Brazilian Butt Lift at Dr. Gustavo Almanzar Plastic Surgery Clinic

After this operation, you are not allowed to sit or lie with your whole weight on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks. You'll experience moderate pain during the recovery period which is controlled through painkillers. There is inflammation and bruising around the operated area, but this swelling subsides gradually in a few days. Do not drive for at least 6-8 weeks as it requires you to sit for a longer period of time. Normal activities associated with sitting and lying can be restarted after 8 weeks. You can start your norman routine after 10 to 14 days. A total of 6 months are needed for the complete results to show up.

After the initial healing, you may want to sit on a special pillow, which puts the pressure on your thighs rather than your butt.

A majority of patients undergoing the Brazilian Butt Lift often experience successful outcomes. This success rate is attributed to several factors including the surgeon's proficiency, the patient's health status, and the quality of the fat being transferred. 

An important factor heightening the success rate is the Brazilian Butt Lift's use of autologous fat (fat from your own body). This approach lowers the likelihood of adverse side effects or rejection than when synthetic materials or implants are used. Furthermore, a strategic and individualized technique, involving careful and evenly distributed injection of the harvested fat into varying layers and sections of the buttocks, notably augments the survival rate of the transferred fat cells.

Notably, the patient's commitment to healthy lifestyle habits and adherence to post-operative guidelines significantly sway the success rate of the procedure. Regular exercise, maintaining an ideal weight, balanced nutrition, and sidestepping detrimental habits like smoking are instrumental in preserving the results of the Brazilian Butt Lift.
