A Brazilian butt lift is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the shape and size of the buttocks. The surgeon removes body fat from certain areas (like the abdomen and thighs) through liposuction. This unwanted fat is processed and then injected into the buttocks, which becomes more projected and round. Unlike butt implants, the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift look and feel natural because the transferred fat is the patient’s own tissue and not a foreign object. Brazilian butt lift makes it possible to sculpt curvier buttocks and achieve better proportions without implants. In addition, it helps to contour the areas where liposuction is performed.
The consultation starts with an evaluation of the patient’s buttocks and hips, as well as their overall health and anatomy. Dr. LaBarbera assesses the skin tone, fat distribution, and muscle structure to determine if a person is a good candidate. He discusses the patient’s goals and expectations, such as increasing fullness and projection of the buttocks. Dr. LaBarbera also explains the procedure in detail – where fat cells will be taken from and how they will be processed and then reinjected into the buttocks. Potential risks are reviewed as well.
Next, the patient undergoes lab tests to ensure safety for surgery. They are asked to stop smoking and discontinue certain medications. Dietary restrictions are also necessary prior to operation. In addition, arrangements should be made for transportation and aftercare following this outpatient procedure. Thus, good preparation and communication with Dr. LaBarbera are vital for the best results.
The recovery period after a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is important for proper healing and optimal results. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort for 14-21 days following the Brazilian butt lift surgery. Compression garments are typically worn for 6 weeks to help reduce swelling.
Most patients take 2-4 weeks off work and normal activities to rest. Any strenuous exercise and lifting should be avoided for more than a month. In addition, patients should not sit directly on their buttocks for at least 2 weeks. It is recommended to get in and out of bed carefully and walk bent at the hips.
Pain medication is prescribed for the first few days, but over-the-counter drugs may be used after. Gentle glute stretches can alleviate muscle stiffness, and massage may be started after 6 weeks. Complete healing can take up to 6 months. Patients should follow post-operative instructions closely to achieve the best possible buttock augmentation.
