Having a menstrual cycle during recovery from BBL.

My period is scheduled to start soon and I'm about 4 days post op. I haven't worn underwear up to this point to avoid lines etc on my butt. Once my period starts will I be okay using a tampon?

Hello and thank you for the question. This is a medical decision. The choice between local and general anesthesia, is best made by your doctor who understands the pros and cons of each approach. Having said that, there is a lot you can do under local. A BBL is not one of them. Liposuction is...

This is really dependent on your surgeon’s postoperative protocol. I prefer my patients not sit for about 2 weeks after surgery and then afterwards they sit on a donut for about a month just to offload the pressure on the buttocks.  Any pressure that you put on the buttocks can compromise the vi...

Thank you for your question. This is most likely because your PS didn't liposuction the mons area (which is the area you described). This can be fixed with liposuctioning that area. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

Thank you for your questions and sharing your photos. From what i see in your photos, I do not recommend BBL. You don't seem to have enough fat to add to the buttocks and hips. I think Buttocks Implants would be the best option for you. Sizing can be done in a consultation with a board certified...
