Answer: No results There is no standard for how long not to apply pressure on the fat grafts ( ie sitting) but at least 2 weeks is minimum but 4 to 6 weeks is better. Early sitting will decrease the survival of the fat grafts and less of a result. The other factors are how much fat was transferred, how active you were in the early post operative period (too active decreases results), and too much skin laxity will decrease results ( may need skin excision-- body lifting procedures). It is important to note that when a tummy tuck is done, the best position is to sit. If fat graft transfers to the buttocks are done at the same time, this will decrease the results of the buttocks.

Answer: If it didn't work the first time? If your BBL did not work the first time, you want to make sure that it was done right. How much fat was transferred? Do you now have enough fat? Have you considered a buttocks implant if you don't have enough fat. We perform tummy tucks and buttock implants simultaneously. Can you post a photo of your before and after?
