Having BBL on hip dips and flat spot on upper bum. Can you sit down any sooner if you are having less work done?

Question

I am scheduled for a 360 lipo and BBL. The BBL is just for roundness (I have 2 noticeable flat spots on my upper posterior) and my hip dips. I have fullness underneath that I'm not having altered. My question is will I be able to sit any sooner than those that are getting an all-around fluffing?

Thank you for your question. Every doctor has their own recovery protocol, so I would follow their recommendations. Personally, I do not recommend my patients to sit on the buttocks for two weeks, and then after that, only with a pillow. I'm sure you doctor would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Good luck.

Thank you for your questions. Every surgeon has a different post-op protocol for this type of thing. Make sure you are seeing the right surgeon, and then the best advice is to follow his or her post-op protcol.

Best of luck!

Dear Fabulous756090,
I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.
