Does BBL Hurt More Than Liposuction Alone?

The discomfort from a BBL usually feels similar to, or slightly more than, liposuction alone. This happens because both the fat donor area and the buttocks experience trauma. Most people say the worst pain lasts for only a few days and lessens much faster than they expected.

How Soon Can I Sit After Surgery?

Our surgeon recommends patients avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for about two to three weeks. During this phase, use a BBL pillow any time you need to sit. Sitting too soon can cause pain and compromise the fat grafted into the buttocks.

Is BBL Pain Permanent?

BBL pain is temporary and rarely lasts beyond four to six weeks. Once initial healing passes, most people enjoy their results without any lingering discomfort.
