Brazilian butt lifts continue to be in high demand. According to figures from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of butt lifts done increased by 19% between 2016 and 2017. In 2017, more than 20,000 buttlift operations were completed.
One of the advantages of a buttlift is that it utilizes your own fat. Another advantage is that it may aid in the development of a rounder, fuller posterior without the need of implants or continual injections. The effects of a buttlift might be long-lasting, if not permanent, depending on various circumstances.
If you’re thinking about getting a buttlift, there are a few things to consider. Your surgeon will perform the hard work, but you must participate in order to get the best outcomes. These suggestions will assist you in preparing for surgery and recovering from it.

What Is BBL Surgery, Exactly?
The desired “hourglass” figure has never been more fashionable than now. While many women want to improve their backsides via a healthy lifestyle of food and exercise, cosmetic surgery is occasionally required to obtain the desired results.
A fat transfer, often known as BBL surgery, is a procedure that uses a patient’s undesirable fat to give fullness, shape, and volume. Liposuction is used in this two-step procedure to remove extra fat from different parts of the body, including the belly, hips, flanks, and thighs. After that, the collected fat is transferred or grafted into the buttocks through tiny incisions for the second phase. Dr. Gartner will precisely implant the transplanted fat cells into the buttocks, contouring and shaping the target region using a creative touch and massage method.
Tips For Getting Ready For A Brazilian Buttlift
Getting ready for a Brazilian butt lift is similar to getting ready for any other sort of cosmetic surgery. You want to do all you can to ensure that your body is in the best possible condition before surgery.
If you smoke or use tobacco products, your surgeon will advise you to cease at least a few weeks before the procedure. Tobacco products include nicotine and other substances that might interfere with your body’s ability to recover after surgery. If you continue to use tobacco products before surgery, you may not obtain the optimum outcomes. If nicotine is present in the body, fat will have a tougher time establishing itself in the new region.
In the weeks preceding up to your buttlift, it’s also a good idea to concentrate on your nutrition. Eating a well-balanced, healthful diet may help you recover faster after surgery.
You should also spend some time getting your house and clothes ready for your rehabilitation following the buttlift. So you’re not stuck ordering takeout after surgery, stock up on easy-to-prepare, wholesome meals. Stocking up on cold packs, pain relievers, and filling any prescriptions ahead of time is also a smart idea. Prepare some books, periodicals, or movies to keep yourself occupied while you recover.
Consider hiring someone to look after your children or pets for the first week or two following your buttlift. Your spouse or a family member may be able to step in and help out.
While fashion and style may not be top of mind while you recover from a buttlift, it might be beneficial to plan out some clothes ahead of time. Anything that exerts a lot of pressure on your rear, as well as anything that is difficult to get into and out of, should be avoided. After a buttlift, loose-fitting jeans with an elastic waist or flowy, loose skirts may be your best friend.
After A Brazilian Butt Lift, Here Are Some Recovery Tips
The recuperation procedure will begin when the operation is completed. As you recover after a buttlift, you’ll notice that several aspects of your life are significantly different from usual.
One of the most significant distinctions is that you will almost certainly need to take a break from sitting during the first healing phase. When you consider how much time the average person spends sitting throughout a regular day, this might be a difficult adjustment.
When it comes to taking a break or relaxing throughout the healing phase, you have a few alternatives. When sleeping or resting, you may always lay down on your stomach or side. A customized cushion created exclusively for persons recuperating from a buttlift is another option. More information regarding these cushions and where to acquire them may be obtained from your surgeon.
Another consideration while you recover from a buttlift is that you will almost certainly need to wear a compression garment. The compression garment will aid in the reshaping of the liposuctioned regions. It may also hasten the healing of these locations. After your operation, you should plan to wear the garment for many weeks.
9 Ways To Improve Your Brazilian Buttlift Performance
There are nine factors a patient should think about in order to get the best BBL results:
- Avoid smoking
- Avoid driving
- Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks
- Keep yourself hydrated
- Eat properly
- Sleep properly
- Maintain a consistent weight
- Dress appropriately
- Exercise accordingly.
AVOID SMOKING
If you want to get the most out of your BBL, you should avoid all types of smoking following surgery, including secondhand smoking. Smoking impairs the body’s capacity to recuperate by reducing the passage of oxygen and nutrients into the circulation. To guarantee that freshly transplanted blood cells survive in their new environment after a fat transfer, they must re-establish a blood supply.
AVOID DRIVING
After surgery, you should not drive for at least 6-8 weeks. Sitting on your freshly transplanted fat cells will suffocate and squish them.
AVOID SITTING ON YOUR BUTTOCKS DIRECTLY
Many patients wonder how they should sit following their procedure.
For at least 3-4 weeks after surgery, avoid sitting directly on your buttocks. If you have to sit, a BBL Pillow or a standard towel is advised.
If you absolutely must sit, a BBL Pillow will provide a little cushion to fit under your lower thigh and relieve strain on your buttocks. Sitting should be avoided for at least 3-4 weeks.
If you don’t have access to a BBL Pillow and want to use a towel instead, perform the following:
When seated, just wrap up a towel into a cylinder and lay it under your belongings. This will help you keep your weight off your buttocks. Just make sure the blood supply isn’t cut off.
KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED
Drinking enough fluids containing electrolytes, salts, and minerals can assist your body in retaining water and recover faster. Himalayan salt is an excellent mineral to include in your daily water. Simply adding a few pinches to your water would be enough. Otherwise, throughout the first eight weeks of your rehabilitation, consider consuming Gatorade, Powerade, or Smart Water.
EAT PROPERLY
Consume nutrient-dense meals to offer your body with the minerals and vitamins it needs to heal. Salmon, avocados, grass-fed butter, walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil are all good sources of healthful fats.
SLEEP PROPERLY
During this time of recovery, stomach sleeping is the best option. Sleeping on your side is a possibility, but only if you are confident you will need not move over to sleep on your back.
Sleeping on your back or behind in any manner is not suggested or advised in any way. For at least two months, avoid sleeping on your back.
KEEP YOUR WEIGHT IN CHECK
Weight reduction after a BBL should be comparable to total body weight decrease.
The effects of a Brazilian Butt lift might be harmed by weight fluctuations. A weight fluctuation of 5 pounds or less is not considered noteworthy; but, large variation will cause fat to develop in “new problem regions.” For example, a lady with a “pear-shaped” physique may acquire weight in her arms rather than her stomach.
WEAR THE CORRECT CLOTHING
Apart from wearing the proper BBL shaping garment after surgery, it’s also crucial to wear apparel that helps you recuperate. The easiest method to destroy freshly transplanted fat cells is to squeeze it with tight clothing.
During the healing process, avoid wearing tight or restricting clothes.
EXERCISE ACCORDINGLY
To guarantee that fat cells are not affected during the first two months of recuperation, avoid intense activities. Light walking is beneficial during this time as long as you keep track of your calorie burn rate.
The fat transplanted cells should have acquired a healthy blood supply after 8 weeks. A good sweat activity at this time will pump new, nutrient-rich blood into the area. Avoid actions that may cause the region to experience more pressure, compression, or even trauma. Avoid leg sleds and stationary bikes. Use an elliptical machine or a hack squat machine if needed. If you are looking into specific exercises it’s best to speak to your surgeon directly to avoid any issues.
