Recovery After A Brazillian Butt Lift
By Albert Chow on September 14, 2010
A Brazillian Butt Lift is a wonderful procedure that sculpts the body by taking fat from one area and placing it in the buttock to create sexy desired curves.
The recovery process for a Brazilian Butt Lift, does require a lot of patience.
The most important part of recovery is that you do not sit directly on your buttocks immediately after surgery. Try to lie on your side and stomach most of the time using pillows and/or rolled bedding to stabilize yourself. You will continue this position for approximately two to three weeks and will be instructed when it’s okay sit on your bottom again.
You will drain a blood colored fluid for 24-72 hours after your surgery, with minimal draining continuing for a week. We do require you to wear a compression garment for a minimum of two weeks to help with swelling.
No lifting, bending, or straining after surgery until sutures are removed, which is usually about a week after your surgery date. You may sponge bath immediately after surgery, and then may shower 48 hours after your procedure.
Recovery time generally varies from one patient to another, but for the most part, most patients are able to return to work within one to two weeks.
