How long after a Brazilian Butt Lift before you can go on vacation?

Question

Hello! I plan on getting a BBL done in November and plan on going on vacation in January. Is it safe and possible that I can go on vacation?

Robert F. Centeno, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Hi, I think if you think of vacation in January you can operate in early November as planned tines.Dr. Marte.
