Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift tips
While ideally it would be beneficial to stay off the buttocks as much as possible, it is equally, if not more important, to get out of bed as soon and as much as possible. I recommend to my patients to refrain from sitting too long for the first 4-5 days. During this time patients should change positions from lying to sitting to standing and walking. When sitting you should get up every 20-30 minutes if possibel to relieve the pressure. After 5 days you can sit more freely but not resume normal sitting for 2 weeks following surgery. By 6 weeks you will have a fairly clwar picture regarding the status of your buttocks. There are many factors involved in the success of bittock augmentation using fat transplantation. Your surgeon should have reviewed with them with you. Theer is a certain percentage of patients who will need a second procedure regardless of how much or little they sat post-op.

Each doctor has their own protocol 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 :)

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift 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.

Answer: Recovering from a Brazilian Butt Lift Thank you for the question. Recovering from a Brazilian Butt Lift is a little more demanding that some other liposuction procedures. It is important to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least 10 days after treatment. This is extremely important as it can affect blood circulation to the area and potentially destroy the transferred fat cells.

Answer: BBL Recovery A Brazilian Butt Lift is a transfer of a person’s own fat from one area of the body to another to improve the overall contour. To ‘harvest’ the fat we use liposuction to vacuum out the excess tissue, process it with a centrifuge type system to remove the impurities and excess fluid, and then we inject it back into the areas we want to enhance. Typical areas for lipo are the abdomen, flanks or love handle areas, back and thighs. In a BBL the receiving site is the buttocks area. The sore part of this surgery is the liposuction. The areas we harvest from are tender and swollen for a few weeks afterward, and are not fully back to normal for a couple of months. Expect that it will be at least 2-3 months before you see all of the changes in your contour that will happen. After the surgery I usually recommend patients plan to take about 5-7 days off of work, and 3-4 weeks off of vigorous exercise (i.e.: jogging/aerobics), but it is okay to walk and do lighter things almost right away. One specific restriction with a Brazilian Butt Lift is that we want to avoid prolonged pressure on the buttocks area for the first 2 weeks after surgery. Too much pressure will cause the transferred fat to die, and we will not get the enhancement you are looking for. This means sleeping on your tummy for 2 weeks, and using a cushion to sit on for 2 weeks. You also have to get up frequently, or shift the pressure every 10 or 15 minutes while sitting during that time. You and your plastic surgeon need to review these issues before surgery and make a plan specific to your situation in order to maximize your results successfully.

Answer: BBL recovery tips Great questions. Here are some tips to ensure a great recovery and result from a BBL.Make sure you drink a lot of fluid and bed rest for the first week. Also, no sitting directly on your buttocks for about three weeks, which also includes no driving. Always schedule follow up appointment after surgery. I can't stress enough, wear a compression garment for 24 hours/day for the first 2 weeks. Wearing the garment control swelling. It may not be comfortable but it is so important if you want to achieve amazing results. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certifiedPlastic surgeonHoffman EstatesBarringtonOakbrookChicago
