Will sitting in a blow up chair after a Brazilian butt lift affect my results?

Question

After a Bbl can I sit in a blow up bbl chair or will that affect my results?

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

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.

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.

Manuel Diaz, MD · Answer

Hello dear, after a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), it is crucial to be careful with the pressure in the buttock area. You can use an inflatable chair as long as it is designed for BBL, it is a safe option, as long as it is well designed to distribute the weight evenly and does not apply pressure directly to the buttocks. You can text us via whatsapp at 1-829-554-6062 so we can give you the necessary recommendations about surgery. A pleasure to help.

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,
