While there is no exact number. Most patients can travel comfortably 6-8 weeks after surgery. This allows for most incision healing to be complete and for a lot of the swelling to resolve. The risk of a blood clot associated with travel is also lower if you wait longer before traveling. It seems like your schedule will allow for both. Best wishes.
Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.
Two to three months is usually enough time to recover. Find a BBL expert who performs hundreds of BBLs each year and has great reviews and great before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.I recommend my patients to allow 2-4 weeks for recovery, and to wait at least 7-10 days before going back to work, but each doctor has their own protocol. I also recommend not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. It is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
I think you are planning wisely. Usually patients are cleared to do almost anything by 8 weeks or so. Best of luck with your surgery.

You can use dermal filler or fat grafting to fill in the defect in buttock region. If you are looking for a non-surgical option, I would consider Sculptra. This would be the ideal product for someone who does not have a lot of donor fat, and wants a moderate augmentation. Sculptra may...
Thank you for your question. My patients use the boppy/booty pillow for 2-3 weeks. Sit upright when going to the bathroom. I would not recommend you sit for prolonged periods of time for at least 2 weeks after the procedure. Review with your Surgeons your post op instructions and follow his...
I prefer IV Sedation over General in most cases, including multiple procedure makeovers. The use of IV Sedation offers several advantages including less nausea, quicker recovery immediately following surgery, and a reduced risk of pulmonary embolism.Be sure your board certified plastic...
Each patient is different and some patients simply can't handle too much fat. If you inject more than a buttock can handle then it's like overfilling a cup... it just gets wasted. For fat to survive, it must be injected into good healthy fat or muscle that has good blood supply....
Hi and thanks for your question. There are very specific protocols that we suggest to follow after a Brazilian butt lift. It includes the use of the Boppy pillow. When fat is transferred to the buttocks, the fat cells need all of the oxygen possible in order to survive. Fat transfers (BBL)...
