Important question!!With Brazilian butt lift we transfer fat from one area of the body to the other. These fat cells are transferred in microinjections throughout multiple planes in the buttock tissue so that they can gain new blood supply and live in their new home, providing increased volume and shape to the buttocks.Postoperatively, no specific position is indicated and we do not have any sitting restrictions. The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the postsurgical position depends basically on comfort and any other operations that have been performed. Patients use girdles for 6 weeks and start therapeutic lymphatic drainage and ultrasound massages in the liposuctioned areas, which continue daily for a total of 10 sessions. Patients canreturn to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery. We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery.
Thank you for your question. While most surgeons recommend not sitting for a minimum of two weeks after surgery...it is practically impossible to do. You can sit to go the the bathroom or eat. Some patients use toilet seat risers and thigh pillows to reduce pressure. While this recommendation makes logical sense to surgeons, there are no objective studies showing whether it makes a difference or not, how much sitting is too much, and how long you have to avoid sitting if it makes any difference. This is a situation where practicality has to come in to play. Best wishes!
1. Will having thick skin on my butt affect the amount of cc’s I’m able to have transferred?Without seeing you for an examination, it is hard to tell. Is the thick skin from scarring? This may often limit the skins capability to stretch. If you are able to grab or pinch loose skin, this will all...
It needs to be under control, of course, so you need to let your surgeon know since the first day of consultation. You'll probably be required to get a clearance before surgery and some precautions may be taken.
You need to ask your surgeon if they are dissolvable or not. He should also prescriber appropriate post-op instructions. Best of luck.
