How long is the donut needed after a BBL?

Thank you for your question.  Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. We have  no specific position is indicated and we do not have any sitting restrictions.  The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the postsurgical position depends basically on comfort and any other operations that have been performed. Best is to follow your specific surgeon's advice.

I recommend my patients to refrain from sitting for the first two weeks after surgery. Then, patients can use a special BBL pillow for short durations for a few weeks. Consult your surgeon since each surgeon has a slightly different protocol.

I prefer patients do not sit on their buttocks for 2-3 weeks after a BBl. It might be a good idea to use that for several weeks. Each doc is different and you should ask yours.
