Male Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (BBL for Men)

When you first contact Cadogan Clinic about Male BBL, you will speak with one of our dedicated surgical patient advisors. They will be able to answer any initial questions you may have about the procedure and our surgeons. They will also organise your consultations. You will have up to two consultations at our award-winning Chelsea based clinic with your surgeon to discuss Male Brazilian Butt Lift surgery and your desired results. Consultations are usually up to 60 minutes and your surgeon will examine your buttocks, as well as the areas you would like to be treated with Liposuction and explain the best approach for you.

Ahead of your consultation, we recommend writing down any questions you may have for your consultant, so you feel fully prepared. During your consultation, your surgeon will also complete a general health and wellness assessment, including your height, weight and blood pressure and take clinical photos for your records.

Following your consultation, your surgeon will then your surgical plan through to your patient advisor. This may include a few options for treatments or procedures that will address your concerns. If the surgeon has decided you are suitable for Male BBL surgery, your advisor will contact you to explain the plan, pricing and offer available surgical dates to you. You will then have a mandatory two week cooling off period to allow you to consider all the information you have been given and whether you would like to go ahead with surgery. 

 If you decide to proceed with Male BBL surgery, you will next visit the clinic on the day of your procedure. You will be asked to prepare for your procedure in the following way:

• You will need to complete your pre-operative paperwork to allow your surgical team (surgeon, anaesthetist, and nurses) to review all of your medical and psychological information to ensure you are ready for surgery. 
• If you smoke or vape, your surgeon will ask you to stop for six weeks before surgery can take place. This is vital to ensure your recovery is smooth and you heal fully and properly. 
• You will also be asked to cut down on drinking alcohol as excessive alcohol consumption can also impact the healing and recovery process.
• In the week before your procedure, you must avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and aspirin, and any herbal supplements as these can increase the risk of bleeding 
• You will need to organise a chaperone to come and collect you after the surgery. This should be a family member or friend who can either drive you or accompany you in a taxi and stay overnight with you 
• In the 6 hours before you arrive at the clinic, you cannot eat any solid food or consume any juice or milk (including tea or coffee). You can have sips of clear liquids (water, or black tea and coffee) up to 2 hours before you arrive at the clinic 

On your surgery day, you will be asked to arrive at the clinic an hour before your scheduled surgery time. You will speak with your surgeon, anaesthetist, and the nurses to ask any final questions, and to be prepared for surgery with any marking the surgeon may need to do.

You will then be taken into theatre, where your anaesthetist will administer your general anaesthetic, so you are asleep and unaware of your surgery. All procedures at Cadogan Clinic are performed using TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia) which minimises post-operative sickness and nausea and allows for a faster initial recovery – meaning you can go home faster.

Your surgeon will then carry out your Male BBL. After the procedure is complete, you wake up on our recovery ward, and a nurse will monitor your vital health signs. Once you are comfortable, you will be taken into our ambulatory ward where you will have something to eat and drink and a nurse will talk you through any medication and aftercare you need to understand once you leave. This will include how to use and look after your BBL cushion and garments. When you are ready, the nurses will ask your chaperone to come and collect you and you will be discharged. 

The first few days following Male BBL may be slightly uncomfortable. Most patients are up and moving within 2-3 days and able to bathe normally within the first week.

You should expect some swelling and bruising in the surgical area which should heal within the first few weeks following surgery.

One week after your surgery you will have an appointment with our nurses so they can assess your incisions, remove any stitches, and make sure you are healing well. They will answer any questions you have at this stage and explain how to look after your dressings.

Six weeks after your procedure you will meet with your surgeon so they can discuss your recovery and results. After six weeks, if you have any questions or concerns, you will still be able to contact the team and speak with one of our specialist nurses.
