Can too much daily activity damage the fat cells 2 wks. post BBL?

Dear selfie15,I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.It is unlikely that working in the house will have a significant negative effect on your results. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thank you for your question. The best person to advice you is your specific surgeon as every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. Normally, patients can return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery.  We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery. 

Hello dear!!
Thank you for the question and provided information as well.
Based on the recommendations for my patients 3 weeks is enough time to recover, it also will depend on the type of work you do when you return to your normal routine. Be patient and always follow your surgeon's instructions.
Good luck :)

I usually allow my patients the ability to do light duty at about this point.   You should ask your surgeon as we are all a bit different.

Dear Selfie,It is hard to give an accurate answer, but daily house work at two weeks should not really negatively impact the final results.  As to why the right side appears smaller, hard to say if the fat has absorbed or just that the swelling is going away faster on that side.  You should ask your surgeon for their input.  I allow patients to resume daily activity at 2 weeks and gym at 4 weeks.good luck with your continued recovery.Dr T
