Brazilian Butt Lift - Get a Beautiful, Curvy Backside

by BodySculpt NYC Body Sculpt - Plastic Surgery

Brazilian butt lift (BBL) improves the size and shape of the buttocks using patient’s own fat. Brazilian butt lift in NYC involves extracting unwanted fat from areas such as the mid-back, flanks, thighs, and abdomen through liposuction, and injecting this fat into the buttocks to achieve the desired results.

When planning to undergo the procedure in NYC, then it is essential to ensure that it is carried out by skilled and talented NYC plastic surgeon. Leading plastic surgeons in NYC provide the Brazilian Butt Lift under local anesthesia (BBLULA). BBLULA has been proved to be extremely successful as a safer alternative for traditional BBL.

The surgeon you choose should be expert in performing liposuction as well as fat transfer to the buttocks. An experienced surgeon will inject the fat in the right areas and at the right depth, which is important for safe treatment and optimal results.

Preparing for Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

Here are the things patients need to do prepare for this buttock enhancement procedure:

Undergo the standard history-physical and other appropriate tests to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for this procedure
Take the prescribed medications and adjust current medications as advised
Stop smoking at least 2 weeks before the procedure
Avoid all medications/products that contain aspirin/blood thinners such as Motrin, Advil, vitamin E as well as herbal supplements at least 2 weeks prior to surgery

Arrange for loose clothing to be used on the following day
Shower with surgical soap on the morning of the surgery
Remove all piercings and nail polish
Avoid wearing makeup and body lotion or any cream
Prepare the house and the room where you will be recovering -- you have to rest in a reclining position, whenever possible, and use towels as you will drain a lot for 24-48 hours.
Arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.

Recovery after BBL

Your surgeon may recommend wearing a special compression garment for up to 4 – 6 weeks to control swelling. Your need to minimize the amount of pressure or sitting or time you spend sitting for first 3 – 4 weeks after surgery to maximize the graft survival. When you want to sit, use a well-padded seat for short periods, not more than 10 minutes at a time. You have to sleep face down or on your side for at least 1 week. Avoid doing any strenuous activity for up to four weeks after the procedure. You should keep your follow-up dates.

During your consultation, reliable surgeons would also show you before and after photos of their patients who have undergone the procedure. They will inform you about the benefits and risks associated with the procedure so that you can take a well-informed decision.
