Recovering From a Brazilian Butt Lift

If you’re thinking about getting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), you’re probably wondering what the recovery process looks like. Healing is an important part of the journey, and understanding what to expect can help you feel more prepared. 

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sachin M. Shridharani and the Luxurgery team are here to guide you through your healing journey in New York City, New York. 

What to Expect During BBL Recovery

Recovering from a Brazilian Butt Lift involves several stages:

• Immediately After Surgery: You’ll feel drowsy as the anesthesia wears off and may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. You’ll wear compression garments to support your healing. Avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks.
• First 1–2 Weeks: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal. Continue avoiding pressure on your buttocks and stick to light activities as you focus on rest and healing.
• Weeks 3–6: Swelling decreases, and your results begin to take shape. Follow-up appointments ensure your healing is on track.
• After 6–8 Weeks: Sitting should feel more comfortable, and you can resume most normal activities. 
• After 3–6 Months: You should be fully healed at this point with no more swelling. Time to enjoy your final results! 

Top Tips for a Smooth Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery

Here are a few helpful tips to make your recovery as smooth as possible:

• Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks: Use a special cushion or pillow when you need to sit, and lay on your stomach or sides when resting.
• Wear your compression garment: This helps reduce swelling and supports your body as it heals. Follow Dr. Shridharani’s instructions for how long to wear it.
• Stay hydrated and eat nourishing foods: A healthy diet rich in vitamins and protein will help your body heal faster.
• Follow post-op instructions carefully: Dr. Shridharani’s guidance will be specific to your needs, so stick to his directions for the best results.
