How to Make the Right Clothing Choices after Your Butt Lift Surgery

As any curvy woman will tell you, finding flattering clothes for a shapely body presents both challenges and opportunities. Butt augmentation can give you the full, round derriere that you’ve always wanted, but it may also completely change the way you dress, especially if you’re used to using clothes to make your butt look larger. During recovery from butt lift surgery, you’ll also need to modify the way you dress to ensure both your comfort and outstanding results. Here’s how to make the right clothing choices after having a butt lift:

What to Wear While Recovering from a Butt Lift

After you have a Brazilian butt lift, also known as a BBL, you’ll be wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and protect the area while you heal. Most people have liposuction performed on their abdomen to provide fat for their buttock injections, so your garment will probably cover this area as well. To hide your compression garment (and disguise any postoperative swelling), you’ll probably want to wear loose tops and sweaters for several weeks after you have surgery. It is important to follow your post-operative care instructions carefully to minimize the risk of complications and swelling and give yourself the best possible results.

For at least two months following your butt lift, you’ll need to avoid wearing very tight pants, like fitted jeans or leggings. Wearing tight pants can damage the recently-placed fat cells, causing your body to excrete them rather than allowing them to establish and grow properly. Should this fat loss occur, it will make the results of your butt lift less noticeable.

Choosing Clothes After You’ve Recovered from Your Procedure

A shapely butt looks great in almost anything – that’s why butt lifts are so popular. Still, you’ll want to avoid wearing clothes that add too much bulk to your backside after having this procedure, especially if you’re smaller on top. Pants that have large or numerous pockets, for example, can obscure the shape of your butt and legs. We generally recommend choosing pants that have no pockets (or ones that have very slim-fitting pockets). You should also try wearing seamless underwear underneath tight pants, dresses, and skirts to keep your silhouette smooth.

To make the most of your new figure, look for clothes that hug your body and highlight your waist. Pencil skirts, midi skirts, bodycon dresses, high-waisted pants, and crop tops are all great choices for most women post-BBL. Not only will these styles accentuate your enhanced derriere, but if you’ve had fat removed from your abdomen or hips as part of your procedure, they’ll also show off your trim tummy. 

Loose clothing with visible folds and creases can take attention away from your best assets. You might therefore consider getting your new clothes altered at a tailor for a precise fit (once your postoperative swelling has completely subsided) that best flatters your new figure.
