If you’re considering a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), you’re probably excited to transform your body and enhance your curves. To help you feel prepared and confident, here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect before, during, and after your BBL.
Orange County Cosmetic Surgery, led by board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Anthony Miller, offers Brazilian Butt Lift procedures to help patients achieve their ideal body shape. With a focus on personalized care and stunning results, Dr. Miller and his team provide a premier environment for anyone seeking body contouring.
Consultation: Setting Realistic Expectations
Your journey begins with a consultation where you’ll meet your surgeon to discuss your goals, ask questions, and understand the procedure. Dr. Miller will assess whether you’re an ideal candidate by evaluating your health, fat distribution, and desired outcome. He will explain how fat will be harvested from your abdomen, thighs, or flanks and transferred to your buttocks.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Once you’ve scheduled your procedure, we will provide pre-surgery instructions. These often include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy diet. It’s also helpful to prepare your home for recovery, such as arranging a comfortable space and seeking support from loved ones.
The Procedure: Fat Harvesting and Transfer
On the day of surgery, you’ll be placed under anesthesia to ensure comfort. Dr. Miller will perform liposuction to extract fat from your donor areas, purify it, and inject it strategically into your buttocks to create a natural, enhanced look. The procedure should take two to four hours, depending on the fat transfer extent.
Post-Surgery Recovery
During the initial days, expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. You’ll wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and help contour the treated areas. Sitting directly on your buttocks will be restricted for about two weeks to ensure the transferred fat properly integrates. Follow all post-op instructions, including light walking, to promote circulation and healing.
Final Results: Patience Pays Off
While you may notice immediate changes, it can take several months to see the full results as swelling subsides and the transferred fat stabilizes. Try to be healthy with a nutritious diet and exercise to help preserve your long-term results.
