How long is the recovery period for lipo 360/BBL? When is it safe to sit down
Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It typically takes 2 weeks to recover from a 360 Lipo and BBL procedure. It is safe to sit also around the 2 week point. Every surgeon has their own preferences and you should check with your board certified plastic surgeon to help guide you.
Dear ncrk4524,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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
