Dear Felicityluv,I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Hi! thanks for your question. Sitting in a blow-up chair after a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) can put pressure on the newly transferred fat, which may affect the results. It's generally recommended to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for about 2-4 weeks post-surgery. If you must sit, use a special BBL pillow or cushion that offloads pressure to your thighs, keeping the buttocks elevated and protected during healing. Always follow your surgeon's specific aftercare instructions.
No one has ever proven that sitting after a BBL as any impact on the final outcome.Each plastic surgeon will have their own protocols and some are more restrictive than others.I recommend you follow your providers protocol and recommendations.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD

Thank you for your query. A good alternative to BBl can be an aggressive 360 degree liposuction of the waist and augmentation of the hip dips. When done well by experienced surgeons the risks of these procedures are minimal. A BBL can also be done safely by experienced surgeons who can avoid...
