Brazilian Butt Lift

This is probably the most common question that Dr. Rod receives during fat transfer to buttocks consultations. After all, it seems as though it would be almost impossible to rest and not sit down for 2 weeks straight. However, thousands of plastic surgery patients do it every year. Your solution may include a combination of lying on your stomach or side, sitting with specialty pillow provided by Dermacare propped up underneath your thighs so that you mimic the seated position without putting pressure on your buttocks, periods of standing, and sitting on your side.

Exercise should always be an important part of your daily routine, but when you’re recovering from a fat transfer to buttocks, you need to take a break. First, your body needs to heal from surgery. Second, you need to allow the transferred fat enough time to create a new blood supply in your buttocks. If you work out too soon after your procedure, it’s possible that you’ll burn that transferred fat away. Generally speaking, Dr. Rod recommends his fat transfer to buttocks patients in Phoenix wait 6 to 8 weeks before resuming their daily workout routines. However, this period could be shortened depending on how you heal after surgery

If you’re not at or very near your ideal weight, then you’re not a good candidate for this procedure, at least not now. The reason is that as you lose weight, you can’t tell your body where to lose it. If you have a fat transfer to buttocks and then lose a significant amount of weight in the future, you may inadvertently lose the transferred fat, thus returning to flatter looking buttocks you had in the first place. Dr. Rod typically requires his Phoenix patients to have been consistently at their goal weight for at least 6 months straight before undergoing this procedure.
