As Brazilian butt lift procedures are highly customizable, the cost depends on each patient’s needs. Dr. Zinsser will provide an estimate for a more accurate Brazilian butt lift cost in Richmond, VA, during your consultation.

During your buttock augmentation procedure, you will be under anesthesia, so you should not feel discomfort. Be sure to address all pain concerns with Dr. Zinsser during your consultation.

Typically, patients should avoid any strenuous exercises for four to six weeks following a buttock augmentation procedure.

Typically, BBL patients take at least one to two weeks off work. During your recovery, you will need to wear an appropriate compression garment and avoid sitting, laying on your backside, or buttocks for two weeks.

After a BBL, putting pressure on the newly placed fat grafts can reduce circulation, which can damage the transferred fat cells. You will need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for two weeks, except on the toilet. Instead, you must sit on a rolled-up towel, small cushion, or specially designed BBL pillow. Most patients can return to sitting normally four weeks after their BBL procedure.

Fat necrosis, or death of the fat cells, is the most common complication following BBL. This condition occurs when the transplanted cells do not establish an adequate blood supply. It can result in small, hard lumps or nodules under the skin. Often, these are harmless; however, they can become painful or uncomfortable. In most cases, the body will break down the fat nodules over time without further intervention.

To avoid fat necrosis following your BBL, be sure to thoroughly follow Dr. Zinsser’s post-operative instructions. These may include avoiding wearing overly tight or restrictive clothing, avoiding strenuous exercise, and wearing your compression garment to support your contours.

Brazilian butt lift results are permanent. However, the transplanted fat will behave like any other fat on your body, responding to weight fluctuations. You must be at or near your ideal weight before your BBL.

Dramatic weight loss or gain after a BBL can significantly impact your new look. Maintain your results by continuing the healthy diet and exercise habits you established before getting your BBL.

Since the BBL procedure removes fat from an undesirable location and grafts it into the buttocks, it redistributes your weight instead of helping you shed pounds. However, with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Zinsser, the liposuction procedure will sculpt improved contours in specific areas, such as the abdomen, back, and flanks, enhancing your overall figure.
