Would 14 days off for a BBL be enough?

Thank you for your question. Typically recovery from liposuction and the Brazilian butt lift is usually one to two weeks. During this period patients may notice bruising and tenderness in the areas where liposuction was performed. Most of my patients are able to return to work one week after the procedure. Hope this helps,Dr. Newall 

Fourteen days should be sufficient for recovery after a BBL. Always important to get the all clear from your surgeon for returning back to work. 

I think 1-2 weeks is certainly adequate time off after most fat transfer procedures, as long as postoperative instructions can be complied with.  I advise my patients they may return to light duty as soon as they feel able to do so.  In cases of more extensive liposuction, you are advised to discuss with your surgeon first.

Hi, Thanks for your question. 2 weeks off of work after a BBL is very reasonable. This is what I typically recommend to my patients, though some return to light duty or half days after a week. All the best,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!
