I am an over the road truck driver right now, and looking to have a BBL done. I drive for about 9 hours a day and was wondering how soon could I go back to work if I used a BBL pillow under my thighs? Also, how long should I wait before getting pregnant after BBL?

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear transformingjess, I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Recovery from BBL Recovery from this procedure is a gradual ongoing process. Plastic surgeons have different protocols in regards to sitting. They vary from unrestricted sitting to limiting sitting for several months. In our practice we ask patients to minimize sitting and rapid movements or access activities for the first three weeks. There’s very little scientific evidence showing that sitting after a BBL has a negative impact. No one has done good studies on this. That doesn’t mean that it’s OK to sit right after having gluteal fat transfer.For the type of work you do I think three weeks is probably a reasonable timeframe.You can get pregnant anytime you would like after the procedure.It takes about six weeks for liposuction and fat transfer results to resemble final results and results will not change significantly after three months. This is usually right around the time when women start having more significant physical changes from pregnancy.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
