Before your procedure, you’ll need to fill your prescriptions and ensure your environment is comfortable and relaxing. Make sure you purchase any items you might need, such as snacks, bottled water, extra pillows, or towels. A friend or family member will need to drive you home after your BBL in Newport Beach. Bear in mind that you may have to schedule transportation for several weeks, as you won’t be able to sit on your rear end. Dr. Savalia will review your current medications and let you know if any need to be discontinued. Lastly, make sure you wear comfortable clothing that is easy to take on and off on the day of your appointment.
A Brazilian butt lift is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia and involves three basic steps: Fat is extracted using liposuction from the lower back, hips, abdomen, thighs, or other areas; the harvested fat is purified and prepared for transfer to the buttocks; and finally, Dr. Savalia strategically injects the fat into specific areas of the buttocks to increase volume and improve shape. As some of the harvested fat cells may not survive the transfer, Dr. Savalia may inject a slightly greater amount of fat than needed to ensure your final results achieve your goals.
Immediately after surgery, you’ll experience some minor swelling, tenderness, and bruising at both the injection sites and the donor regions where liposuction was performed. Temporary numbness may also occur. Once home, you can take brief walks to help promote proper circulation. Take care not to put direct pressure on the buttocks by sleeping on your side or your stomach. Dr. Savalia will provide detailed instructions to follow carefully.
During the first week of recovery, Dr. Savalia may advise that you wear a compression garment to help minimize swelling and reduce fluid retention. This garment may also help mitigate lower body discomfort. During this time, you should utilize a booty pillow to keep pressure off of your rear end. Lymphatic massage can help enhance your outcome and reduce the formation of scar tissue. You’ll attend a follow-up visit with Dr. Savalia to ensure your healing remains on track.
A BBL can be a great alternative to implants because it uses your own natural fat to improve the shape and size of the buttocks. This procedure has the added benefit of slimming and contouring the areas from which fat is harvested, to create a curvier profile.

Absolutely! A BBL is often paired with a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, thigh lift, liposuction, or breast surgery to comprehensively rewind the clock on aging and provide the patient with a more youthful, proportionate figure. If you are interested in other cosmetic procedures, don’t hesitate to discuss them with Dr. Savalia during your private consultation.
I understand how tough it can be to talk with anyone else about this surgery, especially a medical doctor. I can assure you that you will have complete support and discretion from my practice.
“Dr Savalia is a true artist who takes pride in his work. He told me that I should expect perfection, and he delivered!!”

The results of this procedure are meant to be long-lasting. Fat cells removed from donor sites are gone from those areas for good. Fat cells that survive the transfer to the buttocks will continue functioning as fat cells in their new location for years to come.
You should be able to resume light activities within one week after a Brazilian butt lift. Most people can return to work within 10 to 14 days after surgery. However, it is important to follow Dr. Savalia’s instructions and avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for the recommended time.
Brazilian butt lift has a low risk of complications. Using your body’s own fat, this procedure can achieve results that look and feel natural.
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.

Consultations with Dr. Savalia are relaxed and informative, never rushed or impersonal.
