Butt shrinking 3 months post bbl.

Question

Today is my 3 month post op for bbl. last week I took pictures and my butt was round. Today I took pictures again and my butt was really flat. I sit at work but always on my pillow: the only difference is last Saturday I was at a cookout and didn't have my pillow. I sat on me off for about 6 hrs. Is this just temporary or is my butt gone forever. I'm literally in tears right now.

Thank you for your question. The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells. You are likely seeing changes as a result of decreasing swelling.  After surgery there is a predictable swelling process that mostly resolves over two months, when the final result really settles in.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

Sitting or applying pressure to the buttocks 3 months out from surgery will not affect your permanent result. It is normal for there to be volume loss ~30-50% of the volume infected over the first 3-6 months after your surgery. This will happen whether you sit on it or not.
