Due to genetics, age, lifestyle choices, and gravity, your buttocks may not look the same as they once did. While a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet can contribute to the shape and size of your buttocks, they may not give you the results you desire. If you want to remove fat from one area of your body and place it in another, you are in the right place. There is a surgical procedure that offers long-lasting results. At Kadz Plastic Surgery, we offer Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. This procedure removes unwanted fat from one area of your body and places it on your buttocks for a perky youthful lower region. If you want to know more about this highly effective surgery, give us a call to schedule a consultation. Alternatively, you can visit us in Beverly Hills, CA.  What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?  A Brazilian Butt Lift, or butt augmentation, is a surgical procedure that targets the shape, size, and alignment of your buttocks. This procedure provides butt contouring. The process involves removing fat from areas of concern, such as your lower back, thighs, hips, or abdomen with liposuction. That fat is then injected into your buttocks to give them lift and volume. This procedure achieves results without the use of implants and improves the proportions of your lower body. The results that you achieve are long-lasting and natural-looking.  We can also achieve a Brazilian Butt Lift with implants. This method is slightly less permanent than a fat transfer butt lift. However, we can also combine implants with fat grafting to achieve optimal results. Can I Have a BBL and Tummy Tuck Together?  Combining a tummy tuck with your BBL surgery is possible and highly effective. It may even be a better option since it takes place with only one surgical procedure. This also means there is one recovery period. It is beneficial to combine these two procedures as they target the mid to lower region of your body and offer an overall sculpted appearance.  Am I a Good Candidate For Brazilian Butt Lift?  Knowing more about a BBL can help you to understand what it can do for you, and it can help you to have more realistic expectations when considering the preparation, procedure, recovery, and results. When you come in for your initial consultation, we will discuss the entire process with you. We will review your medical history and current health condition. You will also undergo a physical examination to assess your areas of concern and discuss your desired outcome. With this information, we can determine your suitability for gluteal augmentation. However, you are likely a suitable candidate if the following applies to you:  You have a good skin tone on your buttocks and hips  You have enough excess fat in other areas of your body that can be used to inject into your butt You desire to alter the size and shape of your buttocks The Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift  A BBL, or butt augmentation, has much to offer. Here are just a few good reasons to schedule BBL surgery with us:  A butt augmentation can effectively address the loss of shape and sagging of your lower region due to genetics and gravity A Brazilian Butt Lift is a low-risk, high-reward surgical procedure A BBL offers a natural-looking, youthful appearance in your mid to lower region A Brazilian Butt Lift addresses the size and shape of your buttocks while removing fat from other areas of your body, giving your body an overall sculpted appearance BBL surgery can help you address figure imbalances BBL Before and After While your recovery phase may take a little getting used to, you will soon be able to enjoy the results of your BBL surgery. Results will be visible within 3-6 months. After the first three months, you will enter the fluffing stage of your recovery. During this phase, your skin will adjust to accommodate the new fat that was injected into your buttocks by softening and stretching. This process allows your results to look and feel more natural.  The Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery While combining a tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift has many advantages, such as only having one surgical procedure and one recovery, it comes with a few challenges of its own. We will help you through this process so that you can enjoy the results of your surgery as quickly as possible.  Sleep On Your Side One of the best ways to ease your recovery is knowing how to sleep. After having your BBL surgery and tummy tuck, you won’t be able to sleep on your back. While you may sleep comfortably on your stomach, it is recommended that you sleep on your side for about two weeks. After this period, you will be able to sit in a more comfortable position.  Use Supportive Pillows  Supportive pillows will help you to remain in the same position as you sleep. If you use pillows to make yourself more comfortable and stable, you will get a better night’s rest. You can use special supportive pillows or just regular pillows wedged in between your legs.  Schedule Your Brazilian Butt Lift Today  If you would like to remove excess fat and reshape your buttocks, a Brazilian Butt Lift is the perfect procedure for you.

