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).

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.
