Buttock augmentation is a procedure that reshapes and enhances your gluteal area, providing you with an uplifted and shapelier buttock profile. The shape and proportion of a person’s buttocks are largely determined by genetics; both your skeletal structure and how your body stores fat influence the appearance of the lower body. The most frequent methods for enlarging and reshaping your buttocks are fat grafting using your own natural fatty tissue (popularly referred to as the Brazilian butt lift). Brazilian butt lift surgery can help overcome the effects of genetics by reshaping the buttocks and surrounding areas, such as the hips, lower back, and thighs.

Recovery
You can expect swelling, bruising and some pain after your procedure. You will have compression garments that will need to be worn for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. With a fat transfer to the buttocks, the primary goal is fat survival. Therefore, there will be sitting restrictions after surgery.
For three weeks following a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) surgery, you should avoid sitting down and putting direct pressure on your buttock. Dr. Jacobson may advise you to sit on soft pillows for two more weeks to reduce the weight on your butt. Most BBL patients can sit as usual four weeks after plastic surgery.
By following these instructions, you will give the fat cells the best chance of surviving and integrating into the blood supply, which will leave you with a more enhanced and contoured buttock as you enter the fluffing phase of your recovery.