Are you searching for a way to improve the appearance of your profile? Have you always wanted firmer, larger buttocks? Has age caused you to lose volume in your buttock region? All these concerns can be corrected with a Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL. Here at Kadz Plastic Surgery, we offer gluteal augmentation surgery for your benefit. What is a Brazilian Butt Lift? How long do the results last? These are all questions we will answer in this blog. You can be assured that we will disclose all the necessary information before you decide to have a Brazilian Butt Lift. Contact us to schedule your initial consultation so we can discuss your BBL surgery in Beverly Hills, CA. What is a Brazilian Butt Lift? A gluteal augmentation is more commonly referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift. It is a surgical procedure that can increase the size of your but while improving the contours and shape. We can either use butt lift implants or fat grafting to achieve these results. For some patients, we use both methods to help them reach their goals. Buttock implants are silicone-based and inserted deep into your buttock tissue. If we use fat grafting, we will transfer fat from a certain area to your buttocks. Fat grafting BBL surgery is especially beneficial if you would like to remove unwanted fat. This is also referred to as a 360 Brazilian Butt Lift. By using both BBL methods, we can get the best of both worlds and provide long-lasting results! What is a BBL Going to Achieve? A BBL can increase the size of your buttocks and enhance their shape by making them rounder. It can also improve the balance of your body and make your profile look more symmetrical. A butt augmentation is especially useful for boosting your confidence if you are self-conscious about the size of your buttocks. Perhaps significant weight loss has changed the size and shape of your buttocks. While the rest of your body looks toned and contoured, you may struggle to achieve the same goals for your butt.  Butt contouring is also beneficial for patients wanting to restore their youthful figure. As you age, your butt may develop loose skin, making it look saggy. A gluteal augmentation can improve the overall shape of your buttocks by lifting them. BBL surgery also improves the skin texture on your butt. It can effectively reduce the appearance of dimples and irregular skin surfaces. How Long Does A Brazilian Butt Lift Last? Since your weight increases and decreases, and your skin laxity changes as you age, can a BBL have permanent results?  It is normal to lose about 40% of the injected fat about two weeks after your Brazilian Butt Lift. That is why we overfill the site. So do not be alarmed if your buttocks look bigger than expected immediately after the procedure. Your buttocks will regenerate new fat cells within the next three to six months, and eventually, the size of your buttocks will become stable.  Brazilian Butt Lifts are semi-permanent procedures. Of course, results differ from patient to patient. For some patients, a Brazilian Butt Lift can last five years, and other patients enjoy their Brazilian Buttock Lift for over a decade. Most times, the results last longer than a decade and look the same as when you first had the BBL surgery. However, these results depend on how you maintain your buttocks after the procedure.  If your results wear off over a few years and your skin becomes loose, you can schedule a touch-up gluteal augmentation. During this procedure, we add more fat to your buttocks to maintain their shape and size.  Does the Brazilian Butt Lift Method Affect Your Results? As mentioned, we can achieve a Brazilian Butt Lift through implants or fat grafting. By following the right aftercare instructions, a fat transfer butt augmentation can offer permanent results.  On the other hand, buttock implants may need to be replaced every five to ten years. After this time, you may need more surgery to renew the results and maintain your curvy figure. Visit our online gallery to see the BBL before and after results. How Can You Make Your Results More Durable? There are important aftercare instructions to follow to maintain your results after a Brazilian Butt Lift. These instructions are especially applicable to patients who had a fat transfer Brazilian Butt Lift. The fat in your buttocks is more susceptible to change within the first six months. Here are a few ways to maximize your BBL results.  Keep Your Weight Steady You should already be at your ideal weight before your BBL surgery. Losing or gaining weight after your BBL will change the results and affect the durability. Try to maintain a constant body weight after your Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. You can do this by eating a balanced diet and participating in regular exercise. However, strenuous physical activity should be avoided for at least two months after your surgery. Wear Compression Garments We may recommend you wear compression clothing for about six weeks after your BBL surgery. This helps your buttocks to heal after the procedure and makes them tighter. Do Not Put Too Much Pressure on Your Buttocks Applying excessive pressure to your buttocks restricts blood flow and slows the healing process. It also affects the permanence of your results. Enjoy Long-Lasting Results From Your Brazilian Butt Lift At Kadz Plastic Surgery, we want you to enjoy your BBL before and after results. That is why we provide reliable instructions that help you maintain your results for many years after the procedure. Contact us today to schedule your BBL procedure!

