Question

Hi guys! My question is, what should I have prepared before getting the surgery? (Brazilian butt lift) Everything from what type of fajas, medicines, creams etc. And lastly ANY tips on how to GAIN weight?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I provide the garment for my patients.  The BBL pillow is usually a good thing to purchase as well.Kenneth Hughes, MD

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Preparation is the same as for any other plastic surgery procedure. No smoking at least 1 month prior surgery, no aspirin nor any blood thinner substance 2 weeks before, no birth control pills or injections 2 weeks before surgery, and to have a 12 gram hemoglobin level minimum to undergo the procedure.
I provide my patients with the compression garment and the  post surgical medicines.

Each surgeon has slightly different pre op instructions. We recommend our patients to have ABD pads, chux pads, ES Tylenol, arnica cream, loose clothing...We provide a compression garment and a BBL pillow. Good luck!
