Brazilian Butt Lift
in Little Rock

Although a Brazilian butt lift will often require less downtime than a standard butt lift surgery, you will still need to set aside enough time for proper healing. You will likely experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort both in your buttocks and in the area where the original fat was harvested. Mild medications can help to ease inflammation, which should subside within a week.

After surgery, it is also vital that you follow Dr. Yee’s instructions. Her guidance can help to prevent complications and provide the best possible results. After your surgery, she will likely place surgical tape to help hold your buttocks in their new positions. You should wear this tape for about two weeks, changing it as instructed. You will also need to wear compression bandages or garments for similar reasons. It is important to get plenty of rest for the first several weeks. Short walks around the house are helpful because they stimulate blood flow and encourage proper healing. However, you should not overexert yourself during this time. You can usually return to work in about a week. You can typically resume regular exercise in approximately three to four weeks, or when advised to do so by Dr. Yee. In addition, you should not use alcohol or tobacco, as these products can compromise healing.

Following a Brazilian butt lift, one of the most important things you can do is avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for about three weeks. This will help to preserve the results of your surgery and minimize the number of fat cells that your body reabsorbs. Whenever possible, you should rest in a reclining position, and you should sleep on your stomach for about six weeks. However, there are a number of special cushions that can reduce pressure on your backside during those 6 weeks.
