After surgery, a compression garment is worn to help with the swelling and also assist in the contouring of the buttocks. Lymphatic massages are recommended for a faster recovery.
The patient is advised to not sit or lay down directly on the buttocks for two weeks. BBL pillows or regular pillows are recommended to elevate the buttocks. The goal is to prevent any pressure on the fat, leaving your results intact.
Patients are advised to avoid exercising for at least 6 weeks. Final results, after the swelling and bruising have subsided, usually can be seen within 6-8 weeks.
