When planning your Brazilian butt lift, one of the most important steps you’ll need to take is choosing the best cosmetic surgeon for your procedure. To help you narrow down your search and feel confident that you’ve made the right choice, ask these three questions at your consultation.
1. How Many Brazilian Butt Lifts Have You Performed?
You want to make sure you’re working with a cosmetic surgeon who has ample experience performing the type of procedure you want. To help you gauge a particular cosmetic surgeon’s level skill and experience level, ask how many BBLs he or she has performed in the past.
Another tip for choosing a cosmetic surgeon is to ask if he or she is certified with the American Board of Cosmetic Surgeons or other similar accredited organizations.
2. Do You Have Before and After Photos?
Before and after BBL photos can give you a better idea of the results that a particular cosmetic surgeon has been able to achieve. You can also use before and after photos of patients whose bodies are similar to yours to communicate with your surgeon about the trouble spots that you’d like to address through an individualized BBL.
The purpose of before and after photos isn’t to make your body look just like someone else’s. Instead, they should be used to more effectively communicate your goals with your cosmetic surgeon.
3. Will I Need a Touch-Up in the Future?
Although it’s not completely out of the question to require a touch-up Brazilian butt lift in the future, if your cosmetic surgeon has a high rate of revisions and explains that it’s likely you will need one, you may want to get a second opinion. Perfection isn’t a realistic expectation, but neither is expecting that every single BBL will need a touch-up. Look for a cosmetic surgeon who can deliver the results you want the first time around.
