Most people can apply for a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. However, there are some general premises they must have in order to be a good candidate.
One of them is the desire to have a buttock augmentation without the use of implants. For that, they must have a good skin tone in the hips and buttock area so the surgery can be performed without any problem.
Another characteristic of a good candidate must be the adequate fat stores in other areas of the body to harvest for injection into the buttocks.
Finally, the patients should be willing to avoid sitting on their back for several weeks, as well as taking the time off for the recovery process.
For the first four weeks after a Brazilian butt lift, patients are not allowed to sit or lie on their buttocks and must sleep in other positions, like on their stomach or side. They need to keep avoiding sitting except for using the toilet.
Once fully recovered they can gradually reintroduce sitting, meanwhile, they need to use modified seating options like using a BBL pillow. At every moment the patient should avoid putting pressure on the buttocks. Normal sitting and other activities are typically allowed after 6-8 weeks.
Most doctors recommend not spending too much time sitting until after three months post-surgery.
Patients can use the BBL pillow to sit at any time without putting pressure on the buttocks.
The Brazilian butt lift is a rewarding procedure, with long-lasting results. Your curvier buttocks and improved lower body proportions will be noticeable in how you look and the way your clothing fits by 6 months after surgery when residual swelling has gone away, which typically takes less than one year to happen for most patients.
