Brazilian Butt Lift in Norwich, CT

Brazilian Butt Lift in Norwich, CTThe ‘hourglass’ shape is the dream for many women who feel as though that goal is unattainable. For some, it is without the proper assistance. Even with a healthy diet and exercise regime, some patients need some extra help in achieving this goal. Sometimes, genetics may hinder our ability to change our bodies proportions, and there is little to be done about that without medical intervention. These genetic issues may create a ‘muffin top’ appearance, a bulge to the outer thighs and buttocks that appear flatter than we want them to be. Dr. Richard J. Martin performs Brazilian butt lift procedures for patients in Norwich, Colchester, Mystic, Waterford, Glastonbury, and nearby Connecticut communities.

What Do I Need To Do Before a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Prepare the living space where you will be recovering. Having a recliner or couch will be ideal. Make sure towels are handy. Get the recommended pillows to sit on, so that there is no pressure near the graft site. A laxative will likely be administered before surgery. Also, have someone to stay with you and assist you for at least 48 hours after surgery.

How Long Does It Take to Perform a Brazilian Butt Lift?

This procedure may take two to three hours, depending on your case.

What To Expect After a Brazilian Butt Lift

Avoid putting pressure on the buttocks. Patients should avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for the first 2 weeks after surgery. Sitting on a special pillow may be possible after a period has passed. Patients are typically able to return to work after one to two  weeks and resume a light exercise regimen after a month.

Only a few quarter-inch incisions are made during the Brazilian Butt Lift, so there will be very minimal scarring. These incisions, once healed, may go almost completely unnoticed.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQs

How much do you have to weigh to get a BBL?

While there is no specific weight qualification to receive a BBL, Dr. Martin and his professional medical team typically recommend patients be within 20 – 30lbs of their ideal weight. This allows Dr. Martin to have enough fat to transfer to the buttocks while also ensuring you get the contoured waist you desire.

How long does a Brazilian butt lift last?

The results of your BBL have the potential to last a lifetime, as the fat transferred to the buttocks will stay there for the long term. That being said, it’s important to remember that weight gain can disrupt the results of your BBL. Dr. Martin and his staff generally recommend patients lead a healthy and active lifestyle to maintain the results of their BBL and other body contouring procedures for years to come.

How painful is BBL surgery?

Because a BBL involves liposuction being performed on a portion of the body to harvest fat, you may experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness around your treated areas. Most patients are able to find this discomfort tolerable with pain management medications and techniques provided by Dr. Martin. He will also provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure you have a quick and comfortable recovery.

When is it safe to sit after a BBL?

Dr. Martin typically recommends patients wait about two to four weeks before sitting down or putting direct pressure on their buttocks. This allows the fat in the treated areas to heal properly and enhanced the patient’s overall results.

When can I wear jeans after a BBL?

Following your BBL, you’ll be asked to wear a compression garment at all times throughout your recovery process. This garment, which feels similar to SPANXX, reduces excess swelling and promotes healthy blood circulation for a quick and comfortable recovery. We typically recommend our patients wait at least two to three months before they wear jeans as the tight-fitted fabric may disrupt the results of their BBL if worn too soon.
