My surgeon performed liposuction on my waist & flanks, a BBL+ breast aug on me 5 days ago. I was advised it was ok to sit down on my buttocks, however I should try to minimize it but was given no special cushion or after care considering I can’t lay on my stomach either, I’ve been struggling to find a way to sleep properly but no luck so far. I was also told that lifting my buttocks is not possible when I thought that was the whole point of a BBL?
Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift You should wait at least 2 weeks before sitting without a support cushion and sleeping on your back. Sitting with no support too soon can harm the newly moved fat cells.

Answer: I sat down non stop after BBL. Is this a problem? (Photo) 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.

Answer: BBL results Dear jsjsjsjksjsjs,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.Daniel Barrett, MD
