Who is the right candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Cleveland, OH?
Individuals interested in the Brazilian Butt Lift should be in good physical health, have good skin elasticity, and have realistic expectations of their results. Candidates must be willing to stop all tobacco/nicotine use for at least six weeks before and after their procedure to ensure that no smoking-related complications occur during the Brazilian Butt Lift or the recovery period.
Individuals who may qualify for a Brazilian Butt Lift:
- Desire a fuller, rounder, and more pronounced derrière
- Have an adequate amount of fat in another part of their body that can be harvested
- Maintain a stable weight
How is the Brazilian Butt Lift performed?
The Brazilian Butt Lift relies on fat transfer. During your consultation, you and Dr. Goldschmidt will determine the best area or areas from which to collect your donor fat. This fat is commonly removed from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, or upper arms.
This procedure starts with the removal of the donor fat. Small incisions will be made near the donor sites, and the excess, unwanted fat is removed via liposuction. The collected fat will be purified so that only the pure fat cells remain. These cells are then injected into various areas of the buttocks to define, enhance, and lift the butt. As no incisions are made on the buttocks, there is no need for sutures; however, small sutures will be used to close the incisions made at the donor area. Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is an outpatient procedure.
What is the recovery like after a Brazillian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian Butt Lift is usually well-tolerated by patients. It is expected that patients will experience some bruising, swelling, and minimal discomfort in both the donor areas and the injection sites. A compression garment will help reduce swelling, enhance comfort, and encourage circulation and healing. Most patients take about five days to recover, and you should avoid sitting directly on your buttocks as much as possible during this time. Patients can resume most, if not all, regular activities after four weeks.
What results can I expect from my BBL in Cleveland, OH?
After a Brazilian Butt Lift, some of the transferred cells will not survive. Therefore, Dr. Goldschmidt injects a more considerable amount of fat than desired.
The full results of your Brazilian Butt Lift won’t become apparent until after the swelling has subsided and some fat has been absorbed by the body. Once this happens, you can enjoy your enhanced and sculpted physique that includes a larger and rounder buttocks as well as slimmer hips, thighs, stomach, or abdomen. These results are long lasting as long as you continue with a healthy lifestyle and do not experience any major weight fluctuations.
Complications
Fat transfer is considered very safe; unfortunately, any surgical procedure comes with some potential risk. These risks include:
- Adverse reactions to the anesthesia
- Infection
- Bruising
- Blood clots
- Asymmetry
- Fat embolism
How much does a Brazilian Butt Lift cost in Ohio?
The cost of a Brazillian Butt Lift can vary depending on the practice’s geographic location, the associated facility fees, and various fees associated with the anesthesia, surgeon, and combined procedures. For this reason, you will receive a personalized quote for your operation after your consultation with Dr. Goldschmidt.
Frequently Asked Questions About Brazilian Butt Lift
Can a BBL be performed in combination with other procedures?
Yes. The Brazilian Butt Lift is always performed in concert with liposuction (to harvest the necessary fat). It is also possible to combine butt augmentation with a tummy tuck. This combination may increase the cost of your operation, but will usually be less expensive than having each procedure performed separately.
Will my Brazilian Butt Lift give me permanent results?
The long-term results of a BBL procedure are dependent on the patient’s lifestyle following the operation. Your results should last years, if not decades, provided you maintain a stable weight with a healthy and active lifestyle. If these factors are ignored, the results of a BBL surgery can fade or become less apparent over time.
Because a BBL relies on transferred fat, the buttocks will be the first to show the effects of weight fluctuations (either up or down). Should you lose significant weight after your BBL, your buttocks will likely lose more volume than the surrounding areas. The same goes for significant weight gain. This is because the butt has a higher percentage of fat cells.
Can a Brazilian Butt Lift give me an hourglass figure?
While an hourglass figure is considered the ideal body shape, few women can achieve such contours on their own. In combination with a breast augmentation surgery or tummy tuck surgery, a Brazillian Butt Lift may be able to mold your contours to match your desires. However, for some patients, an hourglass figure is simply not achievable. Discuss your goals with Dr. Goldschmidt during your consultation to see what your options are.
What will I need to do during my BBL recovery?
In addition to wearing the provided compression garment and ensuring your incision locations are kept covered and dry, there are a few things you can do to optimize your recovery.
- Avoid sitting on your buttocks for at least five days.
- After the five days, use specialized pillows and other soft materials to cushion your buttocks for at least two weeks.
- Sleep in a position that will not put pressure on your buttocks or liposuction incision sites (such as on your stomach).
