Is a Brazilian Butt Lift painful?

Your Brazilian Butt Lift will be performed under general anesthesia, so you should be very comfortable. As you will not be able to fully sit on your buttocks for the first few months, most patients find the BBL recovery to be uncomfortable but tolerable. We will provide you with instructions on how to make your healing process as comfortable as possible and Dr. Papanicolaou will prescribe you some temporary pain medication.

How many appointments will I need?

You will return about a week after your procedure so that Dr. Papanicolaou will be able to monitor your progress. After that initial check-up, you will most likely be asked to return a few months later, and finally, around six months post-op to take some “After” photos and ensure that you are satisfied with your ‘new’ buttocks.

How long until I see results?

While individual results may vary, most of our patients should see the final results within six months. The best way to get long-lasting results is to have Dr. Papanicolaou perform the surgery when you are at or near the ideal weight you plan to maintain. Results typically last many years and only change with major weight fluctuations.

Can I combine Brazilian Butt Lift with other procedures?

Absolutely! Many of our patients choose to combine their Orlando BBL with treatments such as a Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation . If you’re interested in the combination of treatments, please discuss them with Dr. Papanicolaou during your consultation, and he will offer his expert advice.

What are the risks associated with Brazilian Butt Lift?

As with any surgical procedure, Brazilian Butt Lifts do come with risks. Your butt contains an array of blood vessels, muscle tissue, and nerves. The risks of a Brazilian Butt Lift can include the following: Infection Excessive blood loss Deep vein thrombosis Fat embolism (injected fat moves into the bloodstream and travels to the lungs) Complications associated with liposuction or anesthesia Fat necrosis (death of the grafted fat cells) If you notice any unexpected reactions, please contact our office right away so that we can assist.

What is Brazilian Butt Lift?

The Brazilian Butt Lift, also known as BBL, is a popular procedure that involves using your body’s fat to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks. It combines Liposuction and Fat Transfer techniques to remove excess fat from one area of your body and strategically inject it into your buttocks creating a lifted and curvy appearance of the gluteal area. By redistributing your own fat cells, this procedure also improves the overall proportion of your body, providing natural-looking and lasting results.

What are the Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift?

Many of our Orlando Brazilian Butt Lift patients have been able to experience the following benefits from a BBL:

A natural look and feel
Better clothing fit
Improved body balance
Fast and Long-lasting results
Less visible cellulite
Less chance of infection as no foreign implants

What’s the First Step?

If you are interested in getting a Brazilian Butt Lift in Lake Mary, just 30 miles north of Orlando, your first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. George Papanicolaou. When you come in for your appointment, you will meet with Dr. Papanicolaou and discuss your goals from the procedure, ask any questions, or address any concerns you may have.

Dr. Papanicolaou will then evaluate your health, examining the viable areas that can provide filler and talk about what size and shape you’d like for your butt. Once you’ve had a chance to share your questions and concerns and collaboratively arrive at the best direction for your buttock contouring journey, Dr. Papanicolaou will create your customized procedure plan, and our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you schedule your appointment.

Before your BBL appointment, you will be provided with pre-surgery instructions which you are encouraged to follow. These include directions on eating, drinking, medications, and use of cigarettes and alcohol amongst other specifics.

What to Expect on the Day of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

When you come in for your surgery, our goal is to make your BBL feel as comfortable as possible and produce the best results. Your Brazilian Butt Lift will be performed under general anesthesia, so you should be very comfortable.

Once sedated, liposuction will be performed, via tiny incisions in the agreed-upon areas of your body, leaving these treated locations, contoured and slimmer.

Then, the extracted fat will be processed and purified for injection into your buttock area to give them a fuller, rounder look as per your discussion. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are sealed with stitches and the gluteal area is wrapped with a dressing, topped by a compression garment.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery

After surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery room until Dr. Papanicolaou decides that you are safe to be discharged. You will need a family member or friend available to drive you home in case you are still feeling some of the effects of sedation.

It is common to see bruising and swelling and experience minor discomfort after the procedure. To support your buttocks and to minimize swelling, you will be advised to wear a compression garment.

It’s essential to follow Dr. Papanicolaou’s post-operative instructions, including proper wound care and restrictions on sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for a certain period. You may gradually return to your normal activities as instructed, and with the proper rest and care, you should return to full activity in about eight weeks.
