The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures at My Cosmetic Surgery in Miami. It’s known for sculpting and naturally enhancing the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. A common question we hear is: When can I sit after a BBL?
Why You Should Avoid Sitting After a BBL
Experts recommend avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks for at least 15 days after surgery. Sitting too soon could damage the newly transferred fat cells, affecting your results.
Ideal Sleeping Positions Post-BBL
During the first few days, sleep on your stomach or side. These positions minimize pressure on your treated area, protecting your results and aiding in a smoother recovery.
When Can You Start Sitting After a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Between days 15 and 30 after your BBL, you can gradually begin sitting using a special BBL cushion. This cushion helps reduce impact and preserves your enhanced shape.
Essential Tips for a Smooth Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery
Avoid Smoking and Certain Medications
Avoid smoking at least one month before and after surgery to boost your healing process. Also, steer clear of blood-thinning medications to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Wear Your Compression Garment Correctly
Wearing your compression garment as prescribed is crucial:
- Full-time during the first month
- 12 hours daily during the second month
- 4 hours daily during the third month
Schedule Lymphatic Massages
At My Cosmetic Surgery in Miami, we offer post-operative lymphatic massages. These massages speed up your recovery and enhance your overall results.
