What Is Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is a popular cosmetic surgery that involves the transfer of fat from other areas of the body to the buttocks, resulting in a fuller, more shapely posterior. The procedure includes liposuction to remove fat from different body areas, which is then processed and injected into the buttocks to enhance the size and shape

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is a Brazilian Butt Lift performed?
The procedure begins with liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The harvested fat is then processed and injected into the buttocks to add volume and improve contour.
Is a Brazilian Butt Lift painful?
Some discomfort is to be expected after the procedure, but it can be managed with pain medication prescribed by the surgeon. Patients should also expect some swelling and bruising.
What is the recovery time for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Recovery time can vary, but patients should plan on taking at least two weeks off from work and avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks after the procedure. Patients should also avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for several days to allow the newly transferred fat to settle in place.
Can I sit down after a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Patients are typically advised to avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks after the procedure to allow the newly transferred fat to settle in place. After that time, patients can gradually increase their sitting time as tolerated.
Will the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift be permanent?
The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can be long-lasting, but they are not necessarily permanent. Some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time, and weight gain or loss can also affect the appearance of the buttocks. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight can help prolong the results.
