Is there any scientific fact that says sitting on your but after a BBL will kill the fat?
Answer: Sitting on fat The evidence for or against sitting on your butt and survival of grafted fat after a BBL is anecdotal. There are no double blind controlled randomized studies that settle this question. Surgeons vary in recommending how long one cant sit after a brazillian butt lift. There is agreement on not sitting in the first two weeks, but some suggest keeping the area pressure free for a longer time. In my experience it's ok to sit on a BBL after 2 weeks, but I can't prove it. See a board certified plastic surgeon, who operates at a certified facility and does a ton of Brazilian butt lifts and you'll be in good hands. Good luck.

Answer: No evidence for it... Sitting on your butt pushes out the blood out of the area. Since the circulating blood brings in the oxygen that makes you fat cells live, it makes sense not to sit on it. However, there are no published guidelines or evidence that tell us how long we can sit. I tell patients that sitting for a short periods of time is fine but that every 15-30 minutes they should stand up or shift positions to make sure the blood is circulating and that is getting the oxygen it needs.

Answer: BBL and fat survival Thank you for your question. No evidence in the fat not surviving from sitting after a BBL. Not to our knowledge.

Answer: Buttock fat and sitting No, I do not know anything in the literature that can prove that sitting is bad for the fat, or if it is, when is the right time to allow for it. I do know that skin grafts get blood supply within about 5 days. Fat injected is surrounded by a lot of soft tissue that can provide nutrients. I usually have patient avoid sitting for about 2 weeks. Some surgeons say 6 weeks. Obviously bathroom function requires sitting.
