Recovery Process
Patients recovering from butt lift surgery should be prepared to lay on their stomach as much as possible during the first two weeks following surgery, and should avoid sitting any longer than 15-20 minutes during that time.
Once the anesthesia wears off, you will probably have some pain. This can be controlled with the pain medication prescribed for you by the SixSurgery team. You will also have swelling and redness following the procedure. In some patients, the swelling can take weeks or even months to resolve. It is critical that you do nothing strenuous, including lifting, for 4-6 weeks following your surgery. Butt lift surgery is quite extensive and requires several weeks of recovery. Patients can return to work or school in about two weeks, but full healing may take several months.
You will notice results immediately following the surgery, but it can take 2-3 months for the swelling to subside in order to see the full effects of the procedure.
