Today is May 3rd, At this point after reading not to sit and not to sleep on my back I felt all my money was a waste. I got a BBL on April 30th, around 7 pm. On that night i slept on my back next day (Sunday)drove 3 hours back home. next day Monday sat for at least 10 hours at my office. They only inject 450 cc in both butt. (225 cc on each butt)

Answer: Post op BBL Hi and thanks for the question. It is impossible without examining you and seeing preop photos to accurately tell if you have lost any signinifcant amount of fat. I allow patients to sit briefly on a memory foam pillow after surgery and sleep on stomach or sides. I recommend addressing this with your surgeon. Best of Luck- Dr Hardy

Answer: The loss of fat cells It's not possible to say with any level of accuracy what the impact was from you sitting on the treated area.While most plastic surgeons recommend patients don't sit on the area treated or sleep on their back there is no good scientific evidence stating what the impact of this is.The volumes you describe sound very conservative.If I was to make a guess based on very limited information I would say The relatively small volume of grafted fat may be the primary reason for not seeing substantial long term enhancements.My practice is devoted entirely to body contouring using various forms of liposuction and fat transfer.In our practice the average Brazilian butt lift requires around 2000 mL of fat.There are however cases where much less fat is transferred for various reasons.Follow up with your plastic surgeon and I have him or her address your concerns.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
