Hi. I want to know when I can stop worrying about infections or any post op complications that can come with lipo 360/bbl. I believe chance of infections usually goes away once incisions are closed but I would like clarification if possible?

Answer: When does the infection period go away for lipo 360/BBL? Hello @Keeetz, thank you for your question. Most complications related to infection occur within the first few weeks after surgery. Once your incisions are completely healed, typically around 2-3 weeks post-op, the risk of infection significantly decreases. However, it is still important to keep the communication line open with your specialist to address any situation that may arise. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Infection appearance timing Most post-op infections appear in the 3-8 days postoperative period. With BBL's, you also worry about fat necrosis (which is not an infection) which may appear months later.

Answer: Postoperative infections Most postoperative infections present 3 to 5 days after surgery. Sometimes infections can be delayed and I’ve seen Liposuction infections develop several weeks after the procedure. Generally speaking infections are rare for both Liposuction and fat transfer, but do happen from time to time.
