The first few weeks after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are crucial — and preparation makes all the difference. A proper BBL aftercare list ensures that your recovery is safe, clean, and comfortable while protecting your surgical results. Here’s the complete, doctor-approved guide to what you need — and why every item matters.
1. Compression Garment (Faja)
Your faja is your best friend during recovery. It provides even pressure to reduce swelling, prevent fluid buildup, and help your skin adhere smoothly to new contours. Choose one made from breathable Powernet fabric like BeShapy’s Colombian Compression Faja.
2. Inflatable BBL Pillow
You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your glutes for several weeks. A BBL pillow lets you sit comfortably without putting pressure on transferred fat — ideal for travel or office recovery.
3. Lipo Foams
These soft, medical-grade pads are placed under your faja to distribute compression evenly and prevent irregularities. They also enhance comfort and protect your skin.
4. Body Wipes for Hygiene
Since showering may not be possible for several days, BeShapy Body Wipes are essential. They’re pH-balanced, alcohol-free, and enriched with Vitamin E + Aloe Vera, keeping your skin clean and calm.
5. Post-Surgery Robe with Drain Pockets
A recovery must-have for mobility and modesty. BeShapy’s robe keeps surgical drains secure and makes it easy to move around comfortably.
6. Compression Socks
Helps reduce the risk of swelling and promotes circulation — especially during long periods of rest.
7. Water Bottle & Healthy Snacks
Staying hydrated supports lymphatic drainage and healing. Opt for protein-rich snacks and anti-inflammatory foods to boost recovery.
8. Lymphatic Drainage Roller or Massage Tool
Once cleared by your surgeon, gentle massages can help reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.
Conclusion
Recovery is not just about rest — it’s about supporting your body with the right tools and mindset. A thoughtful BBL aftercare kit minimizes risks and maximizes comfort.
