When you come in for your surgery, we aim to make your BBL feel as comfortable as possible and produce the best results. Your Brazilian Butt Lift will be performed under general anesthesia, so you should be very comfortable.

Once sedated, liposuction will be performed via tiny incisions in the agreed-upon areas of your body, leaving these treated locations contoured and slimmer. Body fat is harvested, filtered, and grafted back to the patient by a completely closed system, utilizing a disposable filtration unit to isolate clean fat. The risk of infection is introduced whenever a container is opened or a closed system is disrupted or opened. That is why we never open containers of filtrated fat or pour fat from one container to another before fat grafting.

If fat is loaded into a syringe for injection into the hands or face, it is drawn from a port on the filtration unit in a sterile area. 

The extracted fat will then be injected into your buttock area to give it a fuller, rounder look, as per your discussion. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are sealed with stitches, and the gluteal area is wrapped with a dressing topped by a compression garment.

After surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery room until your sedation wears off. You will need a family member or friend available to drive you home in case you are still feeling some of the effects of sedation.

There is expected to be bruising and swelling, and minor discomfort will be experienced after the procedure. To support your buttocks and to minimize swelling, you will be advised to wear a compression garment.

It’s essential to follow Dr. Pace’s post-operative instructions, including proper wound care and restrictions on sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for a certain period. You may gradually return to your normal activities as instructed, and with the proper rest and care, you should return to total activity in about eight weeks.
