How Can I Sit After a Brazilian Butt Lift?

It’s important to realize that fat cells are very fragile in
the immediate post-operative period. This situation doesn’t improve until these
fat cells have re-established blood supply with the surrounding tissue. In most
cases this takes about two weeks to occur. At this point fat cells become less
sensitive to the effects of pressure and are less likely to be damaged by
sitting or lying on the buttocks.For
these reasons, we limit sitting or lying on the buttocks to one hour intervals
for the first two weeks following surgery. When patients do sit in a chair they
should rest their weight on their posterior thighs away from their buttocks. In
addition they should utilize an inflatable pillow whenever possible. When
sleeping they should be on either their side or abdomen to avoid pressure on
the buttock.These
routines place obvious limitations on physical activity for post-operative
patients. Unfortunately, failure to comply with these recommendations can result
in fat cell death from pressure. This can result in contour irregularity and a
less than optimal result.

Thank you for your question. It is recommend do not sit without the pillow for one month. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Thanks for your question. You can purchase a small pillow to place underneath your thighs, which will take some of the weight off your buttocks. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
