The best candidates are healthy adults who want to improve the size, shape and projection of the buttocks, have sufficient fat for grafting and have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.

The results of the Brazilian Butt Lift are long lasting, as long as healthy habits are maintained. To maintain them, it is recommended:

• Maintain a stable weight
• Eating a balanced diet
• Staying active
• Avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time.
• Use support cushions when necessary
• No smoking
• Protect skin from sun exposure

Yes, it is necessary to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for approximately 3 to 4 weeks, to protect the fat graft and avoid displacements that compromise the results. There are special cushions that help to comply with this indication during recovery.

BBL uses small, strategically placed incisions, so scars are usually minimal and inconspicuous. Over time, they tend to fade and are usually covered by clothing or a bathing suit.

Fat transfer is the preferred method for buttock augmentation. However, some patients do not have enough body fat to achieve the desired volume.

In these cases, alternatives can be evaluated, such as:

• Skinny BBL
• Use of biostimulators
• Buttock implants (less common and with less natural results)
• A personalized assessment with a CPSC specialist is essential to define the best option.

Significant variations in weight can affect BBL results. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a stable weight during the recovery process and in the long term, in order to preserve the shape and volume achieved.

Not all of the transferred fat survives. However, the goal of BBL is for most of the fat graft to permanently integrate. At approximately 6 months, it is possible to assess what percentage of fat has permanently established.

Fat that does not survive is naturally reabsorbed by the body. For this reason, in some cases the surgeon may overcorrect slightly during the procedure.

Although gluteal lipoinjection is a safe procedure when performed by certified surgeons, like all surgery it involves certain risks. Choosing a qualified specialist and strictly following pre- and post-operative indications significantly reduces the possibility of complications.

Potential risks may include:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Temporary numbness
• Changes in sensitivity
• Excessive resorption of fat grafts
• Asymmetry
• Fat embolism
• During the consultation, the CPSC team evaluates each case to minimize these risks.
