Brazilian butt lift recovery and after care expenses?

Hi... thank you for the question.. Every Board Certified Plastic Surgeon have different indication post-surgery for their patients.. My self, The patient after a BBL, if blood exams are normal values, and have no irregular symptoms, the patient go home the next day after surgery... I indicate lymphatic dreinage  the 3th day, and evaluate it again 5 days after surgery (no extra cost) 

With Brazilian butt lift we transfer fat from one area of the body to the other. These fat cells are transferred in microinjections throughout multiple planes in the buttock tissue so that they can gain new blood supply and live in their new home, providing increased volume and shape to the buttocks.

Postoperatively, no specific position is indicated and we do not have any sitting restrictions. The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the postsurgical position depends basically on comfort and any other operations that have been performed.

Patients use girdles for 6 weeks and start therapeutic lymphatic drainage and ultrasound massages in the liposuctioned areas, which continue daily for a total of 10 sessions. Patients can
return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery. We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery.

Thank you for your question. If you have someone to take care of you, then that will be helpful. If not, then some plastic surgeons offer home recovery care. You will need to ask your surgeon. Typically, you will have to follow up with your surgeon 1-2 times after surgery to make sure everything is okay. Best Wishes, Dr. Newall
