How long should I wait before drinking and smoking after a BBL?

Question

How long should I wait after a bbl to smoke and drink. Would this be the same amount of time for excessive drinking. Thank you

Thank you for your question. I would wait 6 weeks post surgery to allow for full healing.  Follow your surgeons recommendations. Best Wishes!

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Dear justresearching22,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD
