How soon can I sit on Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift consists of harvesting fat from one area of the body, processing and purifying it, and then injecting it back into the buttocks area to increase volume and enhance shape. When the fat is first injected it has been pulled out of its usual ‘home’ environment, stripped of its blood supply and placed into a new region where it has to re-establish a blood supply from the surrounding tissue. A that time it is very delicate and needs to be treated gently. During the first 10-14 days it begins to ‘grow into’ the new environment. Blood vessels hook up to bring it nutrition and get rid of waste (just like plumbing in your house). Once the new ‘supply lines’ have been established, the fat cells become more durable and tolerant, and eventually become ‘one’ with surrounding tissue. At that point they are no longer vulnerable and can handle normal wear and tear! If those fat cells encounter adverse conditions during the early healing period, they may never develop attachments to their new home, and proceed to die. One of the worst conditions for these transplanted cells is pressure. It can squish them enough to burst, push them into places we don’t want them, and result in poor shape and unsatisfactory results. I would recommend in your situation to plan to take at least 7-10 days off of work completely, and then plan to get up frequently and shift your weight often (every 10-15 minutes or so). Also consider bringing a cushion to sit on for the first week back. Take the precautions necessary to get the best result you can from your surgery. If you follow the rules early, you get a result you can enjoy forever!

After a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), it's generally recommended that you avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks to allow the fat cells to establish a proper blood supply. Sitting too soon or placing pressure on the area can interfere with the fat grafts and negatively affect the results.
During the recovery period, it's crucial to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions. If you must sit, you can use a specialized cushion or a "BBL pillow" that helps distribute your weight away from the buttocks. This will help prevent pressure from damaging the transplanted fat cells. After around 2 weeks, you may gradually begin to sit for short periods, but it’s best to continue minimizing pressure for as long as possible.
To get the best results, be sure to consult with your surgeon about your specific recovery plan and follow their advice closely.
