Following the buttock augmentation procedure, you must not sit directly on your buttocks for two weeks. Most people can return to work in 2 weeks, provided you do only a minimum amount of sitting. You must wear a special garment (to control swelling) for two weeks. There may be a small amount of swelling for up to 6 weeks. However, you should be able to resume all normal activities at 4 weeks post op.

After you have undergone your butt lift surgery, you will recover under the care of the surgical staff at an accredited outpatient surgery center near our office. Brazilian butt lift patients may be able to return to full activity levels within three to four weeks.

Depending on the case, you may need to wear a support garment under your clothes for a short amount of time after your surgery. There will be swelling and bruising, which subside over the weeks that follow your surgery.

The doctor may ask you to be careful and aware of how you are seated for several weeks, but each case is different and your personalized post-operative protocol will be reviewed with you during your pre-op visits.
