Brazilian Butt Lift: Q&A

Driving 4/5 Days After Brazilian Butt Lift
My BBL will take place in 2 weeks. My post-op appointment will be scheduled for 4/5 days after the procedure. My PS office is about 45-60 mins from my home...will the sitting while driving (both directions) be harmful to the treated area? The office tells me as long as it's not for more than an hour at a time that I should be ok, but from what I've researched, I'm worried. Help.

Driving after a Brazilian butt lift
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.

In our practice, we asked that the patients do not place any pressure onto the butt or the areas that have received fat grafting. We recommend that they sleep facedown or on their sides and...

Can I drive after a brazilian butt lift
I would recommend that you have someone drive you to your post-op visit, especially if you are still taking pain medicaitons. Most people don't really feel comfortable to drive for at least 10-14 days after surgery. Sitting for short periods of time might be okay, ask your surgeon, what they recommend.

You should definitely NOT drive 5 days after a Brazilian Butt Lift
Hi there-
I completely agree with my colleagues that driving this soon after this operation would not be smart.
The safety considerations are real. You should also consider the likelihood that you will lose fat in your buttocks if you sit (AT ALL) too early.

No sitting for 2 weeks
Each plastic surgeon has his or her own set of instructions for their patients after a Brazilian Butt Lift. I tell my patients absolutely no sitting for 2 weeks. Perhaps that is why I am seeing a very high "take" or retention rate of the fat in my patients. Listen to whatever your p.s. tells you personally on the day of surgery. His/her staff may be mistaken in their recommendation. Good luck!

Driving 5 Days after Major Surgery
There are many reasons why you should NOT be driving 5 days after major surgery.
- you will be under the influence of pain pills. Driving under such influence is a felony which may result in injury / death to you and others as well as severe penalties.
- You will feel tired. Your reflexes will be slower.
- You will be sore. Liposuction of other areas is often done to harvest the fat for grafting into the buttocks. When sore we often do not respond as quickly as we may need to and...
