Brazilian Butt Lift
in Miami, FL

Pain management is a crucial aspect of a Brazilian Butt Lift journey. During the procedure, you’ll be under general anesthesia, ensuring you don’t feel any pain as the surgeon performs liposuction and fat transfer. However, post-surgery, it’s common to experience some discomfort, soreness, and swelling. The level of pain varies among individuals and depends on factors such as the amount of fat transferred and your personal pain tolerance.

To alleviate any post-operative pain we will prescribe pain medication and provide specific instructions on its use. You should also follow recommendations for wearing compression garments and avoiding sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for several weeks to protect the newly transferred fat. While some discomfort is expected, proper pain management ensures a smoother recovery, allowing you to enjoy the results of your BBL.

The journey of a Brazilian Butt Lift in Miami typically begins with a thorough consultation, followed by pre-operative assessments of our team, the actual BBL procedure, and multiple post-operative follow-up appointments to monitor your healing.

Some patients may opt for additional touch-up sessions to refine their results. The number and timing of these appointments will ultimately be determined at the discretion of Dr. Keyes. He will assess your recovery during each follow-up appointment and inform you of how he feels you are healing, when he would like to see you again, and when your final visit will be.

Results from a Brazilian Butt Lift in Miami are often visible immediately after the procedure, though some initial swelling is common. Over the following weeks and months, as swelling subsides and your body adjusts to the transferred fat, your buttocks’ final appearance will become more apparent.

Full and long-term results are typically noticeable around 3 to 6 months after surgery, allowing adequate time for healing and fat graft survival. Keep in mind that the exact timeline can vary from person to person.

Yes, wearing a compression garment is typically recommended after a Brazilian Butt Lift. The compression garment helps reduce swelling, provides support to the surgical areas, and promotes proper healing. Dr. Keyes will advise you on how long you should wear the garment and when it can be removed after your consultation.

To ensure the best results, you may be advised to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks following the surgery. This allows the transferred fat cells to establish a blood supply and improve their chances of survival.

Combining a Brazilian Butt Lift with other procedures is possible, and it often depends on your specific goals and Dr. Keyes recommendations. Some common procedures that are combined with a Brazilian Butt Lift from Celebrity Plastics include Tummy Tucks and Breast Augmentation. However, the combination of procedures should be discussed thoroughly with Dr. Keyes to ensure safety and optimal results.

Since a BBL is great for firming up the buttocks and providing increased volume levels but does NOT help tighten the skin, it is very common for our patients to add a non-invasive skin tightening treatment to their procedure. This helps maintains the butt’s firmness and volume while also creating a smoother and more attractive rear end.

Like any procedure that involves surgery, there are certain risks involved. The potential risks associated with a Brazilian Butt Lift can inlcude:

● Infection
● Bleeding
● Scarring
● Asymmetry
● Changes in skin sensation
● Fat embolism (fat particles entering the bloodstream)
● Seroma (accumulation of fluid under the skin)
● Nerve damage
● Unsatisfactory aesthetic results
● Anesthesia-related risks
● Blood clot formation
● Skin irregularities
● Wound healing issues

There have been certain studies indicating that the BBL procedure has a very high mortality rate (1 in 3,000 procedures) and is widely considered to be one of the deadliest cosmetic surgeries on the market. Dr. Keyes is a highly qualified surgeon with experience, attention to detail, and focus on patient care to provide successful surgical results, which is why he is so passionate about utilizing ultrasound technology when performing every Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, as mentioned above. By expertly employing this extra level of patient safety and his high patient satisfaction rate, Dr. Keyes has become a go-to surgeon for the BBL in Miami.
