7 tips to maximize fat survival after Brazilian butt lift

Brazilian butt lift procedure involves transferring excess fat from other body areas to the buttocks to create a fuller and elevated appearance. Some transferred fat can survive in its new location as the body absorbs some of the transferred fat during the recovery period. The percentage of fat survival depends on the plastic surgeon's experience, how much volume was transferred, skin elasticity, and patient care during the recovery period. Following surgeon instruction and guidelines, maximize the rate of fat cell survival.

So here are 7 tips you can follow to maximize fat cell survival. 

1. Choose an Experienced Surgeon

Selecting the right surgeon for bbl surgery maximizes fat cell survival. An experienced surgeon knows the best techniques for harvesting and injecting fat for effective fat cell survival. Some of the transferred fat is absorbed into the body, so the surgeon transferred more fat during the surgery for adequate fat cell survival. Proper fat handling during the procedure can lead to better results and fewer complications.

2. Maintain Stable Body Weight 

During Brazilian butt lift surgery, the transferred fat cells need time to establish a blood supply in their new location. Significant weight fluctuations can disrupt the blood supply formation, causing the fat to break down or not integrate properly. Weight changes can cause the areas where fat was injected to shift or change appearance. Maintaining a stable weight ensures that the results of your surgery remain consistent and look as intended. Rapid weight gain or loss can lead to complications such as uneven fat distribution or the need for additional procedures. 

3. Follow Post-Surgery Care Instructions Diligently

Your doctor will give you post-op care instructions such avoid direct sitting or sleeping on your buttocks. Use a BBL pillow – a small cushion designed for sitting to minimize pressure on your buttocks. Sit on it for at least four to six weeks to maximize fat survival. Wear compression garments, lipo foam, abdominal board, and lipo lumber molder back support to reduce swelling and bruising. Lymphatic drainage massage with a massage roller encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid to prevent fluid buildup after the surgery. Following your surgeon's guidelines prevents complications and supports a smoother recovery.

4. Wear Compression Garments 

Wearing compression garments after a Brazilian butt lift surgery reduces swelling and promotes better blood circulation. The improved blood circulation ensures that the transferred fat cells receive the nutrients and oxygen they need to survive. To get the most out of compression garments use it correctly, make sure the garment fits snugly but isn’t too tight—too much pressure can damage the newly transferred fat. On the other hand, a loose garment won’t provide the support needed to reduce swelling effectively. Wear a compression garment most of the day, and take it off while taking a shower.

5. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol

Smoking and alcohol can negatively affect the blood circulation necessary for fat cell survival. Smoking constricts blood vessels reducing the oxygen and nutrients reaching the fat cells. This can cause the fat to die off or not integrate properly into your body. Alcohol, on the other hand, can lead to dehydration, which also affects blood flow and healing. Dehydration can slow down your body’s ability to recover and can increase the risk of complications.

6. Physical Activity

After a Brazilian butt lift avoid strenuous physical activity that could put pressure on the incision sites and buttocks. . Light physical activity, such as walking improves blood circulation crucial for the transferred fat cells' survival. Good circulation ensures that the new fat cells receive enough oxygen and nutrients, helping them integrate better into your body. Activities like gentle stretching, short walks, and light household chores are ideal during the recovery phase.

7. Balanced Diet 

Eating a balanced diet with plenty of healthy fats can help the fat survive after your BBL surgery. Foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish are great choices because they provide the nutrients your body needs to heal and keep the transferred fat healthy. Drinking enough water is also important. Staying hydrated helps your body heal faster and makes it easier for the new fat cells to settle in and stay put. 

Bottom Line

In short, a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is a popular procedure that enhances the shape of your buttocks using your own body fat. Instead of implants, fat is taken from another part of your body through liposuction and then injected into your butt. By following the tips mentioned above, you can help ensure that the fat survives and you get the best results from your butt augmentation.
