Using a yoga mat after a Brazilian butt lift

The Brazilian butt lift is beautiful and effective way to contour your torso, create a flat tummy, a small waist, sculpted back, full hips, and round new bottom. In our practice here in Miami, the Brazilian butt lift is one of our most popular procedures. Just as important as the experience of the surgeon and technique that is used is the postoperative protocol that the patient follows.

Pressure after Brazilian Butt Lift

After Brazilian butt lift, or autologous fat grafting, one should not place ANY pressure on the buttocks, no matter what pillow one uses. The fat graft, which is essentially devoid of blood supply when grafted into the buttocks, must regenerate this blood supply to survive, and can only do so in the absence of undue pressure.

I do not recommend Yoga Mats, Boppy Pillows or Doughnuts! If you have hemorrhoids or an episiotomy they may be helpful.

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to use these for recovery from the Brazilian Butt Lift! I have performed this procedure for 14 years with beautiful results and would never recommend someone use these devices. more
