Before Your Treatment

Preparing for Butt Filler

A little preparation helps reduce bruising and swelling, lowers your risk of complications and supports a smooth recovery.

Good preparation makes a real difference to your comfort, your recovery and your result. Please read this carefully, and contact us before your appointment if anything is unclear.

Important: never stop prescribed medication without first speaking to your GP or prescribing healthcare professional.

Your preparation timeline

1–2 weeks before

Avoid other treatments in the area. Keep your weight stable. Let us know about any medical changes.

1 week before

Where medically appropriate, avoid blood-thinning medicines and supplements (see below) to reduce bruising.

No alcohol. Hydrate well. Prioritise good sleep.

On the day

Eat a proper meal, arrive with clean skin, wear loose clothing, and plan to take it easy — with no long sitting or driving afterwards.

To reduce bruising — 1 week before

Why: these thin the blood and can increase bruising. Only where medically appropriate, and never stop anything prescribed without your doctor's approval.

On the day of treatment

Please do

  • Eat a proper meal beforehand
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Shower and arrive with clean skin

Please avoid

  • Creams, oils or makeup on the area

Plan ahead for a smooth recovery

The first two weeks are about protecting the area from pressure — so a little planning makes recovery far more comfortable.

Have ready at home

  • A cushion you can sit on your thighs with (a "BBL" / coccyx cushion is ideal)
  • Loose, comfortable clothing
  • Paracetamol and arnica
  • A plan to sleep on your front or side
  • A quieter couple of weeks for events & long journeys

Please contact us before your appointment if you

  • Feel unwell or have a fever
  • Have any infection, spot or skin breakage in the area
  • Become pregnant or think you might be
  • Start any new medication
  • Have had a recent illness, surgery or another treatment in the area
If in doubt, always contact us — in many cases we can simply reschedule to a safer time.

Our priority is your safety

If we believe treatment is not in your best interests on the day, we may postpone it until it can be performed safely. Your safety always comes first.
