Would riding in a UTV be too much 3 months post op BBL?

Hello @Honest618945, thank you for your question. I suggest you follow your specialist recommendations, this is because it depends of multiple things among other the doctor's surgical technique. Generally, I recommend to wait 6 months to my patients for activities that can have risk of impact. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Honest618945,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Three months postoperative care following a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a critical period during which the body is still healing and the newly transferred fat cells are establishing blood supply and integrating into the surrounding tissues. It's important to follow your plastic surgeon's guidelines for recovery to optimize the results and reduce the risk of complications.Riding in a UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) involves sitting, and during the early stages of BBL recovery, plastic surgeons often recommend avoiding prolonged periods of sitting directly on the buttocks. Prolonged pressure on the buttocks can potentially impact the fat grafts, affecting their survival and integration.That being said, every patient's recovery is unique, and your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific postoperative instructions based on your individual case. Some plastic surgeons may allow patients to resume certain activities, including sitting, earlier than others, depending on the surgical technique used and their experience with BBL recovery.Before engaging in any activities that involve sitting, it's crucial to consult with your plastic surgeon. They will assess your healing progress, provide guidance, and let you know when it is safe to resume normal activities, including sitting for extended periods.Remember to communicate openly with your plastic surgeon, follow their recommendations diligently, and prioritize your recovery to achieve the best possible results from your BBL procedure.

At three months, you should be all healed up and your results will be final. At that point you should be able to engage in whatever activity you want to.
Best,
