I Am Considering Getting a Brazilian Butt Lift in the Future. How Long Is There No Sitting Post-Op?

Not sitting after a Brazilian butt lift procedure is extremely important for the success of the surgery. This is not as challenging as you might imagine.

This is typically the sitting protocol that I use:


1. No sitting for two weeks 

This is because pressure can seriously affect the results by compromising the fat survival.  But you can lie on your side or chest, go to the bathroom, and sit for a few minutes but that is about it.


2. Cigar-shape pillow

 I routinely encourage my patients to buy a cigar-shape pillow. Such pillow should be placed under the thighs and not directly under the buttocks. It will bump your buttock, thus minimizing the pressure. You need to use this pillow for a whole month.
 

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

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.
