How Long Should You Wear The Compression Garment After A Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift is popular here in Montreal because it’s a good option for making the buttocks more prominent, perkier, firmer and proportionate. It enhances your natural curves and gives you a more youthful looking bottom and a very sensual figure. Moreover, it can also improve your hip to waist ratio. It is a very safe and long-lasting procedure.

How Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Work?

A Brazilian butt lift is a very natural surgical procedure, which involves fat transfer. Fat is taken from areas of your body that may have an excess of fat, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, back or flanks (love handles) via tumescent liposuction. The fat is then re-injected back into your bottom to make it more plump. Additional liposuction can also be done to approve the contour of the buttocks as well. Keep in mind that while incisions will be made during this process, they won’t be visible to the naked eye. They will also heal very well.

Candidates for this procedure include those with:

• A flat or small bottom
• Sagging buttocks
• Asymmetrical buttocks

In addition, candidates must have enough fat on their body to be harvested (generally size 6 or up to 20 to 30 pounds overweight), in good health and be a non-smoker.

Post-Operative Recovery Instructions:

• Ensure that you get bed rest and ensure that you drink a lot of water during your first week.
• Do not directly sit on your butt for three weeks (this includes driving).
• Taking two weeks off of work is necessary. If you have a desk job, it is highly encouraged to get a boppy pillow for your chair or a specialty chair when you return to work.
• Consider getting a lymphatic drainage massage every six weeks. This will decrease swelling and bruising.

Part of your post-operative recovery instructions include wearing your compression garment. It is important that you wear this as it controls swelling. It should be worn 24 hours a day for the first two weeks.
