How to prepare for a Brazilian butt lift: Your pre-op checklist

Quit smoking and vaping at least two to three months before surgery to improve blood circulation and healing. Maintaining a stable weight ensures enough fat for transfer and prevents post-surgery fluctuations from affecting results.

Adopting a healthy diet with protein, vitamins, and hydration to support tissue repair and recovery. Regular physical activity improves overall fitness and enhances surgical outcomes.

Dr Adnan Tahir will schedule a meeting to finalise your surgical plan, review your medical history, and ensure you are a good candidate.

It’s suggested to arrange for someone to drive you home after your BBL surgery and assist with post-operative care for at least 24 hours.

Prepare your recovery space by stocking up on a BBL pillow, compression garments, loose clothing, antiseptic soap, and prescribed medications.

Avoid blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications, alcohol, and herbal supplements to reduce the excessive bleeding risk. Consult Dr Adnan Tahir before stopping any prescribed medications.

Minimize sun exposure to maintain skin health and promote better healing.

You can pick up post-op medications, including pain relievers and antibiotics, from the pharmacy. For pre-surgery cleansing, use antiseptics.

Ensure all necessary supplies—such as soft clothing, hydration drinks, and extra pillows—are ready for your recovery.

Shower with an antibacterial soap and remove hair around the surgical area to lower infection risks.

Eat light, easily digestible meals to prevent bloating and discomfort. Avoid heavy or processed foods.

Follow fasting instructions and avoid eating or drinking for at least six to eight hours before surgery to minimise anesthesia-related risks.

Get a full night’s sleep to help your body prepare for recovery.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid jewelry, makeup, lotions, perfumes, and deodorants.

Take only the medications approved by Dr Adnan Tahir, such as prescribed blood pressure medication, before surgery.
