How long until I can sit after butt implants? (Photo)

Most surgeons will recommend that pressure not be placed on the buttocks for 2 to 4 weeks after surgery.

Thank you
very much for your question and photograph. In general, it is recommended that
patients avoid putting direct pressure on their buttocks for three to four
weeks after a butt augmentation procedure. This includes sitting directly on
your bottom and sleeping on your back. However, every surgeon has their own
protocol, and their recovery instructions will vary based on the patient and
the specific technique used. For the safest and most satisfying results, I
recommend speaking with your operating surgeon and closely following their
post-op instructions.

I usually do not allow my patients to sit on their buttocks for at least 3 weeks.  You should check with your surgeon.
