BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)

BBL recovery requires a delicate balance: draining the liposuction areas while protecting the transferred fat. Our protocol maximizes your graft survival and contour definition.

Focus areas

BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)

A Brazilian Butt Lift combines liposuction (often 360) with fat transfer to the buttocks. Recovery must address both: the lipo zones need drainage and fibrosis prevention, while the graft area must be treated with extreme care to avoid disturbing the transferred fat cells as they establish blood supply.

Focus areas

  • Drain lipo zones without disturbing graft site
  • Protect transferred fat areas
  • Progressive contour refinement

The 3 phases

Your recovery path

01

Phase 1: Inflammatory

Days 2-10

Gentle drainage focused exclusively on lipo zones. No contact with graft area. Lymph node activation to reduce generalized swelling.

Daily (first 7-10 days)
02

Phase 2: Organization

Weeks 2-4

Continue lipo zone drainage with ultrasound. Begin gentle graft-area support as cleared. Fibrosis prevention on treated zones.

3 sessions per week
03

Phase 3: Contouring

Week 4+

Full body contour refinement. RF and wood therapy on lipo zones. Shape definition and skin adherence work.

2 sessions per week

Your plan

Techniques used

Selective lymphatic drainage (lipo zones only)
Ganglion activation
Careful positional techniques
Ultrasound on lipo areas (Phase 2+)
Contour refinement (Phase 3)

Compression garment

Stage 1 and Stage 2 compression garments are essential. We guide you on when to transition and ensure proper fit throughout recovery.

Important notes

  • Avoid sitting directly on buttocks for the first 2-3 weeks
  • Graft area is not touched in the early phases
  • Lipo zone drainage is critical to prevent fibrosis
  • Follow your surgeon's sitting and sleeping guidelines strictly
