what do you recommend?
There are several disadvantages to having a Brazilian and abdominoplasty at the same time.There are also obviously many advantages. Generally you want to avoid putting a direct pressure and minimizing motion on areas that have been fat grafting. In order for the fat to get revascularized it has to be immobilized. Grafted tissue is at its most vulnerable between the fifth and 12th day. These are also days where it can be challenging to not put pressure on your bottom after an abdominoplasty. I encourage my patients to use pillows the best they can to avoid pressure on the area's grafted.Another option may be to sleep in a recliner again with pillows putting pressure on areas that were not treated with fat transfer. unfortunately we do not have a good scientific evidence telling us how importance avoiding pressure is after fat transfer.Most experts agree that avoiding pressure and minimizing motion are important for the longevity and percentage survival of transferred fat.
