Procedure of BBL

Brazilian butt lift is done either under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. You can be discharged the same day or may have to stay for a day in case multiple procedures are combined. Preoperative, the important instructions to be followed include:

Stop smoking 2-4 weeks before surgery
Avoid or stop all medications that cause thinning of blood including herbal supplements and garlic pills
You may be prescribed Arnica tablets to reduce bruising post surgery
Adequate hydration and be in the best possible health .

The first step in the BBL procedure is to harvest fat from areas of excess like thighs, love handles, abdomen. Small 3mm incisions are placed and thin hollow tubes called cannula are inserted and fat cells are loosened with back and forth movement of cannula. The dislodged fat cells are further suctioned out into a canister or syringe. The fat is later processed to remove the matrix tissue and blood cells and get a yield of pure fat cells. These fat concentrates are injected in multiple planes in the gluteal region to enhance the buttocks. Generally 800-1500 ml is injected on each side but may vary from patient to patient based on the need.

Dressings are applied after the procedure to protect the area of the injected fat.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

You will be prescribed a compression garment after the procedure which has to be worn for 6 weeks.
Pain and discomfort after surgery is expected, but resolves with pain killer medications prescribed by your surgeon. An antibiotic will also be prescribed to prevent any possible infection.
Avoid sitting down or sleeping on your back as much as possible for two- four weeks after surgery. You can sleep on your stomach or on your sides.
You can resume exercises after 4-6 weeks. However small walks can be started as early as 1 week and increase the intensity in the next 1 month.
Regular followup with your plastic surgeon is needed to check on any complications and wound site recovery.

The results of BBL surgery is visible immediately, but may take 6 months to a year to see the final results as 30 % of fat may get resorbed and the remaining fat cells multiply and regenerate to give the final outcome.

The results of the surgery are permanent as long as proper care is given to maintain it. For the best and long lasting results , maintain a stable weight and have a healthy lifestyle.
