Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery Recovery: What Is It Like?

A Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, consists of liposuctioning one or more sites and then transferring the fat via injection into the buttocks. Compared to other plastic surgeries that include larger incisions, a Brazilian butt lift is less invasive. However, it still requires a recovery period like any other surgical procedure. 

After a Seattle BBL, Dr. Sajan will make sure you understand your individual recovery instructions. In general, all plastic surgery patients require a caretaker for at least a day after surgery as well as to drive them home after their Brazilian butt lift. You can expect your behind to be swollen and you should avoid sitting on your buttocks or laying on your back for at least a few days. However, this varies based on the amount of fat transferred. Dr. Sajan will provide you with a more specific recovery timeline. 

A Brazilian butt lift surgery recovery usually lasts around two to three weeks. Most patients take at least a week off work, although some may need more depending on their healing process and medical history. Most forms of exercise can be resumed after two weeks. It is important to attend all of your post-operative appointments so that Dr. Sajan can properly assess when you can return to your full routine.