While a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet can do a lot to keep your mid-area in shape, there may still be changes you wish to make. Due to age, genetics, and gravity, your buttocks may not look like they did many years ago. If you have ever wanted to take fat from one area of your body and magically place it in another, you need to read on.  At Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, we offer Brazilian buttock lifts. This procedure takes fat from one part of your body and moves it to your buttocks. Resulting in butt contouring. It is a highly effective surgical procedure that offers many benefits. If you would like to know more about this gluteal augmentation, give us a call to schedule a consultation. We will answer all your questions before, during, and after your procedure to ensure that you achieve the results you want with minimal downtime.  What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?  A Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, is a surgical procedure. The process involves transferring fat from an area of concern, such as your lower back, hips, thighs, or abdomen with liposuction. A portion of that fat is then injected into your buttocks.  A 360 Brazilian butt lift aims to augment the shape, size, and position of your buttocks by using your body’s fat. This process achieves results without the use of implants. BBL surgery can improve the proportions of your lower body by removing fat from desired areas and enhancing the appearance of your buttocks, offering long-lasting results.  Am I a Good Candidate For Brazilian Butt Lift?  It is important to have realistic expectations about the procedure, results, and recovery of butt augmentation. When you schedule a consultation with us, we will discuss the process with you. This will ensure that you understand what BBL surgery is, and what it can do for you. During your consultation, we will also review your medical history and assess your current health condition. Although certain people are more suitable for a Brazilian butt lift, you are likely a good candidate for the procedure. Here are a few points to note when considering butt contouring.  You have enough fat in other areas of your body that can be used to inject into your buttocks. You have a good skin tone on your buttocks and hips area.  You desire to change the shape and size of your mid-area without using unnatural implants. The Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift A butt augmentation or gluteal augmentation offers many benefits. Here are just a few to note:  Unlike alternative forms of buttock surgery, a Brazilian butt lift offers natural-looking results.  BBL surgery does not use implants to reshape and resize your butt.  BBL can address the loss of shape and sagging of your buttocks.  The procedure is a low-risk and high reward when compared to alternative solutions.  If you are concerned with figure imbalances, butt augmentation can help you correct these areas.  A 360 Brazilian butt lift not only addresses the shape and size of your buttocks, but also the areas where fat is removed from, contouring your entire mid-area.  BBL Before and After  The final results achieved with BBL surgery will be visible within 3-6 months after your surgery. After three months, you will enter the fluffing stage. During this time, your skin will soften and stretch to accommodate the new fat. This allows the results to look and feel natural. These results can be enjoyed for years to come.  The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure Even though a Brazilian butt lift offers so much, it is a simple procedure to understand. There are three basic phases that are involved.  Firstly, excess fat gets removed from your areas of concern, such as your abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs, with liposuction. A portion of the fat that has been extracted is purified and prepared for the injection phase.  The fat is then injected into particular areas of your buttocks to alter their shape and size. We use general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia during the procedure. A Brazilian butt lift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure.  The Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery After having a Brazilian butt lift, you will need to take certain precautions. This will ensure you gain the results that you desire as quickly as possible. These precautions will also prevent unnecessary discomfort.  It is recommended that you do not sit or lie directly on your buttocks for about two weeks. During your recovery time, you will need to sleep on your stomach or side. After this initial period, you will be able to sit in a modified position. A donut seat or placing a pillow under your thighs will avoid putting unnecessary pressure on your buttocks. You will be able to sit in a normal position about eight weeks after your BBL surgery. You should be able to resume some daily activities within a week after your surgery and return to work within two weeks.  A Brazilian Butt Lift For You If you would like to change the shape and size of your buttocks without using implants, you should consider a Brazilian butt lift. This procedure offers long-lasting results. It not only shapes and lifts your buttocks by adding volume but contours your mid-area by removing fat. At Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, we offer butt augmentation. If you would like to know more about this procedure, give us a call!

