Model, 27, ‘nearly died’ after spending £12,000 on Brazilian butt lift in Turkey

A woman claiming to have the UK’s largest lips has revealed she nearly died after spending £12,000 on a Brazilian butt lift surgery abroad.

Sofia Lips, 27, wants to achieve an hourglass shape and flew to the Turkey for the operation – but claims after she woke up vomiting blood, she was quickly shipped back to the UK the same day. But despite the ‘near-fatal’ incident, she says she would do it again, as she is willing to risk her life to achieve what she considers to be the perfect body.

Sofia, from Manchester said: “The surgery itself went amazing, but I woke up after surgery throwing up blood. I instantly had to go to the airport because Turkey went into a red zone due to Covid in May 2021. There were no drains in my butt, so all the fluid was building up in me. The fluid was a build-up of pure blood because, after a BBL, you are fitted with drains for at least a few days, but I was woken up with nothing, no drains, no aftercare just in a faja [compression suit] being sent to an airport.

“I was totally on my own for the flight, everything. Just standing up was hard… I was so faint. I had a BBL pillow I had to sit on during take-off, then I stood the whole flight, crying behind my sunglasses until landing, [when I] sat back on my BBL pillow. Once I landed, I was so weak and fainting. I went straight home and started filling with fluid in my butt again, so I had to go to surgery at a hospital to drain it.”

After spending £2,000 to get home, Sofia was instantly rushed into surgery to drain the build-up of fluid. Following the initial drain, she had to visit the doctors to be drained once a week for 11 weeks, each time costing her £150. As well as doctors draining the fluid, she also needed regular massages to ease the swelling, three times a week, costing her £80 a session. The surgery – which took place in May 2021 – initially cost her £8,000, with Sofia having to spend an additional £4,000 on her aftercare.

She added: “I didn’t understand at the time the amount of time and things you have to do with the aftercare. I couldn’t sit for 15 weeks, sleeping was almost impossible and my knees got so weak – but it was so worth it.” Sharing a video online, she showed off her new bum, wiggling her healing backside for the camera. Despite the complications, Sofia doesn’t regret her decision, instead planning to have a second BBL.

She said: “I would do it again – I plan to very soon, just to get my ultimate booty perfectly round and huge. Eventually, everything went perfect and I love my new huge booty. With BBL, round one is good but you if want round two, they have [already] taken all your available fat – so you have to spend the next months trying to gain as much as you can weight-wise, which has been really hard for me, but hopefully soon I’ll have enough fat for the next BBL.”
