How long before you can return to work after a BBL? I have a desk job

Thanks for your question. As far as recovery is concerned, I generally tell my patients that they may return to work in 10-14 days after a Brazilian butt lift. My patients are instructed to minimize sitting for one month. If your job requires sitting, a BBL or boppy pillow can be used to take some of the weight off of the buttocks. Please always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Take Care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon

Most BBL patients are ok to go back to work at 2 weeks post op. It will depend on the type of work , amount of liposuction and combined procedures. So it can vary.

Dear Castcl23,
I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.
