When can I go swimming after BBL?

In my practice I would recommend staying out of the water for 6 weeks post op. Why you ask? It is to prevent infection which can be extremely serious depending on how advanced the infection becomes. I am however very cautious when it comes to patient care and follow up as I want the best results and least complications as possible. I would consult with your surgeon and find out his or her specific recommendations for you. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a fun time at your reunion! 

Thanks for sending in your question. Every surgeon's instructions will vary, so please check with your surgeon. I tell my patients to wait at least 4-6 weeks for any strenuous activities such as cardio.

Every surgeon has different protocols with respect to post op activities. I prefer my patients to wear the compression garment for 2 months at all times except for showers. After that I instruct them to wear them at night for another two months. I would ask your plastic surgeon and see if getting into a pool at three weeks would be acceptable.
