Expert Tips On Maximizing Results With Brazilian Butt Lift Exercises

Brazilian Butt Lift surgery can give you the curvy contour you’re looking for; however, this fat transfer procedure doesn’t strengthen your muscles. Fortunately, you can add exercises to your workout routine after your BBL to strengthen and grow your glutes–and enhance your Brazilian Butt Lift results. 

Exercise Tips To Enhance Your BBL

After your Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, it’s best to return to your exercise routine slowly. Give yourself two months before you do high-intensity workouts; otherwise, you’ll risk burning off the new fat cells before they take up a more permanent residence by establishing their own blood supply. What if you weren’t in the habit of working your glutes before surgery? Understandably, you want to take every possible step to enhance your results. Try the following exercises to build the muscles and maintain your BBL outcome:
  • Toe-down hip lifts
  • Toe-up hip lifts
  • Full-extension step-ups
  • Stability ball or resistance band hip drops and lifts
 Exercises that will specifically target the growth of your glute muscles–and, therefore, enhance your BBL results–are: 
  • Wall single-leg glute bridges
  • Resistance band kickbacks
 Once you’ve built up your glutes and feel these muscles are strong enough, you can add exercises from the list below. Start slowly to avoid pulling or straining any muscles and causing yourself a setback. Remember to listen to your body and increase intensity and reps when you feel comfortable. All of these exercises benefit your glutes and may help improve your BBL results, including: 
  • Squats
  • Romanian deadlifts (RDLs)
  • Dumbbell frog presses
  • Barbell (or dumbbell) hip thrusts 
  • Glute bridges
  • Low bar squats
  • Curtsy (or crossover) lunges
  • Step-ups
  • Reverse hypers 
  • Sprinter position dumbbell Bulgarian split squats
  • Single-leg hip thrusts

Other Ways To Maximize BBL Results 

Aside from exercise, what can you do to keep your BBL results looking great?  
  • Adopt a healthy, well-balanced diet

While this may seem obvious, a nutritious meal plan is one of the most critical factors in retaining your BBL results. It’s also one of the areas most people easily let slide after surgery, so we recommend establishing healthy habits before your procedure. If you are already in the routine before your BBL, it will be easier to continue eating a well-balanced diet and exercising regularly after surgery. 
  • Prioritize hydration

Water is crucial to helping your body retain hydration and recover from BBL surgery. You’re also more likely to see the results you want from your Brazilian Butt Lift if you keep your body’s hydration high on your priority list. For an extra boost, try adding electrolytes to your routine, whether through bottled drinks like Powerade or powders you can mix in a glass of water. 
  • Avoid alcohol and tobacco products

Almost all forms of smoking expose your system to nicotine, which will inhibit your body’s oxygen supply and healing after BBL surgery. It’s best to give any sort of smoking a wide berth if you want to get the best out of your BBL (and yes, this includes vaping). In the same way, alcohol consumption post-BBL may lead to worse bleeding or bruising after the procedure. You also risk more intense swelling after surgery if you drink alcohol. As much as you want to avoid things like swelling and bruising, the most jarring impact of drinking after your BBL may be the effect on your outcome. Drinking can stunt your body’s healing process–and prevent your ideal Brazilian Butt Lift results.
