You may have already heard that there are a few critical restrictions to deal with while healing. The primary one is the avoidance of sitting. That’s because a Brazilian Butt Lift works by removing fat cells from one area of the body and injecting the purified fat stem cells into the buttocks. The plastic surgeon artfully sculpts you a new, curvy, round bottom, but it takes many weeks for those cells to take hold safely. Until established with their own blood supply and thriving in their position, you can’t risk compressing, damaging and destroying the fat.

Though there’s no right answer when it comes to timing a cosmetic procedure, you’ll need to consider what’s convenient for your schedule. Some people find it challenging to heal comfortably and patiently during the hotter, summer months. On the other hand, many people schedule time off work for vacations during the summer, and when school is out, students book the treatments they’ve been thinking of all year.

After a Brazilian Butt Lift in Miami, you’ll have to wear a tight compression garment for 4 – 6 weeks. This helps to smooth contours and limit the amount of swelling you have. The coverage will be from your waist to the knees so it might be hard to hide under typical light summer clothing.

If you schedule a procedure in the spring or summer, keep in mind that you won’t be sitting on a patio, hiking, biking, running, swimming in the pool or at the beach…all for many weeks. If you like the idea of laying on a comfy lounger with a good book or watching TV, sipping smoothies in the summer breeze, you can enjoy your time off. However, if you plan to be quite active on your summer break, this won’t be the best time for a butt lift.
