  • The removed fat is processed to eliminate unwanted oil and other tissues.
  • The fat is then injected into the buttocks through small incisions using a syringe or cannula.
  • The fat is grafted in multiple layers to tailor the shape of the buttocks and smoothly deposit the fat.

We will spend time reviewing these instructions with you to ensure that you are confident and comfortable before your procedure. Our goal is to provide education and be there for you every step of the way. Patients should be off all blood thinners 2 weeks prior to surgery. We advise strict smoking/nicotine cessation 6 weeks prior to surgery and 6 weeks after.

Dr. Goggin and the Westside team will give you specific information regarding aftercare to optimize your post-op recovery. Our team will be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Recovery time can be variable between patients and surgeries. After Brazilian butt lift surgery, recovery is typically 2 weeks. Most patients will require assistance for the first 24 hours after surgery.  We recommend you drink plenty of fluids, eat a healthy diet, and walk often to optimize healing. You are recommended to not sit directly on your butt or put pressure on for the first few weeks.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQS

What will my recovery be like following butt augmentation?

01

You will experience some bruising and swelling after the procedure. For the first two weeks following your procedure, you should avoid sitting or putting direct pressure on your butt. After this time, you may attempt a sitting position using a pillow to take pressure off the buttocks. Over the next several weeks you can begin to incorporate more movements and positioning as directed by your surgeon. After six weeks after surgery you may resume normal exercise.  Most major swelling should subside after three months.

Is butt augmentation painful?

02

General anesthesia is used during butt augmentation surgery. You may feel discomfort following your procedure typically in the areas where you had liposuction performed. Post-operative pain is well controlled with medications.

Will my procedure result in scars?

03

Typically only small access incisions are used, resulting in minimal scarring. These incisions are discreetly placed and can easily be hidden using clothing, bathing suits, or underwear. Scars can be red for the first several months but tend to fade over time with proper care and scar management.

Is fat transfer permanent?

04

After your surgery, you may lose some of the initial volume placed at the time of your fat transfer. The fat that survives and develops new blood supply is permanent and will provide you with long-lasting results.  Typically 50% of the fat injected into your buttocks stays.
