Can I do butt exercises after a BBL? I am almost 6 weeks post surgery.

Dear mscovergirl,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you very much for this interesting enquire.I always recommend to my patients to start exercises two weeks after PO, gradually: first, gentle walks without sweating, then, you can go to the gym to do aerobics, and, after four months you can stats with machines exercise and start with light weights, and, if there are no problems, only six months after PO may charge "free weights".It is very important to discuss any concern with your plastic surgeon.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I recommend that my patients refrain from exercise until 3 weeks post op. At 3 weeks they may resume cardio including walking, jogging, elliptical etc. I recommend patients wait a full 6 weeks post op to resume weights, yoga, pilates, squats etc. Please always refer to your plastic surgeon regarding his/her specific recommendations post op.
