Brazilian Butt Lift Gold Coast

How long does BBL surgery take?

The length of time Vaser Lipo combined with buttock augmentation can take will vary, from two to four hours. This timeframe is influenced by factors such as the specific requirements of the individual patient, the areas of the body being treated, and the volume of fat being transferred.

What can I expect after Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

After fat grafting surgery, you may find that your bottom looks a little bit larger than you expected. Due to around 80 percent of the injected fat cells surviving transfer, your doctor may inject slightly more fat than required to allow for potential fat cell death. In the weeks and months following your procedure, this initial swelling will subside, and you will be able to see a more accurate projection of your end results.

Post surgery you can expect bruising, swelling, and pain, which can be managed with pain relief medications prescribed by your doctor. It is essential to adhere to the post-procedure aftercare instructions provided, attend all scheduled follow up appointments, as well as self-perform daily lymphatic drainage massage on all of the treated areas.

Can I sit after having buttock augmentation surgery?

During the post-procedure recovery period, it is recommended to avoid direct pressure on the treated area of the buttocks when possible. This is to help the transferred fat cells maintain a steady blood supply. Common actions, such as sitting or lying on your back, might alter the blood circulation to the newly transferred fat cells, potentially affecting the end results of the procedure.

If situations arise where sitting is necessary, using a specialised BBL pillow is needed, as well as adjusting the sitting posture by leaning forward on the thighs to minimise direct pressure on the buttocks.

Is there any downtime after butt lift surgery?

Following fat transfer surgery, you should expect to take around 14 days off from work, depending on your work requirements and the areas of the body treated.

To reduce swelling and support optimal healing, you will need to wear compression garments for a minimum of six weeks throughout the recovery process, After six weeks, the results from your surgery procedure will become increasingly more visible. All patients must be aware that the final results of surgery can take up to six months or longer to fully appear.

How much of the transferred fat will survive?

Before considering BBL surgery, you must understand that not all of the injected fat cells will survive the transfer process. Typically, the survival rate of fat cells used in buttock augmentation performed with Vaser Liposuction is around 80 percent.

There are additional measures that a patient can take to support the transferred fat. This includes wearing the compression garments, avoiding putting direct pressure on the buttocks throughout the recovery period, and maintaining a stable weight.

Does a buttock augmentation procedure leave scars?

Having a cosmetic procedure will result in some form of scarring, due to the treatment requiring small incisions for both the liposuction and fat grafting elements of the surgery. The incisions made are typically small and tend to diminish over time. Nonetheless, the final appearance and prominence of these scars will differ among individuals based on factors like skin type, previous scarring tendencies, and the use of specialised silicone scar treatments during the healing phase.
