Why Do I Feel Like my Butt is Going to Explode when I Try to Sit Down After BBL?

Question

Hello, I had a brazilian butt lift 2 weeks ago and tried to sit down today and I felt like my butt was going to explode. Sounds funny but thats what I felt. My butt really hurts when I sit down. I am really worried! Is is normal not to be able to sit for not even a minute. Please someone give me some answers! I also have some very hard spots in my butt and flanks… :/

Pain is not unusual after this type of surgery but your pain seems more than usual.  I would be concerned for an infection and want to make sure that this is ruled out.  I would suggest that you go back to your doctor to make sure of this.  Good luck

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation, discomfort and irregularities are normal. Try using a boppy pillow for comfort.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
