6 weeks post op BBL: is it normal to feel weird/uncomfortable sitting?

Question

I'm exactly 6 weeks post op today & as instructed by my surgeon I'm able to sit, is it normal to feel weird/uncomfortable sitting?

You are still in the healing phase, but the discomfort should ease up soon. I have observed that between 4 and 6 weeks the buttocks tend to stabilize in volume.  Usually by 3 months, the swelling is minimal and totally resolved by 6 months.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear lindaramirez75,at this stage of recovery process it is not unusual to feel weird or discomfort in your buttocks. It should resolve soon. If you have any concerns, you should consult your plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thanks for your question. It is normal to feel a little discomfort after weeks of mostly standing.  You will feel more comfortable as you continue to sit more. However, please continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon if you have any concerns.  All the best!

Hi good afternoon,
Its pretty normal to still feel swollen when you sit down on you butt pillow because the fat is starting to go down and you need to give it about 3 months for the final results.
have a great day.
