I am exactly 14days post op from brazilian butt lift, liposuction of the abdomen, inner thighs, flanks and I still feel like my butt is going to explode when I attempt to sit down. I'm an RN and no one at work knew that I had something done. I'm supposed to be back at work today Dec 6 and luckily my manager approved my LOA for another 11days, meaning I'm back to work on Dec 17th. I'm just nervous that I may still be in pain at the time and still not able to drive. Is there anyone having the same problem? I'm really worried now, I just want to be back to my normal life routine and I'm at the point where I'm regretting having this procedure done.

Do you mean, you feel that way when you sit with something behind your thighs? I am 3 weeks & 4 days post op but I drive everyday. Are you sitting on your actual butt already? Just curious....

I'm a petite woman and only had 200cc injected into my butt. I like my results so far, it's not too noticeable but sure looks better than before. I feel the pain on my butt. When did you start driving?

Hi dear, most surgeons advise patients not to sit directly on their Butt until a minimum of one month post op as it will both be uncomfortable and kill the fat cells. Most ppl sit with a pillow or rolled up yoga mat under their thighs so that no pressure is put directly on the buttocks when sitting. These pillows r used both while driving and sitting on chairs. The most popular is the semi circle boppy pillow

Hi posicle123! I am an RN too and I am 6 days post op and I feel great! I already started driving on day 5 (yesterday) and I did not have nay problems. I love my booty so far! I stopped taking the percocetts on day three and my pain is minimal, driving was no sweat and I was walking around all day yesterday :)

I am now 3 weeks post-op from bbl and liposuction of flanks, abdomen & thighs. I am able to drive with pillow on my back and soft pillow under my butt. Still, not 100% recovered though meaning I still feel some discomfort when I sit down, I have to sit a certain way.

3 weeks post-op from BBL and liposuction continuation...

When I went to see my PS on Dec 10th, I started draining on my right buttock on the incision sight. I was alarmed because I thought it was a pus but the drainage is thin and greasy (yellowish/whitish in color) and my PS said that I might've developed fat necrosis on my right buttock and its draining oil. I also developed I believe is a seroma on the lateral side of my thigh close to the incision site. He aspirated the seroma and got about 2cc of oil and my pain was relieved afterwards.

I really regret having a BBL done and wished I should've stuck with my initial plan to only have a liposuction done. I am slowly recovering still and yes my PS is being helpful and wants to see me every week to see how I am recovering.

Hello dear, I was just checking to see how you like your results 8 months later. I'm having a BBL with Dr. mofid next week. Thank you!

How are you recovering? Dr. Mofid and his staff is very helpful. Unfortunately, my BBL didn't work for me and it is something that is very hard to achieve. I should've done a lot of research before getting a BBL done and should've done with an expert in BBL.

Hello im having a oily draining on both my cheeks..... im 10 days post op

How was your recovery and did you get what you wanted from BBL?
August 5, 2021
Due to fat necrosis, I didn't get what I wanted. The BBL was not successful with Dr. Mofid.
