10 Year Timeline for BBL
We’ve also provided a timeline of what you might expect to see in the years following your BBL:
1. BBL After 1 Year
Generally, after one year of the BBL procedure, patients can expect to see a significant improvement in the shape and size of their buttocks. However, the final results of the procedure may take up to six months to a year to fully manifest. The body goes through a healing process during this time and the swelling gradually subsides.
During the first few weeks after the surgery, patients may experience some swelling and bruising in the treated area. This is a normal part of the healing process and can be managed with pain medication, compression garments, and rest. Patients should avoid strenuous activities, such as exercise or heavy lifting, during this time to ensure that their body has the chance to heal properly.
Over the following months, patients will see a gradual reduction in swelling and a more defined shape to their buttocks. However, it’s important to note that the final results of the procedure may not be visible for up to a year after the surgery. During this time, the body is adjusting to the changes made and the transferred fat is integrating with the surrounding tissues.
2. BBL After 2 Years
Two years post-BBL surgery, patients can expect to see more natural-looking results. The buttocks will have fully healed, and the body will have adjusted to the new shape. Any residual swelling or bruising should have disappeared, and the skin should have settled around the new contour.
By this point, patients can typically resume their regular exercise routine, including activities that may have been restricted during the initial post-operative period, such as vigorous exercise or heavy lifting. This can help to maintain the results of the surgery and further enhance the appearance of the buttocks. However, patients should still take care to avoid sitting for long periods and follow a healthy lifestyle to ensure the longevity of the results.
3. BBL After 5 Years
After five years, the BBL results will have matured. Patients can still expect to see a significant improvement in the shape and size of their buttocks. Patients who have taken good care of their body, maintained a healthy weight, and followed the post-operative instructions of their surgeon can expect their results to have remained stable and long-lasting.
4. BBL After 10 Years
After ten years, the results of a BBL may have started to diminish, particularly if patients have not taken good care of their body or have experienced significant weight fluctuations. However, patients who have maintained a healthy lifestyle and followed their surgeon’s post-operative instructions can still expect to see significant improvement in the shape and size of their buttocks. Additionally, it is important for patients to regularly check in with their surgeon to monitor the results of the procedure and identify any potential issues that may arise over time. Depending on the individual case, touch-up or revision procedures may be recommended to maintain or enhance the appearance of the buttocks. It is also important to note that the longevity of the BBL results may vary depending on the technique used, the amount of fat transferred, and the individual patient’s body type and genetics.
6 Steps to Maintain Your Korean BBL Results Over 10 Years
To reduce the risks associated with BBL surgery after 10 years, it’s important to take steps to maintain the results of the procedure while minimizing potential complications. Here are some tips from Lydian to help improve the longevity of your BBL results after 10 years:
1. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial not just for the success of the BBL procedure but for overall health and well-being. Patients who have undergone the BBL surgery are encouraged to maintain a stable and healthy weight to avoid any significant changes in the transferred fat cells. Significant weight gain or loss can affect the transferred fat cells, leading to asymmetry or an unnatural appearance of the buttocks.
A balanced diet with nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean protein supports overall and skin health. Adequate hydration maintains skin elasticity. Healthy eating and regular exercise promote blood flow to the buttocks, crucial for the longevity of transferred fat cells. Smoking restricts blood flow, causing potential damage to the transferred fat cells and affecting the buttocks’ appearance. Patients are advised to avoid smoking for better results. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle should be a lifelong commitment to minimize complications and ensure lasting BBL results.
2. Avoid Sitting for Extended Periods
Sitting for extended periods of time is a common activity that can significantly impact the results of a BBL procedure. When pressure is applied to the buttocks, it can cause the transferred fat cells to shift, leading to an unnatural appearance. This can be particularly problematic for individuals who work desk jobs that require them to sit for long periods. It is important to take measures to reduce pressure on the buttocks to maintain the BBL results.
If you must sit for long periods after a BBL, use a cushion or pillow to evenly distribute weight and reduce pressure on the buttocks. This helps prevent fat cells from shifting and maintains the buttocks’ shape. Specialized cushions for post-BBL patients are available. Avoid sitting on hard surfaces directly on the buttocks. Take frequent breaks to stand, stretch, or move around to reduce pressure and improve blood flow, promoting the longevity of the transferred fat cells and reducing the risk of complications.
3. Follow Post-operative Instructions
Following post-operative instructions from the surgeon is critical in ensuring successful healing after a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. The recovery process after BBL is delicate and requires careful attention to detail to minimize the risk of complications and ensure optimal results. The surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to take care of yourself following the procedure, and it is essential to adhere to them strictly.
Some of the instructions may include avoiding certain activities, such as exercise or lifting heavy objects, for a specified period. This is because these activities can put pressure on the buttocks, causing damage to the transferred fat cells and affecting the results.
4. Schedule Regular Follow-up Appointments
Regular follow-up appointments after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are essential for maintaining results and addressing complications. These visits allow the surgeon to monitor healing and make necessary adjustments. During these appointments, the surgeon examines the treated area, assesses healing progress, and may conduct tests to check fat cell integration. Issues can be identified early and treated promptly. Patients should attend follow-ups at least every six months, or as recommended by the surgeon. For distant or overseas surgeons, arrange virtual follow-ups via Zoom or email photos of the procedure area.
5. Consider additional procedures
While BBL results can be long-lasting, factors like aging, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle habits can change the buttocks’ appearance. Additional procedures, such as touch-ups or revisions, can help maintain or enhance the shape. Touch-ups add more fat to improve contour, while revisions may remove excess fat or adjust its placement. Skin tightening procedures, like radiofrequency or laser treatments, can address sagging skin due to aging.
Fat transfer can restore volume and shape if the transferred fat dissipates over time. Always consult a qualified surgeon before considering additional procedures to assess the buttocks’ condition and recommend the best options. They can also advise on the timing and potential risks.
6. Choose a qualified and experienced surgeon
Choose a surgeon with extensive experience and a solid reputation in performing BBL surgeries, such as Dr. An. Look for a surgeon who uses proprietary techniques unique to the clinic, like the specialized cannula used in BBL surgery, and who can prescribe an effective post-op lifestyle. This can help minimize the risk of complications and improve the chances of achieving the desired results.
The most common question that people have about BBL is whether the results will last. The good news is that, with proper care and maintenance, BBL results can last for many years. At Lydian Plastic Surgery in Seoul, we have seen patients who have had BBLs 10 years ago and are still happy with their results.
