CLAIM YOUR PROFILEHello, the procedure will take around 2-4 hours depending on how much volume is needed. You could go home the same day with an adult or have an overnight stay in a medical facility.
Post-operative instructions will include wearing compression garments for areas that underwent liposuction and some restrictions on sitting and sleeping for the first week or so. It is not uncommon to go back to work in 7-10 days. You still need to wear the garment for 6 weeks total.
The recovery time can vary depending on how many areas the fat for the BBL is harvested from. The more areas of harvest, the more painful it will be. Most surgeons limit direct pressure on the buttocks after surgery for several weeks, so you cannot sit on your buttocks for extended periods after surgery.
There are special pillows where the pressure is shifted to the lower thighs to allow people to sit in a chair. As recovery means different things to different patients, I would suggest 1-2 weeks off of work, depending on your situation, and no sitting directly on the buttocks for ideally 8 weeks.

Like most topics concerning our bodies, breast development isn’t black and white. Everything from when your breasts start to grow, to what size they become and how various life stages affect them, depends on many different factors, like genetics and individual body chemistry.

I had a TT with mR. LIPO and BBL. after I've found dr gladys polanco. Ive been in communication with her assistant. SHe gave me all the info I needed. Answered all my questions. No matter what time or day she respond to any of my texts. I felt so comfortable. We spoke so much due to my questions I felt so close to her. After my flight from NYC to Dominican Republic there was someone there to pick me up. I was given a driver. He took me wherever I needed to go. He was so professional and very friendly. I would always want him as my driver and good friend. He's such a special and amazing person. I stayed at BEST CARE RECOVERY. THEY WERE AMAZING. great care. Great food. Great people. I had a private room I stayed 13 days. The place Is clean The entire staff were friendly and caring. I love them all. They treated us like family. I miss them all. Updated on 1 Jul 2017:
Ha sido una de las mejores decisiones tomada a raíz de una cicatriz en el abdomen producto de haberme extirpado un riñón de niña, la Dra. Polanco es una profesional completa muy responsable y dedicada a su labor y eso lo demuestran sus excelentes resultados, la recomiendo a ojos cerrados, excelente trato no me senti un paciente sino parte de su familia. gracias Dra. Dios la bendiga
I just had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Polanco this week. She was very attentive and carying about me about about the end result I expect from the surgery. I am at Day 4, no pain, almost recovered from the bruises under my eyes, and still few more left on my eyelids which is absolutely normal and will disappear whithin the next days. I strongly recommend Dr. Polanco to anyone interested into any body or face procedures. She is just so professional and carying!!
Es excelente doctora, ser humano y sobre todo es muy sencilla. Para mi es la mejor doctora en cuanto a su rama. She is amazing. Y algo muy importante es muy profesional en su trabajo su equipo es muy bueno.
Buen medico, ofrece trato personalizado. Cuenta con gran experiencia en el campo de la cirugia plastica y general. Sin duda alguna muy buena profesional, yo volveria operar con ella. Recomiendo visitar su consulta.
I had a nose job with Dr. Polanco and was a great experience. She's an expert and very professional, no matter what issues or questions I had she was right there to answer. I couldn't be happier with my results, can breath better and looks really natural. I'm totally recomending Dr. Polanco, she's the best!!.
Honest and professional care. She offers the best results I have ever seen! A truly magnificent surgeon, I would recommend it to all my friends and family and I am more than pleased with the results.
Era un sueño volver a tener la figura que tenía antes de tener a mis dos hijos, siempre he hecho ejercicio, pero después de los partos , el vientre nunca queda plano , conocí a la Dra Polanco y platique con ella las posibilidades , me dijo que era candidata perfecta para estos dos procedimientos , y que no tan solo recuperaría mi figura, sino aun una silueta mucho las armoniosa y esbelta q nunca ! Y así fue ! Me encantó el resultado y mi familia no deja de notarlo y de halagar me, fue un gran acierto decidirme a operarme después de mucho pensarlo y por supuesto elegir a la cirujana perfecta , Dra Gladys Polanco.
Dr. Polanco was thorough in her explanation of the surgery and her approach. She made two postoperative visits to our hotel and saw me twice in her office. The results have been fantastic i have received many unsolicited compliments from acquaintances who were not aware I had a facelift.
Mi experiencia fue maravillosa. Me hice un aumento de mama y una liposuccion. Soy una persona que tiene un umbral muy bajo al dolor y la dra supo manejarlo muy bien. Siempre estaba cuando la necesitaba, sin importar horario. Equipo de trabajo de primera. Las atenciones fueron inigualables de primera.
