A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can shape, firm, and round your butt for a perky, youthful appearance. If you’re considering a BBL, preparing adequately is essential to ensure the best possible results.

At Dr. A. J. Khalil’s practice in Beverly Hills, CA, our team is committed to providing you with all the information and support you need for a smooth procedure and recovery process. Dr. Khalil is a board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon with a reputation for gorgeous BBL results that complement natural anatomy.

As a recent winner of the Patients Choice Award and Compassionate Doctor Award, he understands the importance of helping patients prep for BBL to achieve the most natural and beautiful results.

Some of our best Brazilian butt lift prep tips are below.

Dos for Brazilian Butt Lift Prep

Some of the best ways to prep for a successful BBL include:

  • Maintain a Stable Weight: Maintain a steady eating and exercise plan, staying at or near the same weight before surgery. Major weight changes can affect the outcome of your BBL.
  • Follow Pre-Op Instructions: Dr. Khalil and our team provide specific instructions before your surgery. Follow these carefully, including guidelines about lifestyle, diet, and medications.
  • Stay Active: Regular exercise helps strengthen your body and improve circulation, facilitating faster healing.

Don’ts for Brazilian Butt Lift Prep

The list of don’ts before BBL can vary with each patient’s situation, but typical recommendations include avoiding:

  • Blood Thinners: Based on Dr. Khalil’s specific directions, you may need to discontinue blood-thinning medications temporarily. This minimizes the excessive bleeding risk during surgery.
  • Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for a minimum of a week before your BBL, as it can interfere with anesthesia and the healing process.
  • Smoking: Smoking can inhibit healing and increase the risk of complications. Quit smoking six weeks or more prior to your BBL.
  • Tight Clothing: Tight-fitting clothing, particularly on the lower body, is a no-no after surgery. Start transitioning to loose, comfortable pants to prep for your recovery.
  • Back Sleeping: After your BBL, you must avoid sleeping on your back, which can pressure the healing buttocks. Before surgery, transition to stomach sleeping so you’re already used to it when you start recovery.