The most prominent feature of your face is your nose. If you are unhappy with the shape or size of your nose, it can be a nagging concern. Additionally, you may suffer from breathing problems because of a deviated septum. You don’t have to live with discomfort or a lack of confidence anymore.

It aims to change the appearance and structure of your nose. There are many reasons for wanting this change, such as age and injury. Nasal surgery does not only target the appearance of your nose. If you are living with a deviated septum, you likely have breathing problems. Rhinoplasty can assist by correcting this issue. This advanced procedure has much to offer.  What is Revision Rhinoplasty? During your initial consultation, we will discuss your desired goals, review your medical history, and assess your current health situation. Because one rhinoplasty procedure may not be enough to give you the results you want, we may also perform a revision rhinoplasty procedure if you want to change the size and shape of your nose. This will ensure that you gain the results that you desire. If you understand what a nose job can do for you, you can have realistic goals.  What Can Rhinoplasty Do For Me?  Rhinoplasty surgery can do more than just nose reshaping. It can also address breathing problems. There is much more to benefit from when you have a nose job.

Wide nostrils can be reshaped into a narrow, more desirable shape. You can alter the structure of your nose for aesthetic or health reasons.  Rhinoplasty can address large flaring nostrils.  If you are not happy with the appearance of your nose due to an accident, injury, or surgery, a nose job can help you correct the damage.  The Rhinoplasty Procedure We care about your needs and concerns.

Once we are all happy with this process, we can agree on a date for your surgery. Closed Rhinoplasty Surgery  Many different techniques are used during a rhinoplasty procedure. The reason for using a particular rhinoplasty technique depends on the individual needs of a patient. We will determine which rhinoplasty technique is best suited for you. One particular approach is called closed rhinoplasty surgery. During your procedure, a small incision is made inside your nose. The result of this incision will not leave any visible scarring.  Am I a Suitable Candidate For Rhinoplasty Surgery? Each of our needs will differ when it comes to rhinoplasty. The results achieved will also differ from one person to the next. When you consider a nose job, there are a few things that must be taken into consideration. These factors will contribute towards the results you gain and the suitability for this procedure:  Your age.  The current structure of your nose.  The shape of your face.  The thickness of your skin.  By using this information along with your medical information and desired goals, we can design a treatment plan suited specifically for you. Resulting in long-lasting optimal results.  Rhinoplasty Recovery  An aspect that you can benefit from when having a nose job is that the procedure does not require much downtime. You will need about two to three weeks to recover before you go back to your normal daily activities, such as going back to work and exercising. The results that are gained will become visible gradually. Patients can expect to see drastic results a few months after their rhinoplasty surgery. You can have your stitches removed 7 days after the surgery. Bruising will also subside about 10 days after your procedure. The results that are achieved with nose augmentation are long-lasting.  Rhinoplasty Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA A nose job can correct aesthetic and health concerns.

