I am a dancer and would like to know when can I go back to dancing after having a Brazilian buttlift????

Question

So I want to know in how long I can go back and dance??

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question. After 6-8 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can dancing and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

This is hard to answer without knowing what was done and your postoperative course.  In most of my patients, I will allow a return to the gym at 6 weeks, but this has variables.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts and
liposuction procedures each year.  Look for great reviews and great 
before 
and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to allow 2-4 weeks for recovery, and to wait at least 7-10 days before going back to work, but each doctor has their own protocol. 
I also recommend not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. It is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Thank
  you for your question .

A realistic time frame should be from 4-6 weeks.

Many
  surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send
  us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also
  offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most
  accurate quote.

Choose a board certified
  plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges
  to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials
  have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your
  plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.

Thank your for the question.Normally, you can return to your normal work out routine after a period of 4-8 weeks. Your own body will let you know how much of a work out you can do.Dr. Campos

I think that if you have healed well without complications, I usually allow patients to go back to the gym within 4-6 weeks.

Remus Repta, MD · Answer

Dear jzmnstrd87,Each plastic surgeon will have his/her own recovery recommendation.  In my practice I would recommend four weeks minimum prior to returning to vigorous activity or full exercise.  I believe you will find that it will take at least that long for you to feel comfortable and for the swelling to go away.  The buttock area will likely heal faster, however, the areas that need to be liposuctioned to get the fat will take a little longer to feel fully healed.  I hope this helps.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta

Luis A. Fernandez Goico, MD · Answer

Hello, Thanks for your question. I normally release my patients for cardiovascular/aerobics exercising 4 weeks after a BBL, and the intensity progression should moderately increase between then and 6 weeks, as long as the patient feels comfortable. Of course, you should always follow your surgeons post-op guidelines for best results.Take good care of yourself, Dr. Fernandez Goico
