Thank you for your question! For my patients having a BBL procedure, I recommend they stay completely off of their buttocks for the first 10 days post surgery, then start using the BBL pillow for 3 additional weeks. At 6 weeks post op, there are no sitting restrictions and it is ok to sit directly on your buttocks. I recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
The best answer will come from the PS who performed your BBL as he/she will be aware of your recovery.I recommend that my patients minimize sitting, even with a pillow, for the first two weeks. If they must sit, every 30 minutes or an hour, they should get up and stand for a few seconds to take the pressure off. This reduces the chance for fat necrosis. I usually recommend about 6 weeks before sitting without a pillow. After 6 weeks the fat has revascularized, and they will have a very good idea of their final results.

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well. I recommend my patients to use the booty pillow for 2-3 weeks, and after that, to limit the sitting time to 1 hr. and then stand up to release pressure. If you have any concerns, i suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.Good luck :)

I always am happy to hear from my patients, and encourage them to call me with any worries or concerns. So, yes, call your doctor. And, secondly, don’t worry at this point. Lumps or irregularities are common. Gentle massage and time should help smooth these areas out. Best of luck!
Most surgeons will do some blood work prior to surgery, but some surgeons do not. It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen surgeon as recommendations may be different.The surgeon you select should know everything about your past medical and surgical history and be able to make a ...
A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If...
Feeling cold after liposuction is not normal. Feeling cold may indicate that you had a fever that has broken. This could be a sign of abscess or infection. Patients should also look for areas of redness, drainage or tenderness. Contact your surgeon immediately if you see or feel any of these...
Your final results are still 8-10 weeks away, so be patient. 20 percent of my BBL patients have a second procedure to gain more fullness and a tighter waist. I typically have them wait at least 4 months before thinking about a second procedure, and will also give them discounted fees for...
