Brazilian Butt Lift
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift
Also Known As a Buttock Augmentation
Buttock augmentation is a procedure that reshapes and enhances your gluteal area, providing you with an uplifted and shapelier buttock profile. In the past ten years, this procedure has become increasingly popular worldwide, with shapely buttocks often seen as a symbol of femininity and sensuality. The most frequent methods for enlarging and reshaping your buttocks are fat grafting using your own natural fatty tissue (popularly referred to as the Brazilian butt lift).
When To Consider a Brazilian Butt Lift
If any of the following describe you, a Brazilian butt lift is an option to consider: • If your buttocks are too small for your body frame and you want a more balanced look • If your buttock shape is too flat or square and you would like more curves and a more youthful appearance • If weight loss or the aging process has left your buttocks loose, sagging, or flat • If clothes and swimwear do not fit properly on your figure
Recovery & Downtime
You can expect swelling, bruising and some pain after your procedure. You will have compression garments that will need to be worn for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. We strongly encourage 7-10 days of downtime to recover. You will have lifting restrictions for a minimum of 1 week and will need to use a “booty pillow” (included with your patient care bag) for a minimum of 6 weeks for optimum results.
Had a great experience. Dr. Maningas and his staff are very kind. All of my questions were clearly answered and I felt completely comfortable.
I cannot not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Maningas and his practice. Everyone is so pleasant. I could not be more happy with the care I received!
Dr. Maningas is a fine person, skilled surgeon, and enjoys helping his patients. He will be a true asset to the community and I look forward to his return to Joplin.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR A COMPRESSION GARMENT?
Yes. You will be sent home in a compression garment following your procedure that will need to be worn for a minimum of 6-8 weeks.
WILL MY INCISIONS BE VISIBLE?
With a Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, there will not be any large incisions. You will only have small punctures from the liposuction and fat transfer.
WHY DO I NEED A BOOTY PILLOW?
After a Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, it’s important to avoid sitting on your buttocks for 6-8 weeks. It takes time for newly transferred fat cells to re-establish blood supply. The fat cells are very fragile and susceptible to pressure. Pressure could cause fat cell death and minimize surgical results. The booty pillow’s unique shape is designed to prevent your buttocks from sitting on flat surfaces.
