Is it true that you itch badly after a BBL?

Itching is fairly common after surgery.  If there is any sign of rash or allergic reaction, that would be something different.  My patients choose to wear a soft cotton t-shirt under the garment to lessen the itching.  Follow up with your PS to determine if any of your medications could be the culprit. Plastic surgeons differ in the type of compression garment and length of wear so it is better to follow your PS for his/her post-operative protocols.  No pools or the like should be entered until wound healing is complete, which will take at least 6 weeks.  The last thing you want is an infection following this procedure.

Thanks for writing,Your questions are great ones but they are best answered by the operating plastic surgeon who has seen you and examined you buttocks and surrounding areas. Based on his / her techniques the answers may vary. Good luckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACS
