Each surgeon will have specific pre and post-operative instructions that are successful in their practice. It is important to listen to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon’s advice regarding any cosmetic procedure.

Although your individual experience may vary, most hair growth in the treated area does not resume for 2 to 8 weeks.  Contact your plastic surgeon's office to determine whether you should avoid the operative area a week before surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified PSLos Angeles, CA

Alexander Q. Ereso, MD, FACS · Answer

Lots of physicians have different opinions concerning this. Some surgeons ask that you avoid waxing or shaving the operative area for fear of irritating the skin or potentially making the incision more susceptible to an infection. My advice is to check with your plastic surgeon before surgery.

Yes you can get your body waxed 1 week before the BBL. To my knowledge and based on the medical literature on this topic, there are no reasons to avoid body waxing before surgery.
