I got the whole "no sitting" for 3 weeks. I'm flying to Miami for my procedure. I want to maintain as much fat as possible and my surgeon has thoroughly explain to expect approximate 30% absorption. Im staying in Miami for 10 days and taking a 2hr flight with a 1hr 30 min layover then a 50 min flight back home to recover for the remaining 3 weeks. Will the sitting time with a doughnut for my flights drastically reduce my desired results?
Answer: Should you sit on a Doughnut after the Brazilian Butt Lift?
Absolutely not.... in my opinion.
It's very obvious, there are very different opinions as to what is the "best" recommendation for Brazilian Butt Lift patients.
First of all, I DO NOT recommend flying 10 days after having the Brazilian Butt Lift. I do not believe it is the best thing for your fat cells, nor do I believe it is as safe for patient's overall health regarding the risk of developing Blood Clots.
I have to also Strongly Disagree with the idea of using a Doughnut!!! The doughnut was designed to relieve pressure from the anus and perineum areas for patients with hemorrhoids or who have had surgeries in this area. It does this by placing additional pressure on your buttocks cheeks! That's exactly what we are trying to avoid! That makes no sense whatsoever to me. I have performed this procedure for about 14 years and have never, and would never recommend someone sit on a doughnut after this surgery.

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

Answer: AVOID TRAVELING THE FIRST 8 WEEKS AFTER BBL SURGERY. Hello Bronzedasian, I appreciate your questions! Plastic surgeons have different post-operative protocols, customized for every patient, to achieve the best results. I typically suggest my patients to avoid traveling at least the first 8 weeks after Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery. Putting pressure on your buttocks by sitting down or laying on it, especially for long periods of time, can stiffen, deform and even cause the resorption of the newly transplanted fat cells. In the case you can’t absolutely elude getting in a plane, I’d recommend you either using your post-operative BBL surgery support cushion or sitting in a modified position, placing a bolster or rolled-up towel under the back of the thighs while sitting down, as to avoid significant pressure. Moreover, your plastic surgeon may prescribe you an anti-coagulant medication to prevent a deep venous thrombosis when you travel. Consult with your plastic surgeon abut your specific needs and concerns. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

Answer: Brazilian butt lift and traveling
Traveling after a Brazilian butt lift is certainly acceptable, but you need to take a few things into consideration. Results will not be compromised if you follow these recommendations.
Do not use a doughnut cushion, this will not provide the necessary pressure relief to protect the newly implanted fat cells. I recommend a cigar-shape cushion under the thighs. This cushion will lift your buttocks and will avoid pressure on them.
Walk a few times toward the bathroom. This will stretch your legs and pump your blood, which helps avoid clots.
If traveling, stay in the area where you are having your surgery for at least 10-14 days.
