The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure wherein fat from other areas of the body is transferred to the buttocks in order to create a more shapely, fuller appearance.
Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
Individuals looking to lift, shape and enhance their buttocks may be suitable candidates for the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). To determine if this procedure is right for you, it is important to speak with a trained plastic surgeon about any possible risks associated with a BBL, as well as your medical history.
How is the procedure performed?
For a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), fat is typically harvested from another part of the body and injected into the buttocks to add volume, lift, and shape. The procedure requires general anesthesia and is performed by a trained plastic surgeon.
How long does the procedure usually last?
The procedure typically takes about 3-4 hours to complete.
How long will I need to remain in the hospital after the procedure?
Having a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure done typically requires no inpatient stay, but you may need to arrange for someone to drive you home due to the sedative effects of the anesthesia. It is important to follow all post-procedure instructions from your plastic surgeon and discuss any potential risks associated with BBL, as well as your medical history, before committing to the surgery.
What is the healing process after surgery?
When undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), it is common to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the area where the fat was injected or removed. These side effects should resolve within a few days but can be managed with pain medication if needed. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for caring for the treated area and avoiding strenuous activity during the post-procedure recovery period.
Will the procedure leave scars?
When undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), it is common to experience some scarring at the incision sites used to harvest fat, which can be located in the abdomen, thighs, or other areas. These scars should fade over time and will not be visible under clothing. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for caring for the treated area and avoiding strenuous activity during the post-procedure recovery period to ensure you get optimal results from your BBL procedure.
How long before I can return to my normal daily activities?
After undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities within one to two weeks. However, it is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for avoiding strenuous activity and caring for the treated area during your recovery period in order to achieve optimal results.
