BBL causing butt to hurt when running. How do I stop this?

Dear Angelfacedgaf,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for your question, @Angelfacedgaf. it all depends on the surgical technique used by the specialist. That's why I suggest you speak with your plastic surgeon immediately and explain what you are feeling. For the body to heal, it takes time to feel normal again, and the timeframe varies from patient to patient. Talkingng to your specialist will ensure that the pain or discomfort is taken care of.

Thank you for your question. 3 months after a BBL procedure you should be good to start exercising without any problems, if you feel your fat still is a ''foreign material'' my recommendation is to contact your surgeon and explain your situation He is your best option to know what to do in your particular case.

Hope this helps

Here are some tips that might help alleviate discomfort when running after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
1. Allow for Recovery: Make sure you’ve given your body ample time to heal after the BBL surgery before attempting strenuous exercise.2. Gradual Return to Activity: Ease back into running gradually, starting with short, low-intensity sessions and gradually increasing the intensity and duration as your body allows.3. Supportive Apparel: Consider wearing supportive compression garments during exercise to help reduce discomfort and provide support to the surgical area.4. Proper Form: Ensure that your running form is correct to minimize impact on your buttocks.5. Pain Management: If you’re experiencing significant pain, talk to your surgeon for appropriate pain management strategies.6. Follow Medical Advice: Always follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and seek their guidance on when it’s safe to resume running.
Remember, everyone’s recovery process is unique, so consult with your healthcare provider for the most tailored advice.

What you are describing is a very rare postop fat grafts to buttock or BBL complication. Only way to dx if there is a fat graft issue is in office ultrasound examination. Fee $500. Best to contact your surgeon or offices like mine.

Major body altering procedures are going to change the way your body feels and this includes exercise.
It takes time to get used to your new body and it will eventually become the new norm.
People very significantly in their ability to feel comfortable with the physical changes in their body.
It takes time and you may want to consider gradually moving into exercise you haven’t done for a while.
There isn’t much a plastic surgeon can do about your perception of your body if you’re happy with the outcome.
