Can you get a BBL before and/or while enlisted in the military?

I have done many procedures for military personnel. We have a military discount as a small way of giving thanks to those who serve our country. We also often put consultation patients in touch with military personnel who have had the procedure done since having the chance to talk with someone who has gone through a similar experience can be quite helpful.Whether you should consider a BBL prior to enlisting or after enlisting is a question for your Navy recruiter, too. Weigh the pros and cons of each option and you'll find the right answer for you.Best wishes!

These are questions for your Navy recruiter. The cost of the BBL will not be covered by your medical insurance.I have performed a few BBLs on patients who were active duty, but I advised them to heal completely before trying to participate in any strenuous physical activity.  I think that you will likely lose body fat at least temporarily, and your fat in the buttocks and everywhere else will be diminished to some degree.  The more that is liposuctioned and the more that is transferred, the less of a difference this will make. Recovery from BBL is patient dependent; however, the average pain or discomfort period lasts from about 3 to 7 days. Much of this depends upon the amount of liposuction performed and the amount of fat transferred.  Many of my patients return to work after 4 to 7 days if that work is sedentary or nonstrenuous. Strenuous exercise is permitted after 6 weeks when restrictions upon sitting are lifted.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