Losing a lot of weight is a major achievement. Unfortunately, many people don’t experience the results they desire after reaching their target weight because their skin is loose, and their muscles have separated. At Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, we offer weight loss surgery to help people shed the last few pounds and finally achieve their perfect body shape. How Long Is Recovery After Weight Loss Surgery? Because each person’s treatment is tailored to their individual needs, it’s hard to come up with a definitive timeline. Some people only have small amounts of loose skin in their abdominal area, and they need a mini tummy tuck. Others want us to tighten the whole stomach area, the thighs, the buttocks, and even the arms. This type of operation is more complicated, so it takes longer to recover from. Generally, you can expect to spend at least six to eight weeks recovering after your procedure. If you have a desk job, you might be able to return to work after a week or two. However, people whose job involves strenuous physical activity need to take one to two months off. During the recovery period, patients have to stick to gentle exercise and follow the surgeon’s orders. What To Do During Recovery It’s important not to rush the recovery period because this could lead to inferior results. Before you schedule your surgery, make sure you can take off enough time afterward. Speak to your boss or supervisor about the time you’ll need, arrange childcare for at least a week, and complete any strenuous tasks like cleaning and DIY before the operation. Your surgeon will let you know how long to rest after your operation. You might have to visit the clinic several times, so we can check how well you’re recovering. In the beginning, you have to sleep in a raised position and wear a compression garment. Maintaining a healthy diet speeds up the recovery process and helps you to stay in great shape. Avoid Strenuous Exercise  During your weight loss journey, you might have exercised many hours a week. Unfortunately, you can’t keep up with your routine for several weeks after surgery. Most patients have to rest for at least six weeks because their bodies need time to heal and adjust to the new shape. During this time, patients can do stretching exercises and gentle movements, but nothing that makes them sweat or puts pressure on the treatment areas. Circulation is very important in the first few days because it speeds up the healing process. That’s why we almost always recommend that patients take slow walks around their rooms or homes. Over time, the speed and duration of these walks can be increased, and other forms of exercise can be reintroduced. Wear Your Compression Garment  After your surgery, we’ll give you a compression garment. Wear this every day for at least six weeks, especially if you’ve had a tummy tuck. The garment supports your treatment area, prevents a buildup of fluids, and keeps the blood moving through your body. It also helps you to achieve the best results possible. If you fail to wear your compression garment, your tissues might shift and sag, so you have to come back for another treatment. Sleep in a Raised Position  The optimal sleeping position depends on the kind of surgery you’ve had and where your treatment area is located. The first few nights, you might need to sleep on an incline, with bent knees because this position reduces pressure and keeps your blood moving through your body. Before surgery, we’ll discuss your sleeping position and make sure you have the necessary tools. You might need special cushions or a reclining chair. Eat a Healthy Diet Your diet affects the success of the surgery and the speed of the healing process. Eat healthy foods that provide your body with the nutrients it needs. Vitamins A and C are particularly important because they help with cell division, protect the cells against free radicals and other dangerous substances, and boost the immune system. Some great foods that include these nutrients are strawberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, leafy green vegetables, and eggs. If you have trouble eating a healthy diet, consider using supplements. A multivitamin is always a good choice, but you might need something more specific if you have a deficiency. We recommend that you take probiotics to help with your digestion during the recovery process. Phosphorus is another vital substance for tissue repair, and it is abundant in leafy green vegetables, nuts and seeds, and dairy products. Are the Results Permanent?  As you can see, it takes some time for patients to recover from weight loss surgery. However, the six-week recovery period is worth it for many people because the results of the operation are considered permanent. Once the excess tissue has been removed and the muscles have been reshaped, it’s unlikely that the patient will experience more issues unless they gain back the weight they’ve lost. Keeping the Results Fresh There’s a lot you can do to maintain your results. After the surgery, follow all our guidelines, and lead a healthy lifestyle that involves providing your body with vital nutrients, exercising regularly, and minimizing your stress levels. If you’ve already worked hard to lose a lot of weight, you understand how to live healthily and prevent weight gain. What Happens During Surgery? When you first come to the clinic, we speak to you about your weight loss journey and how it has affected your body. We have a look at your tissues to determine which of our surgeries are most appropriate. Some people get a total body makeover, while others