My practice provides a post-op checklist encouraging patients to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein (100 grams/day) into their diets, while reducing the intake of sugars, simple carbohydrates, and saturated fats. I recommend that my patients take 100 grams of protein each day during the healing phase for the first six weeks following surgery. This protein can be in the form of manufactured premier protein shakes or optimum whey protein added to milk or water. The objective is not weight gain but promotion of healing.
Dear midwestgirl92,you will likely see your weight gain in a uniform distribution after a fat transfer to the buttock (Brazilian buttock lift).

Hello, thank you for your question. Your surgeon will likely want to work with a hematologist to make sure you're medically safe for the elective cosmetic surgery you are wanting. You can expect to be on blood-thinners after surgery.
Hello, thank you for your question. Best to ask your plastic surgeon for his/her recommendation. I recommend that my patients minimize sitting, even with a pillow (boppy or BBL), for the first two weeks. If they must sit, every 30 minutes or an hour, they should get up...
