Are there any methods that can speed up healing time of a Brazilian Butt Lift?

I have read thousands of patients experiences with Brazilian Butt Lifts here on RealSelf. Even with excellent board certified plastic surgeons, the patients come out looking like they were run over by a truck. It seems to take about about 14 days to walk around w/ out pain and 6 months for the swelling to go down entirely. Is there any way this healing time can be sped up? Like less fat transfer, local anesthesia, less fat extracted? It's the recovery time that's holding me back from the surgey.
