All I want to get is fat transfer to my butt. I am getting fat taken from my arms and injected in my butt. The doctor is saying that it is not BBL and that my down time should only be a week....is that possible?
Answer: What is the Recovery Time for Fat Transfer to Butt? For a noticeable buttock augmentation I would expect a gradual recovery over several weeks not just one week. You will not only be recovering from the fat grafting of the buttocks but also from the liposuction performed to collect the fat for grafting. I usually require my patients to wear a compression garment for six weeks to help with swelling reduction and support of the skin. It certainly is possibly to return to driving and light work activities within about a week after surgery. However, expect a full recovery to be closer to 4-6 weeks. Best of luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: BBL Recovery As far as BBL recovery is concerned, I generally tell my patients that they may return to work in 10-14 days after a brazilian butt lift. General swelling may take 6-8 weeks to improve, but the inflammation from the liposuction can last several months. I recommend postponing exercise and sexual activity until after 4 weeks. My patients are instructed to minimize sitting for one month. If your job requires sitting, a special pillow can be used to take some of the weight off of the buttocks. Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Recovery from BBL It is best to be seen in person and without photos it's hard to say, but if you are having only fat from your arms transferred to the buttocks, that does not sound like enough fat to make a visible difference. Also, in terms of recovery, every patient is different in how they respond to a procedure and every surgeon has their own recovery protocol. After fat in injected into the buttocks, I do not recommend sitting at all for the first week, and after the first week, only for short periods of time with a pillow under your legs above the knee. I do not recommend my patients to sit normally for the first 8 weeks. Good luck!Kamran Azad, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Recovery Time for Fat Transfer to Buttocks Thank you sharing your question! Though the timeline varies with each patient, normal activities are typically resumed in 7-10 days, and more strenuous activities in 3-6 weeks. You should be provided with necessary compression garments and prescriptions for pain-controlling medications by your plastic surgeon. Be sure to follow the doctor’s specific recommendations during your recovery.Best wishes and be well!
