After a BBL: 1. How soon can you go into pool?

Question

3. Would it be ok to sit in a zero gravity lounger if the buttocks area was removed leaving a hole surrounded by memory foam? how far up the torso can have pressure? top of hip bones sufficient? And if the knees were elevated how close to the bottom of the buttocks could have slight pressure without effecting the fat positioning? 3 - 4 inches?

There are many factors that would
go into answering this question. But preeminent is how you are healing. Your
surgeon will determine if your incisions have healed enough for you to
undertake activities like swimming or even sitting in a pool. After that, and
only then will you be able to determine the ancillary factors.My recommendation would consult with your
surgeon.Best of luck, please let us know how it goes. Regards,Dr. Constantino Mendieta

Thanks for your question.You should always consult with your plastic surgeon, but I recommend that my patients avoid the pool or ocean for the first 3 to 4 weeks.Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

I would wait at least two weeks after a fat transfer procedure before getting into a pool or any body of water. The incisions must be healed completely to avoid any risk of infection. If you have a concern, consult with your plastic surgeon before getting into the water. Avoid pressure on your buttock for at least two or ideally six weeks after surgery.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
