Brazilian Butt Lift

The surgery typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed and transferred. The exact duration may vary based on the patient’s specific goals and the areas being treated with liposuction.

Most patients can resume light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, but sitting directly on the buttocks should be avoided for at least 2 weeks to allow the transferred fat to settle. Full recovery usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks, during which time you should follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions for optimal results.

Like any surgery, a BBL carries some risks, including infection, fat embolism, asymmetry, and complications related to anesthesia. However, choosing a board-certified and experienced surgeon significantly reduces these risks and ensures a safer procedure.

The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can be long-lasting, but not all the transferred fat will survive. Typically, around 60-80% of the fat cells survive, and the remaining fat provides a permanent enhancement. Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results for years.

Yes, a BBL can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or liposuction to achieve a more comprehensive body contouring transformation. Combining surgeries may also help reduce overall recovery time.
