3 Things You May Not Expect After Your Brazilian Butt Lift

While breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and facelift cosmetic procedures are popular, the Brazilian butt lift is really taking the cosmetic procedure spotlight. This procedure involves using liposuction to remove fat cells from problematic areas such as the abdomen, love handles, and thighs and then transferring the fat cells into the buttocks area via injection. While your plastic surgeon will tell you what to expect after your butt lift, you may not anticipate or expect the following. Here are three things you may not expect after your Brazilian butt lift and why they often happen:

Buttocks' Size

While post-procedural swelling of the buttocks is normal, you may be surprised at how large your backside actually looks. You may also notice a bit of asymmetry; however, this will resolve in time. Keep in mind that not all the fat that is injected into the buttocks will stay there.

Some of the fat will be reabsorbed into your bloodstream, so this is why your surgeon will transfer a little more fat into the areas around your gluteal muscles. After a couple of months or so, you will be able to tell just how much transferred fat has been retained in the buttocks area. After this time, especially if you maintain your weight and do not start dieting, you won't notice further fat loss.

How Great Other Parts Of Your Body Look

Because your Brazilian butt lift procedure will entail liposuction fat removal from your tummy, love handle area, and thighs, they will look amazing after your procedure. Since you will be focusing on the results of your butt lift, you may not realize just how contoured, taut, and firm these other parts of your body appear.

When you look in the mirror, not only will you love how you will look from your backside, but from every angle of your body as well. Liposuction, in conjunction with your butt lift, will help ensure that your body looks symmetrical, perfectly sculpted, and proportionate. It is important to note, however, that different areas of your body will not heal at the same time, so when one part heals, another part may still look slightly swollen and not as taut as it will appear following complete healing.

How Much You Actually Sit 

You may not realize just how much you sit all day until you are restricted from doing so. After your Brazilian butt lift, your plastic surgeon will recommend that you avoid sitting on your buttocks for at least a couple of weeks following your procedure. You will be advised to sleep either on your side or your stomach; however, if you find it absolutely necessary to sit, do so only if you use an inflatable pillow or donut ring pillow.

When you position the pillow behind your knees, it will alleviate some of the pressure on the buttocks by raising them. If you want to achieve favorable, long-lasting results, it is essential that you avoid sitting on your buttocks as much as possible.

Siting, especially prolonged sitting, can impede circulation and blood flow to the affect areas. Restricted blood flow may damage the transferred fat cells that have been injected into your buttocks. You should also note that not all of the injected fat will survive, whether or not you have sat or not.

If you are interested in enhancing the appearance of your backside, while enjoying the benefits of a flat abdomen, make an appointment with a cosmetic surgeon to learn about the benefits of a Brazilian butt lift. The procedure will improve the contour and overall appearance of your buttocks, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
