Could Frequent Sitting Affect Brazilian Butt Lift Results?
My job consists of sitting down for 7 hrs, 5 days a week. If I were to get a Brazilian Butt Lift would sitting on my rear end cause my butt to flatten or become oddly shaped?

Too much sitting early after Brazilian butt lift would be a problem
Hi there-
I would not want you to do too much sitting too soon after surgery (for 2-3 weeks), and I would also prefer to restrict you from lying in the supine position (flat on your back), as these positions place a lot of pressure on the areas we would be trying to augment, and this might compromise your desired outcome.
The best thing to do would be to schedule your surgery around a time you can avoid sitting for this period of time, or to explore your options for work environment. There...

Can sitting effect a Brazilian Butt lift result?
A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body.
After a successful Brazilian Butt lift, the fact that remains is yours to keep forever. Prolong sitting will not affect this tissue.
However, keep in mind that immediately after the surgery there is a recovery process that all patients must go through. We...

Recovery from your Brazilian Buttocks Lift
The goal is to allow all of the fat cells that are placed in your buttocks a chance to get reconnected to the nearby blood vessels. This is what needs to happen for them to survive. Therefore, the more time you sit on your buttocks or put pressure on your buttocks, the more you are reducing the blood flowing through your buttocks tissues that we are relying on to try to grow new blood vessels to the transplanted fat cells. Therefore, more of the fat cells will likely die.
The second issue...

Do not sit at all for three weeks
This is my recommendation for anybody having a Brazilian Butt Lift. DO NOT SIT AT ALL for three weeks.
Trust me I have done hundreds, and revisions of other people's work. It is a serious commitment, but will pay off in the end.

Brazilian Butt Lifts and sitting
Pressure on the buttocks immediately after Brazilian Butt lifts can cause a decrease in the fat survival. The key is allowing enough time for the fat to revascularize, which will insure survival. Once the fat has revascularized, there is less concern about pressure on the buttocks (sitting a lot).
It is recommended that patients do not sit for more than 1 hour at a time for the first one month if they can avoid it.
Find a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
I hope this...

No direct sitting after Brazilian Butt Lift for 2 weeks
Felix,
For general information purposes, I do not allow my patients to sit on a Brazilian butt lift directly for a full two weeks. The pressure may displace the fat and/or cause more of it to be absorbed. I do allow my patients to sit on an open back chair or stool as long as the buttocks are offloaded. Good luck!

Will sitting lead to distortion of buttock after Brazilian Butt Lift
I allow my patients to sit immediately after the procedure. I have not had any distortion or flattening of the buttocks. I also don't think that this impairs the take of the fat.

Sitting and Brazilian Butt Enhancement
It is very important to avoid direct pressure on the grafted area. However it is very difficult not to sit.
We put our patients in a special garment to hold the shape of the buttocks. we also advice them to sit on a doughnut that keep the pressure off the grafted area. Also keep sitting to a minimum for about three weeks, At that time the graft has the chance to adhere and tend not to move.
After investing in ANY surgery you need to have the commitment of time to heal well. So there should...

Brazilian buttock lift side effects and recovery
Fat grafting is a very technical procedure. This involves an atraumatic harvesting, filtration and injection of the fat. Post operative management is a very important factor and include frequent change in positioning. It is very difficult to avoid sitting or sleeping on the buttocks for 3 weeks but at least I would like to get my patient to change positioning to avoid compression of the fat graft.

Postop BBL
You shouldn't sit on the freshly made graft for two weeks, then progressively you can apply pressure on it but in general I tell patients to avoid it for an average of about six weeks. Nothing is more dissapointing than watching a great result dwindle so patients are fairly motivated to do this once they see a nice plump result.

Brazilian butt lift and sitting
The Brazilian butt lift is a liposuction fat injection. When the fat is injected it has no blood supply. And it is very weak and the fat cells can be killed by pressure. Blood vessels they will begin to grow in to the fat cells in for 5 days. When the fat has normal blood supply the fat cells act like any other fat cells in the body and will survive sitting exercise and pressure.
The 1st 10. this time that i asked my patients not only setting or sleeping on the back. day 9 and 11 are no...

Sitting After Brazilian Butt Lift and Return to Work
While there is no standardized sitting or recovery protocol following a Brazilian Butt Lift, many plastic surgeons recommend that patients:
1. Avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time for 2-3 weeks
2. Sleep on their stomach for at least 1 week
3. Walk and stand the day following surgery
4. Wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks over the areas where liposuction was performed
Most plastic surgeons feel that fat transferred to the buttocks...

Prolonged sitting after your brazilian buttock augmentation
I concur with most of my colleagues here. Immediately following your buttock augmentation procedure, I generally do not recommend prolonged sitting for approx. 2-3 weeks. Prolonged continuous pressure on an augmented buttock immediately after fat grafting could affect your results.

Brazillian butt lift can be affected by sitting too much during healing
After you have had the Brazilian butt lift, you should refrain from sitting on hard surfaces or sitting on any surface for extended periods of time. The fat is still 'moldable' in the first 3 weeks after surgery and you want to avoid making it flat. If you have to sit, try sitting forward so that the weight is on the back of the thighs and not on the buttocks. Sleeping should be done on your tummy for the first 3 weeks as well. I have had patients come back for a check...

Sitting down after a brazilian butt lift
A brazilian butt lift safely and effectively transfers unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, flanks and thighs, to a very desirable area such as the buttocks, for a more voluptuous appearance. I instruct my patients not to sit on the buttocks at least 3 weeks after the procedure, in order to preserve the viability of the fat; after 3 weeks, the new blood supply to the fat graft is fairly well established, so sitting down should be ok after about 3 weeks post-operatively....

Recovery after Brazilian Butt Lift
You should avoid sitting for 3 weeks or sit with an open back chair for limited time periods where pressure is not placed on the buttocks. In my plastic surgery practice in Jacksonville, patients have returned to work with modified sitting positions as soon as 2 weeks after surgery and we have had excellent results. The reason behind avoiding pressure is to allow as much fat as possible to revascularize and survive to maintain the surgical result with time.

Sitting after Brazilian Butt Lift
Yes, it could affect the shape and roundness of the new buttocks. During the first 2 weeks, you are advised to avoid putting direct pressure on your buttock for more than a few minutes at a time. If you have to sit, use a very soft cushion. From week three until six you should also sit on cushions when sitting for prolonged periods.
