How many hours after BBL will I be able to rest/sleep?

No it is not necessary to walk 20 minutes every hour after BBL. You need to get your rest. you do want to shift your position so that you are not in one position for more than one hour at a time. This means turning from your back to side to side and even on your belly. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition BBL expert for more accurate advice.

I’m not sure where you heard that story but it’s a new one for me.

I’ve heard of it famous but less so talented plastic surgeon who had a TV program about himself who was famous for making patients get outside and walk around the block in the middle of the night right after surgery. Perhaps you’ve heard stories from some of his endeavors. This particular individual claim to be too busy to take his board certification.

People interested in having a BBL should schedule a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have experience with the procedure.

During the consultation you’ll get a quality assessment and better understanding of the procedure including the recovery.

I generally want my patience to take it easy as much as possible for the first few weeks after the procedure and do gentle exercise like walking as tolerated.

It sounds to me like you’re getting your information from an inappropriate source. Perhaps via the Internet.

Multiple in person consultations is your best source of information and will also give you your best chance at vetting surgeons choosing the most appropriate one for your procedure.

Best,
