How long after getting a BBL is it safe to fly?

After a BBL, it's generally recommended to avoid sitting or lying on your back for at least two weeks to allow the transferred fat to settle in its new location.

As for flying, there is a risk of developing blood clots in the legs during long flights, especially if you are sitting for an extended period. This risk may be higher after a BBL, as the procedure can cause swelling and inflammation, which can increase the likelihood of blood clots.

Therefore, it's generally recommended to wait at least two weeks after a BBL before flying. During this time, you should avoid sitting for long periods, stay hydrated, and move around as much as possible to help reduce the risk of blood clots. It's also a good idea to wear compression garments to help reduce swelling and promote healing.

However, it's important to note that every person's recovery is unique, and your plastic surgeon is the best person to advise you on when it's safe for you to fly after a BBL based on your individual circumstances.

Best of luck !

After surgery, your body is in a hypercoagulable state and therefore prone to clots. I typically will tell patients to wait 10 days before flying again. However, with a BBL procedure, it would be 2 weeks because I would not want you sitting on your buttock for that period of time. Additionally, make sure you have your BBL pillow during the flight. Please consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to determine your exact needs.
