Gina-Lisa Lohfink’s Three-Hour Zurich Surgery Eases Pain After Botched BBL

The Zurich operation targeted contaminated deposits left by a 2023 Turkish BBL, a case experts cite when warning about the procedure’s risks.

Overview

  • Lohfink underwent a three-hour procedure by Dr. Andreas Dorow in Zurich to clear deposits on one side, reporting about half her pain is gone.
  • The operation cost roughly €9,000, and a second corrective surgery on the other side is planned in the coming weeks.
  • Doctors had found old fillers, inflamed tissue, pus and contaminated material that partly migrated into her thigh after the 2023 procedure in Turkey.
  • The reality TV personality publicly thanked her medical team and said the intervention has given her a measure of her old life back.
  • Dorow said colleagues cautioned the case was not worth attempting, while professional societies continue to warn that BBLs carry high risks such as fat embolism and require qualified surgeons in certified settings.
