I am super clumsy, and I fear if I get a BBL and for instance bump my buttocks it will ruin my results. Could hitting my buttocks after a BBL affect the results? When will I not have to worry about this after 1 week or longer?
Answer: Will hitting my butt after a BBL affect results? Hello @Ngon2464, thank you for your question. Is likely that the act of hitting your butt after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) won't affect results if there is no trauma or significant force applied. The BBL procedure involves transferring fat from other parts of your body to fill and reshape the buttocks area, so what we want is the fat to implant and survive where it was seeded. Best wishes!

Answer: Hitting Your Buttocks During a BBL Recovery Thank you for your question regarding whether hitting your buttock after a BBL affects the results. It could affect your BBL results if you frequently hit your buttock in the same place multiple times. I do not think you are clumsy enough to have this happen. If you bump your buttocks once or twice after the BBL it should not ruin your results or leave indentations. If you are careful especially in the first two weeks, you should be out of the woods in terms of leaving any permanent indentations. I would suggest a minimal activity, and when you are out and about, I would suggest you have somebody help you move around during your recovery. I hope this helps answer your question regarding whether hitting your buttock after a BBL affects the results.

Answer: It is important to be as careful as possible! When undergoing a brazilian butt lift, I always advise my patients to be extremely cautious along the areas where fat has been grafted in order to avoid excess fat loss. My postoperative protocol is no sitting for 2 weeks following surgery and no sleeping on your back for 6 weeks. It is always important to consult your plastic surgeon for the correct protocol to follow after your BBL. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine the best rules to follow after surgery.

Answer: Compression and Trauma to the Fat grafting area After an operation, such as Fat grafting to the buttocks, the best thing is to avoid trauma and compression to areas that have received the fat. What we do know about Fat grafting is, that compression can compromise the blood flow to this grafted site, and therefore decrease the amount of fat that remains. I would follow closely the instructions you received from your board-certified plastic surgeon regarding postoperative compression. We recommend six weeks of no compression to the area that received fat and six weeks of compression to the area from which we took the fat. This seems like a long time, however, we hope this provides the best results. We are happy to help in any way we can.
