How long is the recovery time when you get a BBL?

Thank you for question. Every surgeon has a different recovery
protocol so it is best to talk with your plastic surgeon about what
he/she recommends for you. After 2 weeks you should be fine to work but you will most likely be sore, so listen to your body and don't push yourself. In general, I advise my patients not to
sit on their rear ends at all for the first week. After then they may
sit for short periods of time with a pillow under your legs above the
knee for 8 weeks and some patients use a special BBL pillow to alleviate
pressure on the buttocks. I would not recommend sitting
normally without a pillow for 8 weeks. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Healing after a brazilian butt lift is usually pretty straight forward.  There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery.  The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. Most patients can return to their normal activities after a week of surgery although this varies from patient to patient. Best is to follow your surgeon's recovery instructions.
