How Painful is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) involves liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks. Understanding the pain and recovery process is essential for anyone considering this procedure.
Pain During the Procedure
Anesthesia: BBL is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, so you won't feel pain during the procedure itself.
Post-Operative Pain
Immediate Recovery: Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common in the first few days. Pain medication is prescribed to manage this.
First Week: Pain is typically moderate and can be managed with medication. Patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks.
Weeks 2-4: Discomfort gradually decreases, but sitting and sleeping on your back should still be avoided to ensure optimal fat survival.
Managing Pain
Pain Medication: Your surgeon will prescribe pain medication to help manage discomfort.
Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments helps reduce swelling and support the healing process.
Activity Restrictions: Avoiding strenuous activities and following post-operative instructions can minimize pain and complications.
