The Procedure:
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical fat transfer procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using a patient’s own fat. The process includes:
- Fat Extraction (Liposuction): Fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back using gentle liposuction.
- Purification & Processing: The harvested fat is purified to ensure only healthy fat cells are used for transfer.
- Fat Injection: The purified fat is strategically injected into specific areas of the buttocks to create a rounder, fuller shape while maintaining a natural look.
Recovery:
The recovery process is critical for ensuring long-lasting, beautiful results. Patients can expect:
- Swelling and bruising in both the donor and injection sites for the first few weeks
- Avoiding sitting directly on the buttocks for at least 2-3 weeks
- Using a BBL pillow to relieve pressure and maintain fat survival
- Returning to light activities within 10-14 days, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks
- Final results becoming visible after 3-6 months, as swelling subsides and the fat settles
Post-Op Care & Precautions:
To maximize fat retention and ensure a smooth recovery, patients should:
✔️ Sleep on their stomach or side to avoid pressure on the buttocks
✔️ Wear compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling
✔️ Stay hydrated and follow a high-protein diet to nourish fat cells
✔️ Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least six weeks
✔️ Follow all post-op instructions provided by the surgeon
