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 weeks, 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. Pace 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. Pace 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. Pace 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 Greensboro, NC Brazilian Butt Lift with treatments such as an Arm Lift , Breast Lift , and Thigh Lift . If you’re interested in the combination of treatments, please discuss them with Dr. Pace during your consultation, and he will offer his expert advice.

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 Greensboro 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

Who are the Best Candidates for the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure?

If you find yourself genetically predisposed to a flat backside, you may be a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Greensboro, NC. Other characteristics of a good Brazilian Butt Lift candidate are individuals interested in:

Correcting cellulite appearance
Creating a voluptuous silhouette
Improving the size and shape of buttocks
Healthy individuals without medical conditions that impair healing or increase the risk of surgery
Maintaining realistic goals
Possessing excess, unwanted fat in other areas of their body that can be used as filler
Willing to practice proper diet and exercise to keep their new shapely appearance

What’s the First Step?

When you come in for your appointment, you will meet with Dr. Pace to discuss your goals for the procedure, ask any questions, and or address any concerns you may have. Dr. Pace will then evaluate your health, examine the viable areas that can provide fat to transfer, and talk about what size and shape you’d like for your buttocks. Once you’ve had a chance to share your questions and concerns and collaboratively arrive at the best solution for your buttock contouring journey, Dr. Pace will create your customized procedure plan, and our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you schedule your surgery. Before your BBL procedure, 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 locations contoured and slimmer.

Then, the extracted fat will be processed and purified for injection into your buttock area to give it a fuller, rounder look. 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. Pace 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. Pace’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.

The cost of Brazilian Butt Lift in Greensboro, NC is based on several factors, including but not limited to, the area of the body being targeted for filler fat, anesthesia cost, surgery cost, and the doctor’s office visit fee.
