Cosmetic Procedures - Buttocks Lift - After Surgery

In buttockl lifts, the most important postoperative care concern is to limit the amount of extending sitting, bending over, or flexion of the hips that places strain (stretching) on the incisions. Standing or laying down keeps the junction between the legs and buttocks unstretched and this should be done as much as possible in the first several weeks after surgery. One may return to completely normal physical activities within four to six weeks. There is very little discomfort associated with this procedure other than the feeling of tightness in the area after surgery.

In buttock enlargement with implants or fat injections, sitting will be uncomfortable after surgery. While there is no harm from sitting, it will not be completely comfortable for several weeks after surgery. One may resume physical activity as soon after surgery as one desires.
