What to Expect Before and After a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

Posted by Mr. Sultan Hassan on August 16th, 2017

In the year 2017, the demand for Brazilian butt lift surgery is expected to increase by as much as 500%. Typically an inpatient procedure that it performed under general anaesthesia, this surgery requires small incisions in the areas where the fat has to be removed through a liposuction, and a cut in your buttocks where the fat will be injected. Fat is typically gathered from your back, thighs, and stomach. Using your own fat makes it easier for the fat cells to recuperate faster. Compared to saline implants, your own fat is the more natural choice.

Brazilian butt lifts are not just for people with flat buttocks, but also for those with asymmetrical or sagging buttocks. They could also be used to adjust the shape of the butt after a huge weight loss.

When thinking of getting a Brazilian butt lift surgery, you should first and foremost be certain that you are going through the procedure for yourself and not just to please other people. Your need to develop realistic expectations to avoid any disappointments. It’s also important to talk to your surgeon about possible complications and post-operative care.

Four weeks prior to the surgery, you will likely be asked to stop smoking. Smoking is not advisable after surgery, either, as it causes vasoconstriction. This will decrease the delivery of oxygen to the transplanted fat, which then makes recovery slow and difficult.

The stitches typically dissolve over time and require no removal. Expect to see some bruising and inflammation, which will last for around a week and is normal. You should also refrain from a high sugar diet since it increases swelling.

There are special cushions you could purchase that enable you to sit without much pressure on your buttocks. You should also wear a pressure garment that keeps the new shape intact and reduces the swelling. For the first three weeks, you are not allowed to sit for long periods of time, drive, squat, and stretch. To further preserve the shape and the transplanted fat, sleeping on your buttocks is not allowed for the first few weeks. The scars should not be exposed to direct sunlight for a year, but if this is unavoidable, be sure to use sunblock and keep the exposure to a minimum.
