Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery (Part One)

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery (Part 1)

How long is the recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Everybody heals differently. Ability to heal can depend upon age, overall health, genetics and how extensive your procedure was.

Brazilian Butt Lift patients generally take anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks off from work to recover.

Birmingham Double Board Certified plastic surgeon generally recommends that patients avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks. After that, sitting on a “boppy” type pillow, is recommended to put pressure on the thighs instead of the butt.

Patients will generally be advised to wear a compression garment for up to six weeks after their Brazilian Butt Lift to decrease bruising and swelling and to help loose skin retract.

The general swelling will generally improve substantially after two weeks. It may take four to eight weeks to improve completely, and the underlying inflammation from the liposuction can last several more months.

Activity After a Brazilian Butt Lift

It is generally recommended that strenuous exercise be avoided for about a month to six weeks. This enables the newly transferred fat cells an opportunity to survive long-term.  Light aerobic activity and weight training can typically be resumes few weeks after surgery, with your Dr.’s permission.

However, movements like gentle stretching and walking can assist in the healing process and should typically begin the day after your procedure. Dr. Ali will provide you with specific after care instructions.

Generally patients are also advised to sleep on their sides or their stomach during the first couple weeks.

It is always important to follow your doctor’s specific instructions for after care to achieve the best results.

Will I have a scar from a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Brazilian Butt Lifts involve harvesting fat via liposuction using small tubes (“cannulas”) that are inserted into the skin. The incision needed for these cannulas are less than a centimeter wide – so you will be left with very tiny scars.

For the first few months after a Brazilian Butt Lift the scars will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. But over time the scar will becomes soft, pale, flat, and barely noticeable.

However, if you are prone to hypertrophic scars or keloids, or these scars run in y our family, you should inform your doctor before your Brazilian Butt Lift.

Always use sunscreen, and avoid any prolonged exposure to the sun for at least two months, as UV rays can darken scars’ appearance. You may also ask your doctor about using a scar lightening cream, or laser treatments, to further minimize the appearance.

Are massages necessary after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Birmingham double board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali may recommend lymphatic drainage massage for you following your Brazilian Butt Lift, as it can significantly help decrease bruising and swelling.

Depending on the status of your recovery, the blood flow after the Brazilian Butt Lift, and other personal recovery factors, Dr. Ali may also recommend massage a few weeks after your procedure.

What are the possible side effects and complications of a Brazilian Butt Lift?

When performed by an experienced Birmingham double board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali, the Brazilian butt lift procedure has a very high success rate, with rare complications. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is not without some risk.

Following your post procedure aftercare instructions will greatly minimize the possibility of any risks or complications.

Common side effects after a Brazilian Butt Lift include bruising, swelling, and some pain or discomfort. Dr. Ali will provide you with a prescription for medication to manage any pain.

Irregular contour, asymmetry, infection, and loss of fat due to not following post-op instructions are rare but possible side effects.

When Will I See Results from My Brazilian Butt Lift?

Most of the obvious swelling will subside in about two to four weeks after the procedure. Approximately 3 months after Brazilian Butt Lift most patients begin to see their final results.

In some cases, it may initially appear that you are wider across your back and stomach because of the swelling and fluid that may still be draining from the liposuction. Do not worry or feel discouraged! This is normal, and as the swelling begins to subside your proportions will become shapelier.

Who Can Get a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Who Can Get a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Most individuals who are in good health are candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift to improve the appearance of their behind.

A Brazilian Butt Lift transfers your own fat cells (usually from the abdomen, “love handles,” back or thigh) to your behind area. Therefore, a good candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift should be close to their ideal weight but have enough fat for liposuction.

The skin in the areas from which the fat will be removed needs to have good elasticity, as well, to avoid sagging after the liposuction.

There is not an age limit for a Brazilian Butt Lift, as long as you are in good health, with good skin elasticity. Many of our Brazilian Butt Lift patients have gotten the shapely “behind” they have always wanted with a Brazilian Butt Lift in their 40s, 50s and even 60s!

What If I Don’t Have Enough Body Fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

People who do not have enough fat to transfer – but are otherwise good candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift – may in some cases need to gain 10 to 20 pounds prior to surgery.

However, if you are a very small, thin, or underweight individual with low levels of overall body fat, you may not be a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift. In these cases, implants or Sculptra injections may be your only option for enlarging your behind.

Read more about these options HERE.

Who Can’t get a Brazilian Butt Lift?

As with any cosmetic surgery, if you have any underlying heart or lung conditions, or neurological disorders, you may not be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift. If you have any medical conditions, including diabetes, breathing problems or heart disease, it is important to consult with your personal doctor to determine if you are an eligible candidate for surgery.

Patients with anemia may need to take iron supplements and achieve a healthy blood count before any surgery – including a Brazilian Butt Lift.

Additionally, patients who are unable to adhere to the proper rest and recovery period after the surgery, should wait until they are in a position to recover before considering a Brazilian Butt Lift.

