How do patients handle the plane ride home without ruining their results?

delynne1Jan 19, 2018
Would prefer to stay near home but... I live in Missouri & want to have a BBL here but I can't find a doctor here or in Kansas that performs them on a regular basis. Most don't even feature it on their websites. In addition, the cost is at least twice that of Miami where it appears to be done daily. I am concerned about coming home on the airplane.

Thanks for your question.It depends on when you stopped smoking. If you stopped smoking right before the procedure and there is still nicotine in your system, then you may have wound healing issues. If you stopped months before, that should not happen. Please always consult with a board ...
