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: 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.
