Recommended Pillow for Sitting After Brazilian Butt Lift?

F
flatty2fattyApr 11, 2010

Realizing that after the BBL surgery, I would not be able to sit for approx. 2-3 weeks, is it possible to use a boppy pillow for a quick 5 minute ride in the car one week post-opt? Is there any pillow that BBL Doctors are recommending to allow you to sit for 5 to 10 minutes a day or is any type of sitting entirely off limits for 2-3 weeks? Thank you

How Long Does Brazilian Butt Lift Results Last?

Top Answer

Charleston Chua, MD

4-ever! The fat transferred to your buttocks is your own fat. As long as your weight does not fluctuate, neither will the volume of your buttocks. Drooping and sagging will still happen as it is a normal part of aging but a good BBL should last 10-20 years.
