When can I sit after a BBL?

Very good question Noelia. It will depend on your surgeon but in my case I like patients to wait, or at least avoid direct sitting for about 3 - 4 weeks. After that it is always best to try to aviod pressure by sitting on the upper part of your thighs. Patients can use a Booty Buddy or any other post bbl pillow immediately, without a problem. Sitting up straight, with good poster puts most your weight on your thighs. This means you can actually avoid pressure on your BBL by sitting on your thighs more often. This is good idea if you need to sit for long periods of time at work and cannot take your bbl pillow with you. In the end, the more you avoid pressure on your butt the better.Best of luck,Dr. Miguel Mota

Hello noeliatorres40,It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! In my experience, patients who successfully avoid sitting or putting pressure on their buttocks or stretching for the first 8 weeks after surgery are much more likely to have long-lasting results than patients who fail to follow this advice. Putting pressure on your buttocks by sitting down or laying on it, especially for long periods of time, can stiffen, deform and even cause the transplanted fat cells to reabsorb. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.
