BBL: How can I recover quicker as I only have 5 days off of work?

Typically for my patients, I don’t have them sit for two weeks.  I then have them sit on a “donut” (soft round
pillow) for another month or so. It is best to try not to place pressure on the
recipient area to try to get as much fat to survive as possible. For bruising,
it usually subsides after about two weeks, but the swelling lasts longer. This
should be discussed in detail at the time of your consultation with a Plastic
Surgeon.

Many of my patients return to work after 4 to 7 days if that work is sedentary or nonstrenuous.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. I would direct this question towards your surgeon. Only they can advise you regarding what to expect after surgery. Returning to work five days after surgery may be a little early. It's possible, but you'll definitely be sore and your coworkers may suspect that you aren't at your best.
