Will getting a deep tissue or Swedish massage in your whole body including buttocks affect your BBL and kill your new fat cells?

leona33Apr 2, 2019
I got a masssage in my whole body including buttocks because I was sore from working out not thinking anything since it’s been four months I had my bbl and all of my pain is completely gone. Afterwards I started to over think it and goggled it but couldn’t find an answer. I reached out to my dr and he said 6 months post op is when I am allowed to do a massage to buttocks. I’m really worried I may have damaged my booty or killed fat. What can I do at this point?

Hello db3709, It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Because VASER Liposuction incisions are very small (of less than 1 centimeter in length), the scars are also small and are usually placed in hidden areas. The amount of degree of scarring depends on the plastic surgeon’s technique and you...

Both terms are used to describe the same procedure. The true medical term would be fat transfer to the buttock. Some surgeons change the name of the procedures for marketing purposes or to differentiate themselves.#StayBeautiful #RealDrWorldWide

Hi Jasbella The key issue is not impeding the blood supply to the fat until it has ‘taken’. Pressure on the buttock will decrease the blood supply so i get my patients to avoid sitting and lying on the back for 2 weeks. One week would be the absolute minimum but there may be some fat cells at ...

Dear lilyhernandez83, in most cases 30-50% of transferred fat will be lost. 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...

Dear Mandax86, Absolutely! Building your gluts is a great way to enhance your buttock region and I recommend to all of my BBL patients. It not only ads volume to the buttocks but lifts the buttocks in a more anatomic position.  Every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative...

Great question!  You need to wear a garment which will decrease fluid buildup, decrease swelling, and help contour the areas of liposuction.  A waist trainer is great for the torso region.  If you had liposuction of your thighs or arms then you would need compression garments here...
