Average Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery Time

Harvesting fat from another part of the body and using it to augment the size and shape of the buttocks can produce long-lasting results via the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure. Your post-operative practices are essential to the outcome and longevity of the results. Your surgeon will be sure to provide complete instructions on how to recover from a Brazilian butt lift to make sure that all your expectations are met. Board certified plastics surgeon Dr. Marco Gonzalez provides Brazilian butt lift surgery to patients in El Paso, TX, and surrounding locations.

Procedure

During your procedure, your surgeon will harvest fat cells from areas of the body such as the back, legs, or abdomen. This provides the advantage of shaping a secondary area, which will significantly improve your figure and give you a desirable hourglass shape. After this, your surgeon will sterilize the fat cells, then inject them into the buttocks.

Recovery

For the initial two weeks, resting on your backside should be avoided. You can sleep on your side or stomach instead and when you sit, you have the option to use a doughnut-shaped inflatable seat or a cushion.

Following BBL surgery, most patients can usually go back to light activity within one week, and to work within a period of seven to ten days. However, strenuous workouts should be avoided until full recovery is achieved, which usually takes six to eight weeks. At that time, you should return to our office for a follow-up visit, and we will evaluate the progress of your recovery, as well as suggest tailored solutions to ensure both your comfort and the desired outcome.
