A Brazilian Butt Lift is one of the most transformative procedures we offer, enhancing your natural shape by removing fat from areas like the abdomen or flanks and transferring it to the buttocks. While results can be beautiful and long lasting, your recovery plays a key role in how those results develop.
At Austin Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Austin Texas, our all female team of board certified plastic surgeons is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care while delivering natural looking results. We believe your experience should feel supportive, comfortable, and empowering from consultation through recovery.
Here are our top tips to help you heal smoothly and protect your results.
Follow Your Post Operative Instructions
Every patient receives a customized recovery plan. Following your instructions closely helps reduce the risk of complications and supports proper healing.
Avoid Direct Pressure
Protecting the transferred fat is essential. You will need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for a period of time. When sitting is necessary, use a BBL pillow to minimize pressure.
Wear Your Compression Garment
Your compression garment helps reduce swelling, support your new contours, and improve overall healing. Consistent wear is key to achieving the best outcome.
Stay Hydrated and Nourished
Healing starts from within. Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a nutrient rich diet supports tissue repair and helps optimize fat survival.
Be Patient With Swelling
Swelling is expected and can take time to fully resolve. Your body is healing and your final results will continue to refine over the next several months.
Ease Back Into Activity
Light walking is encouraged early to promote circulation, but more intense exercise should be avoided until you are cleared by your surgeon. Gradually returning to your routine is important.
Maintain a Stable Weight
The transferred fat will behave like fat elsewhere in your body. Maintaining a stable weight will help preserve your results long term.
Attend Follow Up Appointments
Your follow up visits allow our team to monitor your progress and ensure everything is healing as expected. We are here to support you every step of the way.
Supporting You Through Every Step
Recovery is an important part of your transformation. With the guidance of our experienced all female team, you can feel confident knowing your care is centered around safety, comfort, and beautiful natural looking results.
