Gluteal augmentation in the Brazilian style (Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL) is a body contouring plastic surgical procedure indicated for the enhancement of buttock volume, shape, and projection using autologous adipose tissue.

The procedure involves:

• Harvesting of fat from donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs.

• Processing and purification of the collected adipose tissue.

• Precise injection into the gluteal region.

This approach allows for:

• Improvement in buttock projection, contour, and symmetry.

• Simultaneous sculpting of donor areas.

Clinical effects include:

• Enhancement of body proportions and silhouette.

• Achievement of natural-looking results without the use of implants.

Treatment planning is individualized to ensure:

• Procedural safety and precision.

• Balanced and long-lasting outcomes.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) – Postoperative Recovery and Travel Recommendations

Following BBL or combined body contouring procedures, patients may experience:

• Significant postoperative edema and ecchymosis during the initial 2–3 weeks.

• Temporary limitation of mobility and daily activities.

Clinical course:

• Gradual improvement over time.

• Recovery requires enhanced caution due to prolonged immobility and increased discomfort.

Postoperative recommendations include:

• Remaining in the country for at least 14+ days following surgery.

• Avoidance of air travel and short-distance travel (up to 3 hours) during the initial 14-day period.

For extended travel:

• Journeys exceeding 4–6 hours should be postponed for at least 6 weeks.

• This recommendation is intended to reduce the risk of postoperative complications and ensure safe recovery.
