I got the whole "no sitting" for 3 weeks. I'm flying to Miami for my procedure. I want to maintain as much fat as possible and my surgeon has thoroughly explain to expect approximate 30% absorption. Im staying in Miami for 10 days and taking a 2hr flight with a 1hr 30 min layover then a 50 min flight back home to recover for the remaining 3 weeks. Will the sitting time with a doughnut for my flights drastically reduce my desired results?

Best to avoid sitting for as long as possible after a Brazilian Butt Lift

I'm a big beleiver of the doughnut as it avoid pressure and helps increase fat survival rate.

This cushion will lift your buttocks and will avoid pressure on them. Walk a few times toward the bathroom. This will... more

Should you sit on a Doughnut after the Brazilian Butt Lift?

Absolutely not.... in my opinion. It's very obvious, there are very different opinions as to what is the "best" recommendation for Brazilian Butt Lift patients. First of all, I DO NOT recommend flying 10 days after having the Brazilian Butt Lift. I do not believe it is the best thing for your fat cells, nor do I believe it is as safe for patient's overall health regarding the risk of developing Blood Clots. I have to also Strongly Disagree... more

Brazilian butt lift and sitting after surgery

When I have patients from out of town I do ask them to stay in Miami for 10 days. my out-of-town patients have not reported a change in the buttocks after their flights home. I would suggest not to use a doughnut because the doughnut will make uneven pressure on the buttocks which may make the buttocks not smooth your better off sitting on a flat surface because of flat result is better than A uneven result. What you can do is to shift your weight in the seat during the flight, lean to... more
