AÂ Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)Â can enhance your curves and boost your confidence, but achieving the best results starts well before your procedure. Proper preparation is a factor in ensuring a smooth surgery, easier recovery, and long-lasting outcomes. Here are some lifestyle changes to consider before your BBL.

Serving patients across Orange County, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and beyond, Dr. Miller and his team are dedicated to helping you feel confident, comfortable, and excited about your transformation.
Maintain a Healthy Diet
Your body needs the right nutrients to heal efficiently. Focus on lean protein, fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Protein helps with tissue repair, while vitamins and minerals support your immune system. Avoid crash diets, as your surgeon will need a sufficient amount of fat for the transfer. Stay hydrated to improve skin elasticity and recovery.
Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol
Nicotine restricts blood flow and slows down the healing process, which can negatively affect fat survival after a BBL. Most surgeons recommend quitting smoking at least four weeks before and after surgery. Alcohol should also be limited, as it can thin the blood and increase risks during surgery.
Reach and Maintain a Stable Weight
BBL results are most successful when your weight is steady. Significant weight fluctuations after surgery may impact your final shape. If you are considering losing weight, it’s best to do so before your procedure to ensure predictable, lasting results.
Exercise Wisely
Staying active before your surgery is beneficial for overall health and circulation. However, avoid overtraining or focusing only on glute exercises, as surgeons need fat from other areas of the body to achieve the best contouring effect. Moderate cardio and strength training are ideal in the weeks leading up to surgery.
Prepare Mentally and Practically
In addition to physical changes, plan for your recovery. Arrange time off work, organize a comfortable recovery space, and stock up on supplies like compression garments and pillows for sitting support. Mentally preparing for downtime will make the recovery process smoother and less stressful.
