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

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!

Thank you for your question. This will depends on your PS post op recommendations. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hello, thank you for your question. I recommend you to ask any question to your plastic surgeon, since every surgeon has a different postoperative protocol.

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.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol. It is very important that you talk to him about your concerns and goals. I recommend my patients not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. If you have any concerns, I suggest you follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

You should follow your doctor’s postoperative instructions. If you don’t have them reach out to your plastic surgeon and ask them to Forward their standard postoperative instructions for you now.

It doesn’t matter what our protocol is. What matters is what your doctor recommends that you do.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
