Pain after Brazilian Buttlift

In general, after performing hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts, the average pain or discomfort period lasts from about 3 to 7 days. This largely depends upon the amount of fat injected into each buttock. In most patients, I liposuction the abdomen, flanks, and back for 5 liters and inject 1200 cc to 1500 cc per buttock. The few days of discomfort are worth it according to the patients. Kenneth Hughes, MD Brazilian buttlift Los Angeles, CA more

Pain after Brazilian Butt Lift

Brazilian butt lift is the combination of liposuction and fat injection.

Brazilian butt lift recovery & reducing pain

Following the brazilian butt lift, you must not sit directly on your buttocks for up to three weeks to help ensure permanent results.

However, you should be able to resume all normal activities at 4 weeks post op. The procedure isn't typically associated with a great deal of pain as much as the... more

Los Angeles Brazilian Butt Lift

Excellent question. Most of our Brazilian Butt Lift patients tend to be "sore" for a few days, but are comfortable overall with oral pain control. The procedure "pain level" is akin to that of liposuction. Of course, pain is a subjective phenomena, so it will largely depend on your personal pain thresholds.
