I am a 30 year old Asian, 5'4, 121 lbs. I have always had about two inches of belly fat and 2 inches of love-handles. I would like the fat transferred from my problem areas into my buttocks (I can barely hold a half inch of fat from this area). I would love it if someone could answer my concerns about the costs, recovery time and the scarring. Any recommendations in New York City would be helpful too!
Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift Brazilian Butt Lift recovery time is dependent on how the patient’s body reacts to the procedure. Patients usually return to work after a week but you should not sit without the use of cushions for at least two weeks and you must wear a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure. You should wait until at least 2 weeks after the procedure to engage in sexual activity. Swelling and discomfort normally fades at six weeks. After about a month you will be mostly healed and you can get a nice idea of the permanent results after around six months.

CONTACT NOW Answer: What is the Downtime for Fat Transfer in Buttocks? Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. I recommend my patients to allow 2-4 weeks for recovery, and to wait at least 7-10 days before going back to work, but each doctor has their own protocol. I also recommend not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. It is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions. Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Answer: What is the Downtime for Fat Transfer in Buttocks? Most patients resume light daily activities an a few days after surgery, and return to work in 7-10 days (no heavy lifting). Cost varies from surgeon to surgeon and depends on OR time, number of areas for liposuction, anesthesia......Seek a board certified plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Answer: Recovery from BBL Every surgeon has a different recovery protocol so it is best to talk with your plastic surgeon about what he/she recommends for you. With that said, I advise my patients not to sit on their rear ends at all for the first week. After then they may sit for short periods of time with a pillow under your legs above the knee for 8 weeks, it doesn't have to be a special BBL pillow if you don't want to draw attention to it. I would not recommend sitting normally without a pillow for 8 weeks. The costs of BBL varies based on location of the practice, the physician, the patient's anatomy, and the number of areas that are needed for liposuction in order to harvest the fat to be injected into the buttocks.Good luck!

Answer: Autologous Fat Transfer to the buttocks Based on you description, you are a great candidate for AFT. This will take care of your problem areas mentioned as well as contour your buttock region to lift and project. Downtime is about a week with you not sleeping on your bum for two weeks. Scarring is minimal with quarter inch incisions that heal very well in the bikini region. Best of luck.
