Will a Brazilian Butt Lift hurt?
Swelling and discomfort will be at their highest in the days following surgery. It is recommended to utilize non-narcotic pain medication (e.g. Tylenol) as a first-line approach to pain management.
What are the risks of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Every surgical operation, including the Brazilian Butt Lift, carries some level of risk. You can lessen the chance of complications by selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Mirzabeigi, to operate and adhere to all recovery instructions. Nonetheless, it is prudent to ask and understand the potential hazards before performing the surgery, such as fat emboli, delayed wound healing, infection, bleeding, seroma, and reabsorbed fat.
Is a Brazilian Butt Lift permanent?
The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift are generally long-lasting. The added volume comes from your own fat, making it a permanent enhancement. However, it's important to note that weight fluctuations can affect the size of your buttocks, as they will grow with weight gain and shrink with weight loss.
Will there be scarring following a Brazilian Butt Lift?
You can expect four small scars, approximately ½ inch long, located in discreet areas: two in the Venus dimples of your lower back and two under the creases of your buttocks. These scars are minimal and easily concealed, ensuring they are barely visible.
Will I have to wear compression garments after liposuction?
Yes. Following your Brazilian Butt Lift, wearing a compression garment for six weeks is important. This garment helps support the treated area, reduce swelling, and optimize the healing process for the best results.
Can I get a Brazilian Butt Lift while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The recommended waiting period after giving birth before undergoing cosmetic surgery varies depending on the procedure. However, for tummy tucks, Brazilian Butt Lifts, and liposuction, it is generally advised to wait a minimum of six months. This allows your body sufficient time to heal and ensures safer and more effective results. Pregnancy and childbirth can take a toll on your body, so it's important to prioritize proper healing before pursuing cosmetic procedures. Our experienced team can provide personalized guidance based on your unique circumstances during a consultation.
How long will I have to wait to exercise after a Brazilian Butt Lift?
After your surgery, it is crucial to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include refraining from exercise for six weeks to allow proper healing. Additionally, you may be advised to sleep on your stomach or side to avoid putting pressure on the buttocks during the initial recovery period. These guidelines are essential for ensuring the best outcomes from your Brazilian Butt Lift.
What is a good age to get a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Most Brazilian Butt Lift patients fall within the age range of 20-40. This demographic tends to have fewer underlying medical conditions and may experience enhanced results due to faster recovery and better skin quality than older patients. However, individual factors and consultation with our experienced team will help determine the most suitable approach for your specific circumstances and aesthetic goals.
Can I combine a Brazilian Butt Lift with other cosmetic treatments?
Combining a butt lift surgery, particularly the Brazilian Butt Lift, with another cosmetic procedure is generally not recommended due to the associated recovery process. The Brazilian Butt Lift itself already involves a combination of liposuction and butt augmentation. Most surgeons prefer to focus solely on the butt lift procedure to ensure optimal results and minimize potential risks and complications. It's important to discuss your specific goals and concerns with your surgeon to determine an approach for your desired outcome.
Are there any non-surgical alternatives to a BBL?
There are various alternatives available for those who are not suitable candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift. These options include buttock implants, skin-tightening lasers, compression garments, buttock injections, targeted exercises, topical creams, and dietary modifications. It's important to consult with a qualified professional to determine which alternative is best suited for your specific needs and goals.
How much does a Brazilian Butt Lift cost?
