Pain after BBL: what is the best over the counter medication I can use to deal with it?

It is not uncommon to still have some pain and discomfort 2 weeks after BBL.  You should talk to your surgeon about your symptoms.  I do not think it is unreasonable to still take some prescription pain medication 2 weeks after surgery, but you should be using less than you used immediately after surgery.  You should also talk to your surgeon about different OTC meds.  I am usually okay with patient taking Tylenol or an NSAID (Advil, Aleve).

Thank you for your question, pain after the Brazilian butt lift is normal and varies from patient to patient, post op medication should be discussed with your plastic surgeon directly or their office.Good Luck.Salvador Pantoja M. D.

Some discomfort after BBL is normal.  As for waht pain medication to take that is over the counter will depend upon your medical history and allergy history. Best to ask your surgeon.

After BBL pain is usually  due to to swelling . You can use ibuprofen 800 mg every 8 hours . If you can't find the 800 mg as OTC , just take 4 x 200 mg .Best wishes 

Thanks for your question. Pain following a BBL is normal within the immediate post operative period and varies from patient to patient. Most physicians will prescribe pain medication for the post op pain, but some patients are able to get by with OTC meds after a few days. The med you choose should be based on your drug allergies. Check with your physician for their recommendation and if you have excessive or unusual pain your physician may even want to evaluate you to insure there are no unexpected complications.
