Hello and thank you for the question. The Brazilian butt lift has become one of the most popular procedures today. The procedure is a combination of liposuction and fat transfer. The surgery is done under full anesthesia, and takes about 2+ hours to complete. Most patients will need 1-2 weeks off of work and about 1-2 months before you resume exercise. The success depends on both you and the plastic surgeon. Your underlying health, available fat, skin tightness and elasticity, and the size / shape of your buttocks will affect the quality of the outcome. The plastic surgeon's skills, experience and judgement in this procedure will also be key factors in the quality of your outcome. Remember that some of the fat that is transferred does not survive. Typically about 70% of the fat lasts long term.Myasthenia Gravis: this is an autoimmune disorder where the body makes antibodies against acetylcholine receptors. This causes muscle weakness and fatigue. When surgery is considered, it is important that anesthesia providers take this into account. Since most BBL procedures do NOT require muscle relaxants, it is possible to be done with other anesthesia medications. However, most doctors will require you to have preoperative medical clearance and probably do this in a hospital setting so you can be closely monitored after surgery. Best to you#brazilianbuttlift

Fat grafting for a BBL is highly variable depending on donor site availability and goals for the procedure. In general the volume will range from 500cc each side to 1500cc if you were to look at 1 standard deviation.
Certainly your stamina will be less during the early post-op and your heart rate may go up. It can also go up with other things. The most common is dehydration. Best to review with your surgeon.
