It’s no secret that Brazilian butt lifts have skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years. Many people have chosen to undergo this procedure to achieve fuller and rounder buttocks in a more natural way, as it is performed using fat from other parts of the body. While this fact has you interested in potentially receiving a BBL, you probably have a number of questions regarding the procedure, such as the longevity of its effects.
The good news is that Brazilian butt lifts can last for quite some time with semi-permanent results. Having your own fat cells injected into your buttocks ensures that the effects are longer lasting than other artificial enhancement methods like implants. However, there isn’t an exact time frame for how long a BBL will last; it will depend on numerous factors such as:
The Post-Op Recovery Process
The time immediately following a Brazilian butt lift is crucial to the effectiveness of the procedure. For the first two weeks, you should avoid both sitting and laying directly on your buttocks. When you do need to sit, it should be on top of a donut or pillow. You’ll also need to wear a compression garment to help reduce bruising and swelling, but you should avoid any other tight or restrictive clothing. While light activity like walking is typically okay a week after surgery, you should avoid strenuous exercise for the first 4 to 6 weeks.
Your Lifestyle
Once the healing period is over, you can truly begin enjoying your new figure. While our bodies naturally fluctuate over time, you should avoid any major weight changes as these can negatively impact your Brazilian butt lift. Losing too much weight can obviously cause fat to be lost in all areas of your body, including your buttocks. Each person holds weight differently, so if you were to gain an excessive amount then it could potentially accumulate in undesirable parts of the body and cause your figure to become unbalanced.
The Cosmetic Surgeon
Don’t assume that every surgeon who offers Brazilian butt lifts will provide the same level of quality and care. You should trust a doctor that is not only board certified but also has extensive experience performing Brazilian butt lifts. Dr. Manik S. Bedi at Tampa Surgical Arts meets this criteria and more.
Not only is Dr. Bedi a triple-board-certified cosmetic surgeon, but he customizes every Brazilian butt lift to each unique patient. When you reach out to Tampa Surgical Arts for a BBL, you’ll begin the process by sitting down with Dr. Bedi to discuss your goals and having him perform a physical examination.
