Buttock augmentation is one of the popular surgical applications that continues to be preferred by women. According to the plastic surgery statistics made in recent years, the demand for Brazilian butt lift surgery is increasing day by day. A butt lift procedure is applied every 30 minutes on average every day. Brazilian butt augmentation operation (Brazilian buttock) or butt augmentation is a butt augmentation operation in which the person’s own fat is used to enlarge and shape the butt.
In this operation, fat is removed by liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, hips and hips, and then this fat is applied to the buttock. In some cases, additional liposuction can be applied around the butt in order to ensure the uprightness and fullness of the butt.
healing process
It is normal to have bruising and swelling in the areas where the fat cells are removed immediately after the operation. Pain is at a level that can be controlled with medications. The recovery period after the operation varies from person to person, but most patients can stand up one to two days after the operation. It is recommended to act in order to avoid constipation after the surgery. It is normal to have a discharge from the place where the incision was made. Don’t worry if there is even blood in the fluid; this will disappear a few days after the operation.
corset use
Your surgeon will ask the patient to wear a special corset to treat the areas where liposuction was applied after the surgery. It is recommended that the patient wear this garment for eight weeks to ensure that the area from which the fat was removed has healed properly. This method is also used to keep swelling to a minimum, reduce discomfort, and help the skin recover.
sitting position
One of the most important points about recovery after Brazilian butt lift surgery is the sitting position. It is recommended that you do not sit directly on your butt for at least eight weeks after the operation. Patients are generally advised to sleep on their stomach or on their side. In cases where you have to sit, it is recommended to use a circle or inflatable pillow. Putting the pillow between your legs helps to prevent the pressure exerted on the fat graft by raising the butt. Since sitting directly on the butt can affect the circulation of fat in the area, following these recommendations is very important for achieving long-term results.
Reducing blood circulation can break down fat cells injected into the butt. However, it is important to know that the possibility of 40% of the transferred fat not being permanent exists whether the patient is sitting or not. After the first eight weeks of treatment, it is still important to use a pillow and avoid sitting for long periods of time when sitting. It is also recommended to sleep on your back for the first eight weeks after surgery.
continue activities
It is necessary to avoid intense activities, especially activities involving jumping, immediately after the surgery. After a month, light activities such as fast and brisk walking can be done. Depending on how the patient responds to the operation, most patients can return to their normal activities six to eight weeks after the operation.
After the permanence of the fat cells is ensured, heavier activities can be started again. In order to achieve the look you want, it is very important that you follow all the post-operative recommendations suggested by your plastic surgeon.
