Five months post op bbl, when can I sit, without causing damage to the grafted area?

Sit. Sit down right now. Anything over 6 weeks is overkill. I make my patients avoid sitting on the grafted area for a week or so and my graft retention rate is outstanding. Fat grafting in general is very technique dependent. Some tell you not to sit for months so as to have a reason for you not getting a great result. I'm not suggesting your surgeon is one of those few surgeons who do so, I'm just saying that some of us tend to want to blame the patient for the graft failing. If your surgeon was a board certified plastic surgeon who does a ton of BBls you are in good hands. Ask him. of her, and I'm sure they will agree with me and invite you to sit.

You should be able to sit right now without causing any damage to the fat cells. If they are alive, they should remain alive. I always recommend sitting on something soft such as a pillow as you are doing. I would also recommend getting up if you are beginning to have any discomfort in your buttocks. It should otherwise be perfectly safe to sit at 5 months.
