Answer: BBL Post op Question Thank you for your question about BBL post op. There are a number of products that are available for patients to purchase after a fat transfer procedure. The main objective of these products is to allow patients to sit or lay down while keeping pressure off of the area the fat was transferred to. Pressure will potentially kill the fat that was transferred to the specified area. To be sure, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Answer: Inflatables for BBL Hello @702nikki, thank you for your question. Is important to understand that every specialist has his own technique for performing every procedure.; It's like when every person has a different way to do one thing but gets to a similar outcome. Depending on the concept and technique applied by the doctor the recommendations and indications are different. Also there will be different possibilities for improvement depending on the vision and approach of the treating physician. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear 702nikki, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Answer: Post operative beds Dear Nikki, You should consult with your BBL surgeon to follow their postoperative instructions. That being said, I do not know of any studies showing one type of be being better than another. Keeping as little prolonged weight on the new BBL buttocks is key for up to a month. If the bed helps you sleep on your belly, that would certainly relieve buttock pressure. Dr. T
