How much activity is safe after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Question

During the recovery my mom is coming into town to visit me. I have exactly 30 days off for recovery. I know that sitting is not a option for 3-4 weeks, if not a bit longer but during week 2 would I be able to hang out with my family? Go to the mall? Out to dinner? (I won't sit on my butt) Walk around the casino a little bit while my mom plays slot machines? Haha...Go shopping?

Post-operative instructions will vary from
surgeon to surgeon.  It is best to direct
this question to your plastic surgeon and be sure to follow his or her
instructions carefully.  I have my BBL
patients stay home for the 1st week limiting their activities to relaxing,
watching tv and reading. You should avoid applying any direct pressure to the
buttock area for 2 weeks which includes sitting.  Standing and walking are fine.  By the third week you should be able to
return to normal activities but still avoiding strenuous activities such as work outs for 1 month.

In my experience all my patients start sitting on thir buttocks one week after thier butt augmentation. Druing this week they siteon their butt only temporaril and from the thired week on, there are no restrictions. You can be very active from the third week and do anything that you want to do including going into pool, etc.

William Bruno, MD · Answer

To answer your question, you can do certainly do light activity after a fat transfer to the buttock as long as you avoid direct sitting. Walking is great and promotes circulation which prevents blood clots from forming in your legs. Consult with your plastic surgeon for more specific information regarding your limitations after surgery.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

I may have a different idea about this than your surgeon.  In addition, the amount I would liposuction or transfer would likely be different as well.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts and
liposuction procedures each year.  Look for great reviews and great 
before 
and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to allow 2-4 weeks for recovery, and to wait at least 7-10 days before going back to work, but each doctor has their own protocol. 
I also recommend not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. It is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
