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.

The Brazilian butt lift is a beautiful and effective way to contour your torso create a flat abdomen, a small waist a sculpted back and a full round new bottom. In my practice here Miami, this is one of our most popular procedures. We give our patients detailed instructions on how to take care of their results after the surgery to achieve the best effects possible. After the surgery, it is very important to avoid putting any pressure on the areas that have received the fat grafting. For this reason, we ask that patients do not sleep on their backs for 2 to 4 weeks. This may be difficult for the patients who feel most comfortable sleeping on their backs but trust me, this precaution is worth it. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your doctor as well.

Hi Lana
	Hopefully you and your surgeon talked about all of these issues prior to you undergoing the Brazilian Butt LIft.  I have performed this procedure hundreds of times and have a very strict routine that I have my patients follow after surgery.  Hopefully your surgeon has suggested a routine for you to follow.  We all have different techniques that we follow.  If your surgeon gets great results, then I strongly recommend that you discuss with him/her what they have their patients do.  I hate it when patients who I operate on come back after surgery and tell me they have been doing something that they were told to do by a friend or that they read on the internet that is totally the opposite of what I would recommend.  I don't want to do that to another surgeon.  My patients get my results, which I think are great results, when they follow my technique and my recommendations.   I give my patients my cell phone number and tell them all to call any time with any questions or concerns so that they get the best results that I can give them. 
	Call your surgeon! Ask them!

Please have in mind your fat needs time to settle and hardened at least 4-6 weeks period. You can potentially dent the shape of the buttocks area.
