Thank you for your question. I do NOT recommend aggressive rubbing nor deep massaging after fat grafting to the buttock, the so-called Brazilian Butt Lift. Fat cells need a relatively immobile environment for the new blood vessels to grow into them. That process takes 7-10 days so the first 10 days are crucial. Too much movement or pressure could jeopardize this physiological process. Review with your surgeon the post-op instructions. In cases where buttock implants were used instead of fat grafting, gentle caresses and rubbing are possible. See our video on buttock implants and body implants. Best of luck!

I am glad your husband likes your results. No, this will not affect your results at all. Rubbing is ok, deep massage should be avoided.
Rubbing of the butt is unlikely to kill the fat. However, a very vigorous massage or sustained direct pressure can kill the fat. Be careful for at least the first 6 weeks.
Every surgeon has a different post-op regimen. Gentle massage after surgery should be of no consequence. I recommend not to vigorously massage the area for the first 6 weeks after surgery. Talk to your surgeon on your next follow-up.

Hello dear! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. It depends on your personal goal. Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape....
I recommend stopping the DMSO. It should not have any effect on your breast implants, but is probably doing little for you swelling at this point. Speak to your surgeon.
