Dr. Grawe shares what to expect during the BBL fluffing stage after a Brazilian Butt Lift

It’s no secret that everyone is currently all about the booty. From the Kardashians to Cardi B, to posting selfies on Instagram, having a shapely backside is in.

But how is everyone getting this snatched waist and big rump? By getting a Brazilian Butt Lift!

One of the best parts about getting a BBL is that you look amazing in clothing right away!  However, many women don’t realize that their final results, which lead to looking great in a bikini, take a little longer.

You might be dying to show off your booty cleavage – but you need to wait for the famous “fluffing stage”. This is the stage where the booty gets soft and full and you are ready to start your twerking career.

What Happens During The BBL Fluffing Stage

Here’s How It Works On a Medical Level

The fat is liposuctioned from your waist and belly (or anywhere you have some excess to give up) and grafted into the buttocks.

These fat grafts slowly connect with a blood supply that grows in and then they become permanent. For the first couple of weeks, there is swelling from the grafting. This swelling is your body bringing healing cells to the area to feed the new grafts nutrients.

After the first 2 weeks, the swelling starts to subside and the baby blood vessels are starting to grow in. During these first 3 weeks, it is important to keep pressure off the blood vessels to allow them to grow towards the fat grafts (sleeping on your belly and sitting on a boppy or bbl pillow).

For the next couple months, you’ll look good in clothes, but when naked, your booty still appears slightly stiff and almost square looking. This is the time to breathe and wait. The fluffing period is about to start, so hang in there!

Finally, after about 3 months, the small amount of swelling is starting to go away and the fat has made its home in its new location – your backside!

The term “BBL fluffing” refers to the booty getting nice and soft. The skin relaxes outward so you see more projection and the booty starts to really look nice and round. Some patients have really nice soft results at this time while others continue to fluff for the next 3 months. The good news is that it just keeps getting softer and more natural looking.

Final Results

At 3-6 months after a BBL, your results are permanent. Time to shake your booty and enjoy your #ROXYrump.
