When can I sit on my butt after a BBL?

[@rebeccabroughton9834]

I am 3 days post op, the time is 3am and I am feeling sorry myself. The idea of sleeping on my stomach and not sitting for weeks/months is depressing. I started to regret having the surgery, but then I stumbled across your video and I feel so much better. I’m writing this comment as I lay on my side and I am infinitely more comfortable. Tonight I will sleep! I will start laying on my back as my confidence grows. I am eternally grateful that you took the time to record this video, Dr. Morales. You are saving so many people from a miserable recovery.

[@rockywheelwright7839]

Dr Morales is 100% correct. I watched this video before my BBL, which I had 9 months ago. I sat right after my BBL using a boppy pillow (for comfort), and my BBL results have stayed the same throughout my recovery. I haven’t lost any volume or shape. I slept on my back and on my side, again using a pillow under my back and legs just for comfort. I drove in my car 3 days after surgery, I sat to eat, to work… again no problems. His advice is correct.

So glad I found this video to confirm what my own doctor has told me. It’s not very common to hear this perspective from doctors in the US. My doctor is very casual about the BBL fat transfer and pretty much gave me no rules in that regard. Having a BA/BL in combo makes it hard to sleep any way but elevated and on my butt. Been using a boppy pillow while I sleep but have been starting to stress more that I’m ruining my results when listening to almost any other doctor than my own. So crazy how much difference of opinion there is between doctors. It’s really causes patients lots of anxiety when opinions vary so widely amongst practitioners…

I will say, I only sat on it when I absolutely had to sit. Let me say this, Dr. Morales is by far the most personable yet honest Doctor I’ve ever met… he was so patient with me throughout my process and his kindness seriously still brings to tears especially since I was dealing with my family emergency the day of surgery. I went to another Doctor prior to Dr. Morales and he could care less about what my goal was… he insulted me, stepped out so I could change for less than two minutes and had to ask his assistant what I was there for again 😳 I’m like sir… I can hear you! For him it was a numbers game, for Dr. Morales it’s about getting your input, he will give his and we will meet somewhere in the middle as a team.

Have You Noticed A Difference?

[@madidiamondhands]

I'm 4 days post. The doctor put fat not where I wanted it in my lower hip close to my thigh and instead in the upper hip where I did NOT want it. When I reached out about the area I wanted noy filled in they said it was too early to see my final results and that I was just very swollen and I needed to let it heal. That was a couple weeks ago. I hated the way my body looked so I decided to lay on my hips to "kill the fat" that was transfered and I can honestly say that the only difference that happened is that the area softened faster but the fat was not dissolved. My hips are still huge 😪 I also started sitting on hard surfaces about a week ago. Leaning forward because I don't feel any pressure on my butt anymore, it feels like I'm sitting on my bbl pillow. I wont sit on soft surfaces because that would put pressure all over my butt and it still hurts to the touch with minor pressure so I will avoid sofr surfaces or laying on it until it fully heals. Just saying, I think this doc is correct because I put it to the test.

[@RolandoMoralesJr]

thanks for the honesty!

[@Che2Beauty]

Omg Dr. Morales from when I woke up at like 3 something this morning I could not stop watching your videos prior to watching other videos. I am today one in recovery from lipo 360 BBL and is so miserable laying on my stomach. You are right every Doc got their recommendations but it make so much sense and science that if your going to be sitting 🪑 on hard surfaces for a long period of time then that would make a difference. And I agree a soft surface or using a soft pillow of some sort for comfort would not change the outcome of your results. So Dr. Morales thank you for bringing the light back into my life because she is laying on her back and getting a week worth of well needed 😴 sleep!!!!! Thank you 🙏

He doesn't know how long I was sitting but it was probably a few minutes at best. I've been freaked out ever since until seeing this video. It makes sense because I have Googled & Googled this & haven't found one instance where anyone said sitting prematurely ruined their results.

How much will smoking cigarettes affect the results of a bbl?

[@RolandoMoralesJr]

it increases risk of infection. and more importantly decreases how many fat cells survive. the grafted fat cells need blow flow. nicotine in cigarettes decrease blood flow to tissue. so less blood flow to the tissue means less fat survives. stop smoking to get better results.

Im 12 weeks and 2 days post op..I still havnt sat on my butt yet. I sleep on my stomach every night. I want to try and sit on my butt but im scared. My butt isn't as big as I wanted it. He only put like 400 cc I think it is in each butt cheek but doctor said my skin is thick and he couldn't put anymore fat in it. But overall my bitt is better looking then before.

ok. wishing you a quick recovery!

[@Zallfa]

Thank you very much dear dr. From Iran❤️🙏

[@Mariaisartnfit]

Thank you so much for addressing this topic. But when can I officially stop using any type of pillow to sit down?

[@RolandoMoralesJr]

I tell my patients 2 months.

[@photographerjonathan]

Dr. Morales talks about sitting on your but is not going to change the shape of it. but that is not the reason why doctors tell you not to sit on your butt. the reason is it stops circulation of blood and Oxygen to the newly transferred fat. so smaller percentage of the fat will survive the transfer. according to other doctors posting videos. so I don't know what to believe. but I don't know how anyone could not sit on there butt or sleep on there back for six weeks. that would be like hell.

[@RolandoMoralesJr]

good point. hypoxia (lack of oxygen to tissue) is a real aspect of cell physiology. similar to pressure sores from people in wheelchairs or disabled (can't move or feel their butts). if you sit on your butt long enough you will surely cause some tissue hypoxia and lose soft tissue (fat, even skin). it takes several HOURS of sitting in one position, not moving and over bony prominences. You may disagree with me, but I would say most people who get a BBL are NOT in wheelchairs or disabled so they will surely move when they feel their butt going a little numb or start hurting. Thus, really low risk of pressure issues causing tissue hypoxia. Which leads me to the point that as long as you sit on something soft, it will not affect fat survival or shape. Just my medical knowledge and clinical experience as someone who has done this for years trying to optimize outcomes. Believe me or not. Your choice.

I'm 4 weeks and I've been freaking out since i keep rolling over on my back in my sleep Now i can sleep a little better

good!

[@kindallalvarez]

Thank you for this informative video. I've had other friends who also had a BBL that said they didn't sit for 6months! I'm 6 weeks post op, and just can't imagine! When I do lay on my sides or apply some pressure to the butt, it feels like there are rocks inside. I'm assuming this softens up the more I apply pressure. Can you Please do more videos on BBL! Your definitely a site to see!lol What is the most CCs you'll inject in each cheek? I had 2000cc injected in each cheek. I'll be looking into your services for a round 2 after I'm a year post op. Thank you for your time.

[@RolandoMoralesJr]

welcome!

[@Nabila.A.P]

Wow I’m so jealous, mine gave me 500cc each cheek and I look the exact same as before specially as I gained weight to have it done and the Lipo just made me the same as what I was when I was skinnier, I feel so sad

[@kindallalvarez]

@@Nabila.A.P I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how hard the recovery alone is. I went to Mia aesthetics in Austin for mine. You can definitely do a round 2. I've seen so many surgeons place less then 1000cc. Mia aesthetics doesn't limit, just places what the skin allows. Definitely get that round 2 Doll! You won't regret it!! Just do research before on your next dr.

Hi 👋 how about big dimples or indents on my butt after my bbl? Will that technically go away? I’m 3weeks out. I did have that prior to my bbl but now it’s more noticeable.

its way to soon to make judgements. its only 3 weeks. if you have dimples before. they usually are not improved. they will look worse in initial recovery due to swelling.
