BBL and uncomfortable sitting /sleeping. When should the uncomfortable feeling end?

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Your complaints are quite common after this type of procedure. Your discomfort should start to ease up fairly soon. It may last for several weeks or even a few months. I would discuss the matter with your surgeon just make sure everything is okay.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic
surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has
extensive experience in buttock augmentation.



I wish you the best.



Dr. Gabbay.

Often the buttocks are sore for several weeks after a BBL. Everyone heals differently. If you feel the pain is a bit unusual or your are concerned, then I suggest getting evaluated by your doctor.

Most patients have pain to the point of needing prescription pain medication for the first few days.After that patients often feel tender for a week or two.It's not uncommon for people to feel tender for longer.Sometimes 3 to 6 weeks.Typically at six weeks the majority of swelling has settled down.The amount of fullness patients experience is based on the volume of fat placed during the procedure and where the fat has been grafted.most plastic surgeons encourage their patients to sleep on their stomach for the first several weeks. I three weeks you're probably OK sleeping on your back but you may want to check with what your plastic surgeons protocol is.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