Pregnancy and Brazilian Butt Lifts

If a patient is pregnant or planning on getting pregnant in the near future, it is advised to wait until after giving birth and finishing breast feeding before undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift.

However, if you’re planning on having children several years down the road, should be able to have a Brazilian Butt Lift now. Neither the liposuction nor the fat transfer affects your fertility, and do not pose a risk to future pregnancies.

How Much Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Cost?

How Much Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Cost?

The total cost of a Brazilian Butt will vary according to how much fat must be removed, from how many areas, and where it will be re-injected.  In addition to the physician’s fee, the cost also includes anesthesia, operating room costs and all post-operative office visits.

The average total cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift is around $8,000 to $10,000. However, keep in mind that liposuction body sculpting (abdomen, waist, hips and thighs) is included with the procedure. So it’s like getting two procedures for the price of one!

Doctor Ali will offer you a consultation to determine the actual number of areas which need to be liposuctioned, in order to achieve your appearance goals.

The type of butt lift surgery you choose affects the total cost. A traditional butt lift is more expensive, since it requires the plastic surgeon to remove tissue, tighten underlying muscles, and trim excess skin. Butt implants (which use silcone butt pads) are also more expensive than a Brazilian Butt lift, which uses the patient’s own body fat.

A highly qualified board certified plastic surgeon with extensive expertise and experience may cost slightly more up-front. But they can save you money in the long-run since they provide a safe surgery, with excellent outcomes with a much lower risk of complications.

Where you have your butt lift surgery done also affects the price. Beverly Hills, CA surgeons, for example, charge considerably more for Brazillian Butt Lift surgery than do plastic surgeons in the Midwest.  Doctor Ali provides the same level of care and experience at his Detroit, MI MedSpa as celebrity surgeons do in the Hollywood area – at a much lower cost.

The type of anesthesia and sedation your plastic surgeon uses will also affect the cost. This will vary depending on the kind of butt lift surgery you require, your medical needs, and your personal preferences. Doctor Ali will discuss this with you during your consultation.

Additional costs to consider include: pain medications for your recovery, antibiotics as you heal, compression garments, seating pillows and other materials needed to help you heal properly.

Does Insurance Cover Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

Typically health insurance providers will not cover any type of butt lift surgery, since this is considered an elective cosmetic procedure.

However, in a limited number of situations, your insurance company may pay for a portion or all of your surgery if excess buttocks skin is causing medical issues such as skin infection. If you believe that you have a demonstrated medical need for butt lift surgery, you will need to contact your insurance provider.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQs (Part 1) – 

Bloomfield Hills area double board certified plastic surgeon Doctor Ali has helped hundreds of women get a firm, toned, shapely behind with Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery. In this two part article he answers some of his patients most frequently asked question about Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery.

Take a moment to read the information below. Then call Bloomfield Hills double board certified plastic surgeon Doctor Ali for a consultration – and finallyget the beautiful curves you’ve always wanted with Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery!

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that transfers a patient’s own fat cells (usually from the abdomen, “love handles,” back or thigh) to their behind area. A skilled plastic surgeon effectively “sculpts” the body by removing fat from unwanted areas (using liposuctions) – and then using that fat to plump and round the buttocks.

How Long does a Brazilian Butt Lift take?

Because of the careful way the fat has to be extracted through a fine tube (liposuction), then processed, and finally reinjected into the buttocks using hundreds of injections, the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is somewhat time consuming.

Typically, a Brazilian Butt Lift will take from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the amount of liposuction performed and the amount of fat to be reinjected into your buttocks.

How Long does a Brazilian Butt Lift Last?

The result you achieve with a Brazilian Butt Lift should be permanent. While some of the fat initially placed will be absorbed and lost over the first few weeks, whatever fat “takes” and is present after the first month or 6 weeks is what you will keep permanently.

Because the entire fat cells (and not just the fat itself) are transferred into the buttocks, with a Brazilian Butt Lift patients typically have as much fullness in their behind 10 years after surgery as they have at the 6 month mark.

Maintaining a stable, healthy weight is key to keeping your Brazilian Butt Lift results looking its best for years to come.

Does a Brazilian Butt Lift remove cellulite?

As part of the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, Dr. Ali skillfully injects fat cells to sculpt, reshape and “fill in” the buttocks which removes the appearance of cellulite in addition to making the behind area plum per and more shapely.

How Much Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Cost?

The total cost of a Brazilian Butt will vary according to how much fat must be removed, from how many areas, and where it will be re-injected.  In addition to the physician’s fee, the cost also includes anesthesia, operating room costs and all post-operative office visits.

The average total cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift is around $8,000 to $10,000. However, keep in mind that liposuction body sculpting (abdomen, waist, hips and thighs) is included with the procedure. So it’s like getting two procedures for the price of one!

Can a Brazilian butt lift be reversed?

While a Brazilian butt lift is considered a long-term procedure, revisions can be made if you are dissatisfied with your results.  Some of the transferred fat can be easily removed from certain areas simply using liposuction.

In other cases, additional fat can also be added to correct asymmetries or increase size or adjust shape.
