Skinny BBL Procedure Recovery Time

• Avoid sitting on the buttocks for at least two weeks. 
• Avoid sitting on hard surfaces.
• Walk every hour.
• Sleep on your stomach or side at bedtime.

Generally, 90% of patients return to work about two weeks after the surgery. 

How is Skinny BBL Surgery Performed?

Before the surgery, your surgeon puts you under general anesthesia. Then the surgeon makes small incisions and extracts the fat cells using a medical tube. After the fat extraction, the surgeon purifies it using drainage and centrifugation.  Finally, the surgeon transfers the fat into the patient’s buttocks using small injections at various depths.
