Could Frequent Sitting Affect Brazilian Butt Lift Results?

 After a Brazilian Butt Lift, usually you can resume sitting usually within a week or so depending on how your healing is progressing and when you are comfortable doing so. It also depends on what specific procedures you had done as well as how your recovery is going. Obviously the body heals with swelling and inflammation and usually that maxes out at two days and then starts getting better. Most of these patients take no pain medicine (because of the nerve blocks given during surgery) and usually feel very comfortable going out in public the same or next days.  I usually call my patients the night of surgery and check on them in person the next day. If everything is fine the next day, I then let them shower and they do not need a dressing over their incisions. At the two week check up, I usually have people start working out and then after six weeks they can do whatever they want.  I routinely tell people to take a few days to a week off work and to hide out but some people are very nervous especially celebrities and they might hide out for two weeks. As with any scar on the human body, initially scars are red, hard and raised and it typically takes six months to a year for them to become a soft thin white line.  Additionally with recovery, there're many things we do to expedite healing such as nerve blocks during surgery, oral supplements, skin care and scar therapy recommendations, lymphatic massage sessions that are included in our pricing. I strongly feel that it's very important to have an honest conversation with your surgeon about your particular situation, lifestyle, work environment and specifically which procedures you're having done so that you both have the most honest answer about your recovery and are realistic with expectations and results. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of butt lifts.  I hope my answer helps and if it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.  Have a great day.

Following your surgeon's post-operative instructions is key to ensuring the best outcome for your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Prolonged sitting directly on the buttocks can potentially affect the results, as this can harm the fat cells that were transferred to the area (by hindering blood flow to the newly grafted fat, potentially leading to fat cell death, loss of volume, or changes in shape).
Most surgeons recommend that patients avoid sitting for at least 2-3 weeks after the procedure. During this time, it's common to use a BBL pillow or cushion that helps offload the pressure from the buttocks and places it on the thighs. This helps ensure the survival of the fat cells and optimizes the final result. After this initial period, some surgeons allow patients to sit for shorter intervals but still recommend using supportive pillows and taking frequent breaks.
It is important to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon who can customize your surgical plan and determine the best technique for you based on your individual anatomy and goals.

If you adhere to my post op recommendations of avoiding pressure on your buttocks and hips for 6 weeks, I allow my patients unrestricted sitting afterwards. So far there have been no negative side effects.
