How long is the recovery period of butt reduction surgery?

You should plan on at least 5 days off from work after your liposuction.  You can resume sitting as soon as it is comfortable, which will be approximately 5 days.  You might want to consider a BBL pillow to take some of the pressure/pain off the area when you do return.  Good luck!

Your plastic surgeon will have specific guidelines for your post-op recovery following liposuction. Your buttocks may be tender following surgery, which may impact how you sit. Some patients may adjust the way they sit to avoid discomfort and it will likely be advised not to sit for long periods of time right after surgery. In terms of time off work, it will depend on what type of work you do and how well you heal. If you have an office type job, you may only need a few days to one week off. Please check with your doctor for his/her protocol following liposuction of the buttocks. 

You should be able to sit on your butt immediately after liposuction.  It is not the same as when you and the BBL. Good luck.

To reduce the size of the buttock after BBL, it is important to wait till all swelling and healing has taken place. Then decide based on the quality of the skin and the amount of liposuction needed. You do not want to end up with a droopy buttocks.Recovery from the liposuction to reduce the buttock size is fairly quick. You should be back to normal within a week. Make sure you are making the right decision, and choosing the surgeon who understands what you want to achieve and take the buttock aesthetics in consideration when performing the liposuction.

 The time to recover varies from patient to patient.Having add these procedures in the past you probably have as good of an idea as anyone in terms of how long it takes to recover. The main difference will be that there should be les restrictions in regards to sitting on your bottom after liposuction as opposed to fat transfer.  Using a pillow took place most of the weight on the back of the flies instead of buttocks helps while sitting. Because this is a revision liposuction procedure  my guess is it will be tolerated easier than the liposuction you had for your Brazilian. It can be an anatomically more challenging place to heal because of sitting.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.

I'm sorry to hear about your problem.  It should be a relatively easy liposuction procedure to remove some of the excess fat.  This procedure should take approximately an hour to perform, could be done on an outpatient basis and if do well you could probably return to work within the week.  Check with your surgeon as to how long they would want you to wait before sitting for long periods of time.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
