Considering most doctors say absolutely no sitting, how does one sit to poop after a BBL? Does affect results? Is there something that can be purchased to avoid pressure?
Answer: Sitting down on toilet after BBL Great question! For the small amount of time required to evacuate your bowels, you will not damage or affect the results of the BBL. However, if you are sitting on the toilet and nothing is coming out after a few minutes, then get up and try again later.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai

Answer: Sitting after BBL Dear goldeverythinggg,you should avoid long-term pressure on your buttocks. 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. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery

Answer: Will sitting down to poop after a BBL affect results? No, you will not harm your results. One of these options may keep you from applying pressure to your hips or buttocks. If you have a sturdy grab bar by the toilet, hold on to it. If you can squat, purchase a raised toilet seat with rails. Be careful not to fall in using either option. Ask your plastic surgeon, but an over the counter stool softener should be fine.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Toilet after BBL Check with your surgeon. I advise my patients to sit on the toilet like normal after BBL surgery, because the time spent sitting is very short. However, you are advised to avoid sitting otherwise.

Answer: Toilet use after BBL Thanks for your question. The rule of thumb right after BBL is to avoid sitting as much as possible for a few weeks. If you have to go then you have to go but avoid sitting for a long period of time and not too much pressure. The pain medication can make you constipated so make sure you have some over-the-counter laxative handy. All the best!
