Can You Work Out After a Liquid Butt Lift? Here’s the Truth

Summary

If you’re considering a butt augmentation to enhance your curves, the Liquid Butt Lift has become a popular non-surgical alternative to traditional Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery. Many in Calgary are turning to this minimally invasive butt lift for a subtle, natural-looking buttock enhancement without the long recovery associated with fat transfer to buttocks.

A common question we hear is: Can I work out after a Liquid Butt Lift? Understanding the right balance between activity and recovery helps you maintain your results while staying active and healthy. 

What Is a Liquid Butt Lift?

Unlike BBL surgery, which involves liposuction and fat reinjection, the Liquid Butt Lift is a non-invasive butt lift using injectable treatments like hyaluronic acid fillers. This injectable butt lift offers volume enhancement for buttocks and stimulates collagen to improve shape and contour, all with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

Dr. Paul Kuzel, a board-certified dermatologist and medical director of Rejuvenation Dermatology in Calgary, specializes in this safe, effective cosmetic butt lift procedure that fits well with active lifestyles.

 

Can You Work Out After a Liquid Butt Lift?

The short answer: Yes, but with some important considerations.

Since the Liquid Butt Lift is minimally invasive, most patients can resume light physical activity almost immediately. However, to protect your results and allow your body to adjust, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercises targeting the buttocks or involving direct pressure on the treated area for about 1 to 2 weeks.

Why Avoid Heavy Workouts Right Away?

  • Allow Fillers to Settle: After butt injections, the filler needs time to settle and integrate with your natural tissue.
  • Reduce Swelling and Bruising: Avoiding intense workouts minimizes swelling and bruising, which can affect your results.
  • Prevent Displacement: Excessive pressure or movement might shift the filler, impacting the evenness of your butt contouring.

What Workouts Are Safe After a Liquid Butt Lift?

  • Walking and Light Cardio: These can usually be resumed within a few days post-treatment.
  • Upper Body Workouts: Exercises focusing on arms, back, and core are safe immediately after.
  • Stretching and Yoga: Gentle stretching is generally fine but avoid poses that put pressure directly on your buttocks.

When Can You Return to Intense Butt Workouts?

After about 2 weeks, most patients can gradually reintroduce squats, lunges, and other glute-focused exercises. It’s best to start slowly and listen to your body, increasing intensity as you feel comfortable.

 

Why Choose a Liquid Butt Lift Over BBL Surgery?

  • No surgery, no anesthesia: Avoid the risks and lengthy downtime of BBL procedures.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients return to daily life immediately.
  • Natural, gradual results: Volume builds subtly, enhancing your buttock shape over time.
  • Safe and reversible: Hyaluronic acid fillers can be adjusted if needed.
  • Tailored treatments: Dr. Kuzel customizes your gluteal augmentation to suit your unique body contour and aesthetic goals.
