Brazilian Butt Lift Brisbane

What Does BBL Mean In Surgery?

BBL is an abbreviation for Brazilian butt lift, a buttock augmentation procedure. During this type of cosmetic surgery, the surgeon first removes excess fat from a certain area of the body. The volume of fat is first purified and then transferred to the buttocks. So, this kind of cosmetic procedure can alter the shape and size of the buttocks.

A BBL procedure can be done under a local anaesthetic or a general anaesthetic. The type of anaesthetic used is subject to the complexity of the procedure. Sometimes, the procedure can be executed at the same time as another procedure, which can influence the choice of anaesthetic during fat grafting.

What To Do Before BBL Surgery?

Patients can do certain things before surgical procedures such as BBL, which can reduce recovery time as well as reduce the chance of complications during the surgery.

Dr Lanzer recommends avoiding sunbathing for at least two weeks before the procedure. Patients should also stop smoking several weeks before the procedure. Smoking can increase your chances of infection and can slow down the healing process after a BBL.

Patients should also avoid the use of certain medications before their surgery. Medications that should be avoided include any medications with a blood thinning effect such as aspirin. Patients should also refrain from taking herbal supplements and vitamin E. Any medications taken by the patient should be reported to the cosmetic surgeon.

What Do You Need After BBL Surgery?

If the patient had a general anaesthetic, the patient must take the time to let the anaesthetic wear out post-surgery. Do not take any important decisions for at least 48 hours and do not sign any legal documents.

Patients should also wear a compression garment after their surgery. The compression garment reduces some of the swellings and helps the buttocks conform to their new shape.

It is also important for patients to stay properly hydrated after their procedure. Drinking plenty of water is usually the recommended choice, but patients could benefit from certain sports drinks with extra electrolytes.

Patients can also use some protective sheets or towels on their bed during the first two days after surgery. Some minor oozing from the incisions after liposuction is not uncommon, so this will eliminate some of the maintenance involved and allows you to focus on your recovery.

The Dr Lanzer Clinic will provide patients with detailed information on how to look after their incision sites post-surgery. Patients must take care of these areas daily to avoid complications down the line. They must also attend any follow-up appointments requested by their cosmetic surgeon.

Evidently, it is important not to smoke after the procedure. Smoking can slow down the healing process and cause infection, even after your surgery.

Patients should also avoid using any medications containing aspirin after their surgery, just like before their procedure. Dr Lanzer and his associates can advise you on over-the-counter pain medication that can be used during your recovery.

It is also important to avoid direct contact with sunlight, especially for the incisions after liposuction. The incisions are sensitive, and complications can be caused by contact with direct sunlight. If you do intend on being in the sun, make sure you use a suitable sunscreen, even in the colder months.

The cosmetic surgeon can also prescribe some preventative antibiotics to some patients. These antibiotics are prescribed to patients who are more prone to potential infections after their surgery, but in some cases, they are simply used to prevent infection from occurring even if the patient is not susceptible to infection. Your cosmetic surgeon may also request that you apply a special ointment to the incision sites. The ointment will protect the area, keep it clean, but also promote the overall healing process.

If you have any questions about recovery before the procedure, do not hesitate to contact the Dr Lanzer Clinic for more information. Patients can also find additional info about the recovery process on other information pages on the website. If you cannot find an answer to your question, do not hesitate to contact us.

Is BBL long lasting?

The effects of BBL are long lasting. During the first three to six months after BBL, patients will experience a little loss of volume in the buttocks. It is quite normal for some fat to be lost within the first few months after the procedure.

It is important for patients to keep a healthy weight after their procedure. Any serious weight fluctuations after the procedure could influence the results obtained from BBL.
