Brazilian Butt Lift recovery time is dependent on how the patient’s body reacts to the procedure. Patients usually return to work after a week but you should not sit without the use of cushions for at least two weeks and you must wear a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure. You should wait until at least 2 weeks after the procedure to engage in sexual activity. Swelling and discomfort normally fades at six weeks. After about a month you will be mostly healed and you can get a nice idea of the permanent results after around six months.
As with any operation it takes time for the buttocks to feel "normal". In my experience with hundreds of BBLs most patients feel their buttocks soft and have good sensation between 6-12 weeks after the surgery. There are obviously individual differences but this period seems to fit the pattern of most patients.
