How Can I Sit After a Brazilian Butt Lift?

It’s important to realize that fat cells are very fragile in
the immediate post-operative period. This situation doesn’t improve until these
fat cells have re-established blood supply with the surrounding tissue. In most
cases this takes about two weeks to occur. At this point fat cells become less
sensitive to the effects of pressure and are less likely to be damaged by
sitting or lying on the buttocks.For
these reasons, we limit sitting or lying on the buttocks to one hour intervals
for the first two weeks following surgery. When patients do sit in a chair they
should rest their weight on their posterior thighs away from their buttocks. In
addition they should utilize an inflatable pillow whenever possible. When
sleeping they should be on either their side or abdomen to avoid pressure on
the buttock.These
routines place obvious limitations on physical activity for post-operative
patients. Unfortunately, failure to comply with these recommendations can result
in fat cell death from pressure. This can result in contour irregularity and a
less than optimal result.

The recovery time after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can vary, but patients are generally advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least 2-3 weeks to allow for proper healing of the transferred fat. It’s crucial to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions for the best results and to minimize the risk of complications. Always consult with your healthcare provider for recommendations based on your specific situation.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, with the help of a boppy pillow, If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
