Is it possible to feel pain at all during the Brazilian butt lift procedure or any procedure at all?

Local anesthesia does a less than satisfactory job for pain blocking with many areas of liposuction and during fat transfer to the buttocks which will receive a large amount of fat.  I perform all but the smallest liposuctions under general.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

In order to perform a Brazilian butt lift properly, you should be under general anesthesia and therefore you will not feel anything during the procedure.  I do all of my Brazilian butt lifts under general anesthesia. Make sure that your the person performing your procedure is well qualified, and not doing them under local anesthesia because they are not a plastic surgeon, or don't have the ability to take you to a facility where they can use general anesthesia. Seek a consultation with a board-certified (by the American Board of Plastic Surgery) plastic surgeon who specializes in gluteal shaping.  Hope this helps and best wishes.

i use general anesthesia with a board-certified anesthesiologist  during a bbl procedure.  this means you are asleep and do not feel any of the surgery.  some plastic surgeons prefer to use either twilight anesthesia (where you are sedate but not asleep), or no sedation and solely local anesthesia (just numbing medicine in the tissues but you are fully awake).  it is likely that the patients you are describing that felt pain during the procedure did not have general anesthesia and were awake during it.  it is important to consult with board certified plastic surgeons that routinely offer this procedure - and ask them their preferred method of anesthesia and why.  good luck!
