Brazilian Butt Lift in Baltimore, MD

The recovery time varies by individual. You should be able to return to work in two to three weeks. Exercise can resume after six weeks.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. Any discomfort after your surgery can be managed with pain medication.

Throughout your Brazilian butt lift journey, you will see Dr. Rottman several times, beginning with a consultation. You will only need one day for your surgery, but you’ll return for several follow-ups afterward. These are necessary to check your recovery progress and healing.

At 4-6 weeks, the swelling will have subsided enough to begin to see your results. Results will continue to improve over the next several months as the final swelling subsides and the fat settles.

There will be minor scarring after a buttock lift procedure. Initially, the scars will be red but will fade in color over time. Around six months, your scars should be barely noticeable.

Patients should be able to sit comfortably on a pillow following surgery.

Quit smoking one month prior to surgery and stop taking blood-thinning medications as directed. Arrange for a friend or family member to help care for you during recovery.

Travel involves long periods of sitting, which must be avoided for several weeks. With Dr. Rottman’s approval, you can travel short distances after about 2 weeks if you sit on a pillow. You will go over specific travel guidelines with Dr. Rottman during your consultation and each subsequent check-in appointment, where he will show you how to sit without placing undue pressure on the buttocks.

As with most surgeries, there are risks. Complications can include infection at the incision site, fat embolism, or an adverse reaction to anesthesia.

Enhancing the appearance of your buttocks can significantly improve your body’s contour and proportion.  

Fat transfer, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, involves using your own fat to augment and reshape your buttocks. The procedure begins with liposuction, during which  Dr. Steven Rottman harvests fat from other areas of your body, such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs. This fat is then purified and transferred to the buttocks to create a fuller, more elevated appearance.

PROS

• Natural feel and look: Because the procedure uses your own body fat, the results tend to look and feel more natural than implants.
• Dual benefit: Fat transfer offers the added advantage of contouring areas where fat is harvested, creating a more sculpted overall appearance.
• Lower risk of rejection: The risk of your body rejecting the material is minimal since the fat used is your own.

CONS

• Variable absorption: Your body may resorb a significant portion of the transferred fat, leading to less predictable outcomes and possibly requiring additional treatments.
• Limited volume increase: There’s a limit to how much fat can be safely harvested and transferred, which might not suffice for patients desiring a significant increase in buttock size.
