I am traveling 5hrs to Miami for BBL surgery and staying for 5 days after. Will I be able to drive myself home if i sit elvated or on boppy pillow/booty buddy?
Answer: Driving After a BBL I would recommend flying home after your Brazilian Butt Lift in this case. Most patients are not comfortable enough to drive 5 days after a BBL. You will likely still need pain meds at this point and would not be safe to drive a car while on them. Have a safe trip!

Answer: Can I drive home after BBL? After having a Brazilian Butt Lift I would not suggest driving for 5 hours. Even using the boppy/booty pillow driving for 5 hours is a long time only being 5 days post-op. Consult with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding this. Best wishes!

Answer: Can I drive home after BBL? With Brazilian butt lift we transfer fat from one area of the body to the other. These fat cells are transferred in microinjections throughout multiple planes in the buttock tissue so that they can gain new blood supply and live in their new home, providing increased volume and shape to the buttocks.Postoperatively, no specific position is indicated and we do not have any sitting restrictions. The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the postsurgical position depends basically on comfort and any other operations that have been performed. Patients use girdles for 6 weeks and start therapeutic lymphatic drainage and ultrasound massages in the liposuctioned areas, which continue daily for a total of 10 sessions. Patients can return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery. We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery.

Answer: Can I drive home after BBL? Hi... thank you for the question... I suggest my patients to use pillow after a BBL when they are going to sit, and do not recommend siting on Buttock area for long time. You should ask your surgeon for this.
