Hi, it is important to consult your surgeon regarding sitting on your buttocks after surgery. However, in my practice, I typically allow my patients to sit on their buttocks after four weeks. Best of luck with your healing.

Thank you for your question! After a BBL procedure, it is recommended to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for the first 10 days and then use a BBL pillow for an additional 3 weeks. At 6 weeks post-op, there are no sitting restrictions, and it is safe to sit directly on your buttocks. It is important to discuss specific post-operative instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

It is recommended to use a booty pillow for 2-3 weeks after surgery and limit sitting time to one hour, followed by standing up to release pressure. Regular follow-up with the plastic surgeon is advised.
