I have read most doctors recommend being able to sit anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks after a BBL. Is it safe after the 8 week mark to sit for extended periods of time and work out as normal? If you workout legs and glutes should you take it easy at first? My question is can you resume life as normal or should you slowly ease into working out hardcore and sitting for extended periods of time. Thank you! Looking forward to getting some quotes for the procedure.

Answer: Sitting And Exercising After A BBL Thanks for your question. In a Brazilian butt lift, fat is transferred from various parts of the body to the buttocks to re-shape and augment the buttocks. After the procedure, it is crucial to minimize or avoid sitting for prolonged periods. The reason is that the fat has not integrated to your tissues so the buttocks may flatten or loose projection. Further, sitting causes trauma to the newly placed fat so the process of blood vessel ingrowth, which is necessary for fat survival, may be disrupted. So I recommend that my patients minimize sitting for one month. If you have a sitting job, you can use a bbl or boppy pillow to minimize the trauma from sitting. But one should still minimize sitting if possible. After one month, I allow my patients to sit regularly although many continue to avoid it for several weeks. I recommend for my patients to postpone exercise until after 4 weeks and easing back into your exercise routine. Always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Recovery after bbl its not recommended to make too much pressure on to the fat injection areas which is butt in bbl surgery. for that reason we do recommend to use a bbl pillow after the operation in order to reduce the pressure. sitting is never dangerous but its improper to sit directly on the injected fat cells. always its better to improve the exercise capacity slowly day by day

Answer: Recovery protocol. I suggest scheduling several in person consultations for the local board-certified plastic surgeons. Because each surgeon has their own postoperative protocol it makes little sense to review all the different variables since the only one that matters is from the surgeon who will do your procedure. Regardless of what my protocol is you should follow the recommendations of the surgeon who does your procedure.
