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.

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. Remember that each doctor has their own protocol, it is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
