Brazilian Butt Lift

Most BBL patients experience soreness and tightness rather than sharp pain. Discomfort is typically related to the liposuction areas and is most noticeable in the first few days. This is manageable with medication and improves steadily as you heal.

You can expect a consultation, your procedure, and several follow-up visits. These follow-ups are important for monitoring healing, assessing fat retention, and ensuring your results are progressing as expected.

You will notice an immediate improvement in shape, but swelling will temporarily affect your appearance. Over the next several weeks, swelling decreases and your contour becomes more defined. Final results continue to develop over a few months as the transferred fat stabilizes.

Short trips may be possible within one to two weeks, depending on how you are healing. Since sitting directly on the buttocks is limited early on, travel plans should be made carefully. Longer trips or flights should be discussed with Dr. Conkright during your consultation to ensure proper timing and comfort.

Risks with a BBL may include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, fat reabsorption, contour irregularities, and swelling. There are also important safety considerations specific to fat transfer procedures, which is why technique and surgeon experience are critical.

At Conkright Aesthetics in Evansville, IN, procedures may be performed in-office under local anesthesia, also known as “awake” surgery, which can reduce certain risks associated with general anesthesia in appropriate candidates.
