I am worried about the sitting after the surgery, I go to school and I can only take a week off. Is that enough time, or is there anything I can buy (like a pillow or something) that will make it easier for me to be in class and drive my car?
Answer: Sitting Limited For 2 Weeks 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.

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift Brazilian Butt Lift recovery time is dependent on how the patient’s body reacts to the procedure. Patients usually return to work after a week but you should not sit without the use of cushions for at least two weeks and you must wear a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure. You should wait until at least 2 weeks after the procedure to engage in sexual activity. Swelling and discomfort normally fades at six weeks. After about a month you will be mostly healed and you can get a nice idea of the permanent results after around six months.
