Gina-Lisa Lohfink Says Zurich Surgery Eased Pain From Botched BBL

Specialists warn that Brazilian butt lifts carry serious risks requiring qualified surgeons in certified clinics.

Overview

  • The reality star underwent a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey in summer 2023 that left contaminated material, old filler, inflamed tissue and pus, some of which migrated into her thighs.
  • Surgeon Andreas Dorow performed a three-hour procedure in Zurich to clear deposits on one side of her body, with the intervention costing about €9,000.
  • Lohfink reports marked improvement, saying half of her pain has subsided and her persistent fear has eased following the operation.
  • A second operation to address the other side is scheduled in the coming weeks as her recovery continues.
  • Germany’s plastic surgery society highlights the elevated risks of BBLs, including potentially fatal fat embolism, and urges thorough care by certified specialists.
