Still scared to sit at 6.5 weeks post op
$9,700
I know it is safe to sit now but I'm still scared to sit. I'm afraid if I sit I will end up losing more fat and all of this would be for nothing and I'll go back to having nothing. If at 6 months is your real results does that mean maybe we shouldn't fully go back to sleeping on out backs and sitting ok our butts till then?? Has anyone felt scared to sit as well but then realized it was silly?

I have had a bbl and my butt is still huge. I didn't have it with dr Volpe he did my breast and HE IS AMAZING, that being said if he says you can sit now, I think your fine. After having surgery and living in it day to day you start to get use to your results so they don't seem as big as you originally thought. You look great!

Thank you! I'm so paranoid because it seems like I'm losing volume but you are right about getting used to our results

Keep wearing your faja doctors here don't say to wear them as long, but that helps hold your shape if it gets loose buy another one online smaller. You love your results!

Hey! Did people at work notice you had something done? Or were you able to say you've been working out? I'm kind of panicked right now. My results are so dramatic, it doesn't look natural at all. I know it's swelling and I have to chill out lol, but I can't help it. My hip measurements went up 11inches! When did you stop wearing those lipo foams inside the garment?

My results weren't dramatic. Ppl just say I look great. I told you i wish i had more projection. At first it was really wide but after a week or so it went down a lot

I wore the foam for a few weeks around my waist because the garment was cutting into my sides

I am coming up on my 3 Month post op And I sleep On my stomach 80% of the night. I shift only to my sides temporarily to give me a little break. But honestly, I find more comfort Sleeping on my stomach anymore...weird!

Almost 5 weeks on 8/11
My butt sometimes looks higher. Saw the surgeon last week and everything looks good. I still have pain and swollen mostly around my waist and bra line. Haven't really sat yet. The pain is tolerable. Headaches are gone. The doctor said I could start sitting after Thursday but I might wait until 6 weeks. I miss sitting and sleeping normally but scared to lose anymore fat

3 weeks and 2 days. I want to start sitting but Afraid
So far I like my results. Most of the swelling has gone down. Butt still a little hard. My waist and abdomen is still very tender. I'm afraid of losing more fat. Overall the only time I sit is when I'm using the bathroom. I use the BBL pillow which isn't very comfortable but does the trick for a little while. I read conflicting reports that you only really need to be careful the first 2 weeks other say 6 weeks. Any BBL veterans out there have any thoughts?

My PS says no sitting or laying on your back for ATLEAST 6 weeks. The galz with the best results have waited longer then 6 weeks. I plan to as well.

I'm at 8 weeks now and I'm still hesitant to sit, but have started to. At this point the fat should have stabilized I'd hope, but am afraid that it is the wrong decision
I don't think that sounds silly at all, I'd feel the same way especially after not being able to sit for so long.