simply need a tummy tuck or a breast lift to achieve their desired post-weight loss shape. Most operations take around two to five hours, and the patient has to stay in the clinic for a few hours or even overnight. The surgeon anesthetizes the tissues, then cuts away any excess fat and skin. They might reshape the muscles if they aren’t in the right place. Then, they carefully close the incision sites. Only around four pounds of tissue can safely be removed at a time. Preparing for the Operation  Make sure you’ve carefully planned the days after your surgery. Determine who will drive you home from the clinic and stay with you for two days afterward. Discuss access to meals with your family or friends. It might be easiest to order food from restaurants and grocery delivery services in your area. However, you can also prepare and freeze meals ahead of time. We’ll give you a list of drugs, supplements, and foods you can’t eat in the week leading up to your surgery. Anything that thins the blood needs to be avoided. You’ll also have to stop smoking and drinking large quantities of alcohol because these substances can make the recovery process more difficult. If you take medication for another condition, we’ll determine whether it’s safe for you to keep doing so or whether your drugs need to be adjusted. Who Is a Good Candidate?  Our surgical interventions aren’t meant to replace a comprehensive weight loss program. During the operation, only small amounts of fat can be removed from the body. Patients still have to use holistic methods like dietary changes and regular exercise to achieve their weight loss goals. Once their BMI is in the normal range and they are happy with their weight, they can come to the clinic and get surgery. We always check the person’s medical records, list of allergies, and list of medications to determine whether a body makeover is safe. We also ask patients about their experiences and whether they’ve ever had plastic surgery before. Willingness To Maintain Weight One of the most important criteria is whether someone is willing and able to maintain their current weight. Before booking you in for surgery, we speak to you about your weight loss journey and your current habits to make sure you’re dedicated to the process. If necessary, we recommend working with personal trainers or nutritionists. Achieve Your Perfect Shape Now Weight loss surgery is the perfect treatment for people who have achieved or are close to their target weight, but aren’t seeing the excellent results they expected due to loose skin and separated muscles. It takes about six to eight weeks to recover from the procedure, but the results are considered permanent. Send us a message or give us a call at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA to find out whether you can take part in weight loss treatment. 

Are you looking for a way to naturally redefine the volume of your buttocks? If so, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) may be an excellent choice for you. At Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, we specialize in performing butt lift procedures, and our team can help you get the shapely silhouette you’ve been dreaming of! But how long can you expect the effects of your procedure to last? How Long Does a BBL Last? A Brazilian butt lift procedure involves taking excess fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the buttocks. The process typically begins with liposuction on areas of the body where there is excess fat, such as the thighs and abdomen. The harvested fat cells are then purified and processed before they are injected into specific locations in the buttock area. There are several factors that affect how long your results will last. First, it’s crucial to understand that fat cells are not static; they can change in size over time. So, if you gain weight after your BBL surgery, the fat cells that were injected into your buttocks may increase in size. On the other hand, if you lose weight, those same fat cells may shrink. Therefore, if you want to maintain the results of your butt lift procedure, it’s crucial to maintain a good body-to-weight ratio. 5 Helpful Tips for Maintaining Your BBL Results 1. Avoid Wearing Restrictive Clothing During the Recovery Period Your recovery period is of the utmost importance because it is during this period that your body works through the healing process. Wearing tight clothing can put extra stress on the buttocks and interrupt proper blood flow and lymphatic drainage, potentially leading to a poor outcome. Generally, you should expect the recovery period to last around four weeks. This is when it’s crucial to wear loose, comfortable clothing made from natural materials like cotton. These types of clothing leave plenty of space for movement around the buttocks and will significantly help in facilitating the healing process. 2. Avoid Applying Direct Pressure to the Transferred Fat Cells Grafted fat cells need time to grow their own blood supply. Just like any other living tissue, fat cells require a network of nerves for communication with the brain and a regular supply of blood for nourishment. Applying direct pressure on these fats can potentially hinder them from successfully integrating into your body. Examples of direct pressure can be rubbing or massaging around the treated area, applying pressure while sleeping, or even applying heat or cold therapy near the treated area. For those who are active and work out often, we would recommend doing light activity for two to three weeks following surgery to help maintain your butt lift results. 