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.
 

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol and it is very important that you talk to him about your concerns and goals. I recommend my patients not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :) 

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.-
