How a Brazilian Butt Lift is Performed

Fat is removed from unwanted areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The fat is then placed in special tubes and then the fluid is removed leaving healthy fat cells. This fat is then injected while the patient is prone or laying on their stomach. The butt can be shaped and filled to give more projection and a fuller shape. Anywhere from 50cc of fat to 500cc of fat is usually placed on each butt cheek.

“I am beyond satisfied with my results! I did my research on selecting the right plastic surgeon. Mandell-Brown explains everything so well during the consultation. With other doctors I had checked out I didn’t know the questions to even ask. With Mandell-Brown I always felt super confident and at ease that I was going to get the results that I wanted. He is also very personable and has a great sense of humor. The nurses were all great and made sure I was always comfortable.”

Recovering from a Brazilian Butt Lift

The first several days after your Brazilian butt lift in Cincinnati procedure are often the most painful.

  • Your butt may be swollen and bruised.
  • Your incisions may bleed slightly.
  • You may retain fluid around your affected areas.

To manage pain, some people take either a prescribed pain medication or OTC acetaminophen. If you’re taking prescription pain medication, it’s a good idea to have a family member or friend help take care of you because you shouldn’t drive. As always, discuss your allergies and complete medical history with your healthcare provider.

After one to two weeks, your pain should decrease. You may have to wear a compression garment around the areas that were liposuctioned. In some cases, you may need a temporary drain in the incision to remove excess blood or fluid. You won’t be able to sit or lie down on your butt for at least two weeks. So, you’ll need to stand rather than sit and sleep on your stomach or sides.

After several weeks, you may be able to sit for short periods of time on a specially designed pillow that evenly distributes pressure. You won’t be able to sit without your pillow for approximately eight weeks. At this point, you may be able to participate in light exercises. However, you should avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for one month.

Your body should fully recover between two and three months after your Brazilian butt lift procedure. It’s important to remember that your body is unique, so recovery times may vary. Follow your surgeon’s instructions on how to manage your pain and discomfort throughout your recovery.