3. Avoid Smoking Smoking is an important factor to take into account for anyone considering a Brazilian butt lift procedure. Cigarettes contain a long list of harmful substances like carbon monoxide, nicotine, benzene, and even formaldehyde. Nicotine, among these chemicals, affects cardiovascular health by raising blood pressure and increasing strain on your heart. Furthermore, nicotine causes vasoconstriction of the blood vessels, which restricts the revascularization of grafted fat. This means that it will be harder for the transplanted fat to form its own blood supply, causing some of the fat cells to eventually die. Ideally, keeping your blood pressure within a healthy range (less than 120/80 mm Hg) before and after the procedure will help achieve the best results with the fat grafting process. 4. Maintain a Stable Weight As we mentioned before, fat cells have the capacity to expand or shrink, which means that if you start to fluctuate your weight after a BBL, it can distort the results of your procedure. Therefore, if you want to maintain your desired results, it’s crucial to ensure that you keep up a stable weight. 5. Eat a Well-Balanced Diet Eating a well-balanced diet after your BBL is a crucial part of the recovery process, as this helps your body heal faster and allows you to enjoy your new figure sooner. Eating a balanced diet will also help you maintain a healthy body-to-weight ratio, which is key for keeping the results achieved through your Brazilian butt lift treatment. Here are some of the food groups you should include in your diet: Proteins Proteins are responsible for muscle build and repair, hormone synthesis, and even serve as an energy source. All of these are especially important for people who have recently gone through surgery. Eating a balanced diet that includes proteins will help provide the building blocks for tissue regeneration, quicker wound healing, improved immunity, increased red blood cells production, and an increased rate of physical recovery. Vitamins Some vitamins act as antioxidants, scavenging free radicals which are responsible for inhibiting tissue repair. Additionally, vitamins govern various biochemical activities required for proper immune system functioning and, therefore, can assist in avoiding illnesses during recovery. Healing processes also require the activity of various enzymes that must be activated by vitamins. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy, and play a vital role in metabolism for cell functioning, cognition, and physical performance. When you’re recovering from surgery, your body needs extra energy to help repair itself, maintain organ function, and fight infection. Furthermore, consuming more carbs during the postoperative period can increase the concentration of growth hormone and C-peptide, both of which have anti-inflammatory properties. Minerals Our bodies require certain minerals to ensure optimal healing, such as iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium. Iron helps to create healthy red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body, while zinc helps speed up wound healing and maintains cell growth. Copper assists with collagen development and tissue repair. Additionally, magnesium ensures the nervous system functions normally by stabilizing nerve transmissions and muscle contractions. A mineral-rich diet provides our bodies with the necessary building blocks needed for an expedited recovery post-surgery. Water Water helps to flush out toxins and waste materials, regulate body temperature, and transport valuable nutrients throughout the body. When recovering from surgery, it’s especially important to ensure you get enough fluids as dehydration can slow wound healing and increase the risk of infection. Drinking lots of water also supports regular digestion, allowing for better absorption of vitamins and minerals that are essential for optimal healing. Consultation Attending a butt lift consultation is the first step to achieving your body goals. During this appointment, Dr. Bruce Kadz will assess your health and medical history, as well as any medicine you might be currently taking. Additionally, we’ll answer any questions that you may have regarding the procedure, explaining to you the specifics of how it is done. Dr. Kadz will also show you before and after photos of similar operations that he has carried out over the years. Finally, if you’re ready to move forward with the treatment, we’ll schedule an appointment for the operation and provide instructions on how to prepare for a successful butt lift surgery. These instructions typically include guidelines such as avoiding certain kinds of medications, quitting smoking, and following a healthy diet. Who Is a Good Candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift? If you’re eager to redefine the contours and volume of your posterior region, you may be an ideal candidate for a Brazilian butt lift. A good prospect should also have healthy blood pressure levels and other markers of good health. Note that if you don’t have enough fat to transfer, and are seeking dramatic changes, then augmentation with implants might be the best option for you. Can Your Body Reject a Brazilian Butt Lift? The answer is no. This procedure uses your own fat, which is harvested from areas such as your abdomen and thighs, and then injected into your buttocks. The fat cells must be properly prepared before re-injection or they may not survive. However, as long as the healthcare provider uses best practices when performing the procedure, there should not be any issues with a person’s body rejecting their own fat.
