What to expect before, during, and after the gluteoplasty surgery?
Before Surgery:
- You will have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns.
- Pre-surgery instructions may include avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
During Surgery:
- The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a JCI-accredited facility.
- For BBL: The surgeon harvests fat through liposuction, processes it, and carefully injects it into the buttocks.
- For implants: The surgeon makes incisions and places implants either above or below the gluteal muscle.
- The incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical tape.
After Surgery:
- You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which should gradually improve over the first few weeks.
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions on how to care for your incisions and manage any discomfort.
- Use prescribed medications and avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for 2-3 weeks.
- Full recovery can take several weeks to months, with results becoming apparent as the swelling subsides.
Recovery After Your Surgery
Your recovery happens in stages. Here’s what to expect:
First Week
You’ll either head home the same day or stay one night with us. The key is no sitting directly on your buttocks – you’ll need to lie on your stomach or side, or use a special BBL pillow. There’s definitely some discomfort, but we’ll give you pain medication to help. Wearing your compression garment is super important – it helps control swelling and helps everything heal in the right position.
Weeks 2-3
Most people feel ready to return to work now, using their special pillow when sitting. The initial soreness is improving, though you’ll still need to be careful with your positioning. The swelling starts going down, and you’re getting used to your new curves. Many patients say they’re surprised by how manageable recovery has been, even though you do need to plan around the sitting restriction.
Months 1-3
You’re getting back to your normal routine! Regular sitting gets more comfortable, and you can start easing back into exercise. Your results are becoming more visible as the swelling continues to decrease. If you had fat transfer, the surviving fat cells are settling into their permanent home, and your final shape is emerging.
Long-term Results
By 3 months, you’re seeing your final results – natural-looking curves that complement your body shape. The tiny scars continue fading, and most people tell us their clothes fit better than ever. Whether you chose implants or fat transfer, the results are designed to last, especially if you maintain a stable weight.
FAQs – Here we answer your common questions about Brazilian Butt Lift & Gluteoplasty
Find out more about how we make your BBL medical journey smooth and stress-free.
Brazilian Butt Lift uses your own fat harvested through liposuction and injected into the buttocks for natural results. Implants use silicone prostheses for more dramatic volume. BBL offers body contouring benefits while implants provide consistent projection.
Colombia offers the most experienced BBL surgeons with the lowest prices. Costa Rica provides excellent medical tourism infrastructure with mid-range pricing. Panama offers convenience with direct flights and affiliated US hospitals. All three countries have board-certified surgeons and JCI-accredited facilities.
Patients typically save 50-70% compared to US prices. While BBL in the US averages $8,000-$15,000, Latin American prices range from $2,500-$5,200 for all-inclusive packages including accommodation and aftercare.
Our partner clinics follow strict safety protocols including ultrasound-guided fat injection, proper patient positioning, and avoiding intramuscular injection. All surgeons are board-certified and facilities maintain international accreditation standards.
Packages typically include surgeon fees, facility costs, anesthesia, compression garments, pre/post-operative consultations, accommodations, airport transfers, and bilingual coordination. Some packages also include lymphatic massage sessions.
Pain levels vary, but most patients experience moderate discomfort that can be managed with prescribed pain medications. The first few days are typically the most uncomfortable, especially when sitting or lying on your back.
Gluteoplasty is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced board-certified surgeon in an accredited facility. As with any surgery, there are risks and potential complications, which should be discussed with your surgeon.
Many patients find gluteoplasty worth it due to the significant improvement in their appearance and self-esteem. The decision is personal and should be made after thorough consideration and consultation with a qualified surgeon.
Gluteoplasty involves incisions, but skilled surgeons place them in inconspicuous locations like the crease between the buttocks to minimize visible scarring. With proper care, scars usually fade over time and become barely noticeable.
The results of gluteoplasty can be long-lasting, typically many years, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Implants may need replacement after 10-15 years, while fat transfer results are permanent once the fat cells establish blood supply.
Gluteoplasty can enhance your body contour, improve your self-confidence, and provide a more balanced and proportionate appearance. Many patients report feeling more comfortable in clothing and more confident in social situations.
