Who Is the Ideal Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

You try on your favorite pair of jeans, hoping they’ll hug your curves just right – but something’s missing. No matter how much you squat at the gym or adjust your outfit, you’re still not getting your desired shape.

Do you recognize this scenario? If so, buttocks augmentation with a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) could be the solution.

Dr. Maria Lombardo performs this procedure at Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery, which has served patients in Palm Springs since 2009. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate. This post breaks down what makes someone a good fit for a BBL.

Qualities of an Ideal BBL Candidate

While a Brazilian butt lift can provide long-lasting results, it’s important to determine if you meet the basic criteria. The best candidates include those who:

• Are in Good General Health: You should be in good physical condition without any underlying illnesses, such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases, that could affect healing.
• Have Sufficient Fat Reserves: A BBL uses your own fat for augmentation, so having excess fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs is necessary.
• Are at a Stable Weight: Significant weight fluctuations after surgery can impact outcomes. It’s best if you are at or near your goal weight.
• Have Realistic Expectations: While a BBL enhances shape and volume, results also depend on individual factors like fat retention and healing.
• Don’t Smoke or Are Willing to Quit: Smoking can interfere with circulation and recovery. For the best outcomes, patients should be non-smokers or willing to stop before and after the procedure.
• Can Follow Post-Operative Instructions: You must be able to allot several weeks to recovery. This includes avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for at least two weeks.

A consultation with an experienced surgeon like Dr. Lombardo can help you decide if a BBL is an appropriate choice for your body goals. She can assess your physique, discuss your objectives, and create a personalized treatment plan.
