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?

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

Sitting post-BBL
In a brazilian butt lift, fat is transferred from various parts of the body to the buttocks to re-shape and augment the buttocks. After the procedure, it is crucial to minimize or avoid sitting for prolonged periods. The reason is that the fat has not integrated to your tissues so the buttocks may flatten or loose projection. Further, sitting causes trauma to the newly placed fat so the process of blood vessel ingrowth, which is necessary for fat survival, may be disrupted. So I recommend...

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...

How does frequent sitting affect Brazilian Butt Lift results?
I generally recommend that my Brazilian Butt Lift patients avoid sitting on their buttocks for the first 2 weeks after surgery. This allows the transferred fat time to "take" in its new location. After that period, you can resume normal activities and your normal sitting patterns without affecting your result.

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.
