Brazilian Butt Lift Under Local anesthesia

Picking the right anesthesia for a Brazilian butt lift
Thank you for your question! The Brazilian butt lift is one of the most common procedures in our practice here in Miami.

Smoking and Buttock Augmentation
Cigarettes will not affect the local anesthesia. However, cigarette smoke contains a number of toxic agents that can adversely affect wound healing in surgical patients. If you were my patient I would ask you to abstain from cigarettes for 2 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after surgery. If you're having this operation to improve your shape and you don't have much fat to spare, then every little bit of fat that survives is important. Since you're a social smoker you should have...
