Is it safe to get in the sauna a few weeks after BBL and breast lift? Will it help reduce swelling and fluid?

Question

Joubin Gabbay, MD · Answer

I don't think a sauna will help much. That heat and your sweating may actually increase your postoperative swelling. If you decide to do this, it is imperative that you discuss the matter with your surgeon.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic
surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has
extensive experience in buttock augmentation.

I wish you the best.

Dr. Gabbay.

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Carmina Cardenas, MD · Answer

Heat is only going to cause a lot of swelling, anything which creates heat: hot water, sauna, jacuzzi, bathtub, must be avoided Dr. Cardenas

Thank you for your question. I don't recommend going into a sauna that early after surgery. Please follow up with your plastic surgeon. I hope you find this information useful, good luck with your recovery!

Josef Hadeed, MD, FACS · Answer

Getting into a sauna may increase the amount of swelling that you notice.  I personally do not allow this in my patients until they are completely healed.
