Vacation 7 days after BBL?

Question

Can I go swimming in salt water7 days after bbl? What limitations did you have 7 days post surgery? I'm thinking about taking a vacation and wondering if it's a good idea to do it after the surgery.

Hi and great questionI appreciate the time you are spending researching the procedure.I think everything comes down to risks and chance for complications.  In my opinion, I think the risk of you getting an infection would be significantly high.  Also, depending on the ocean you are going into there are high concentrations of "flesh eating" bacteria in certain parts of the world.  In my opinion, that risk is just TOO high.I hope that helps.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.There are different techniques for BBL and different post op protocols.  Generally speaking would not plan to go on swimming 7 days after a BBL.  There is no bed rest, in fact, you are encouraged to start walking the day of surgery. You will be active, you may take vacation,  but most likely be wearing compression garments at that time.Please make sure you choose a surgeon board certified by "The American Board of Plastic Surgery", check her/his reviews, before and after photos, credentials, experience, and have a quality consultation.You surgeon should be preferably a member of "American Society of Plastic Surgeons" and a member of "American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons" to indicate cosmetic plastic surgery is the main focus of their practice and they have been evaluated to perform high volume and quality, honest aesthetic surgery and adhere to a code of ethics.All my best,

I think you should not do that. You have to take your time to recover the crash dump to guarantee you a good evolution. Swim at 7 days after any surgery does not sound logical.

Thank you for your question. After a plastic surgery the patient must follow the doctor recommendations.You have to contact your plastic surgeon and having his approval. The possibilities of getting an infection because swimming after 7 days of a BBL are too high.
