When is sitting without a BBL pillow ok for a BBL (no restrictions to daily sitting)?

Every physician has their own post-operative instructions post BBL procedures. Generally, most surgeons require 4 weeks of non weight bearing (sitting) post BBL procedures. The longer you restrict sitting on your buttocks, the better the permanent blood supply forms and the less fat absorption occurs.

Each provider will have their own set of postoperative instructions, and these will vary from providers provider. If you haven’t chosen a provider, then I suggest putting in a significant effort in the selection process of choosing the best provider. During that process, postoperative instructions should be reviewed during the consultation. At that time you can ask first hand, the specific limitations and recommendations from each provider, and these were very.
It would be inappropriate for us to give you recommendations that are different, or contrary, to what your provider would recommend.
There’s a little scientific evidence, the changing postop of protocols has any impact on final results.Most providers will recommend patient engage in light activity as soon as possible after the procedure. Most plastic surgeons also recommend minimizing pressure for access mobility in areas treated with fat transfer. The extent of these restrictions vary substantially, depending on the belief and philosophy of each provider.
Patients should follow the protocols and recommendations of the provider they choose to do the procedure.
Delivering consistent quality, liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people realize. There is major variation in approach, skill, philosophy and competence among board-certified plastic surgeons for this procedure. Being board-certified and plastic surgery with years of experience does not mean somebody has mastered any one single procedure, especially when it comes to Liposuction and fat transfer. Doing these procedures, well is more difficult than most people recognize.
Poorly done, Liposuction, and fed transfer can be extremely difficult and often not possible to improve upon me. Because there’s so much variation in skill and experience with these procedures patient should be more selective than anything necessary when it comes to finding the right provider.
Suggest patient start the process, but having multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons, who seem to have a lot of experience with the procedure. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up your portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients, who had similar body characteristics to your own. Being shown a handful of preselected images, representing the best results of the providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of an average results look like in the hands of each provider or how many procedures they’ve actually done. When it comes to reviewing the fed transfer results, make sure that after pictures were taken at least 3 to 6 months after the procedure. Early fat transfer results can look very impressive but do not represent final results.
For reference and experience plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing in the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Look through pictures very carefully to make sure they are showing you representative pictures who have similar characteristics to your own body style. It helps to have pictures of your own body, taking the same way a plastic surgeon to take before and after pictures and bring those with you whenever reviewing before and after pictures. Look carefully to make sure they were skin contour irregularities in any of the treated areas. Make sure you know exactly what areas the surgeon is planning on treating and exactly what is included and what is not included with the Liposuction.
The interpretation of how a BBL should be done varies dramatically from provider to provider. Make sure that their interpretation of what the female figure should look like corresponds with what you find desirable. A shortage of before, and after pictures should be a major red flag.
There’s no correct number of consultations needed to find the best provider. The more consultation, someone schedules, the more likely they are to find the right provider. As a general statement, I recommend patients consider starting by having at least five in person consultations before scheduling surgery. When, in doubt, slow down and schedule more consultations.
