I'm planning on getting a BBL with Lipo 360 and I just want to be completely healed before I go back to work since I have a pretty strenuous career in regards to the variability in schedules!
Answer: How long should I be off work after BBL with lipo 360? -Concerned Flight Attendant Many of my patients return to work after 7 to 14 days if that work is sedentary or non strenuous. A week is probably OK with a conservative buttock augmentation of 600 cc to 800 cc per buttock. If you are going in the 1200 cc to 1800 cc per buttock range, you may need 10 to 14 days. For most patients strenuous activity can be resumed in 6 weeks. I recommend that my patients minimize sitting, even with a pillow, for the first two weeks. If they must sit, every 30 minutes or an hour, they should get up and stand for a few seconds to take the pressure off. This reduces the chance for fat necrosis. I usually recommend about 6 weeks before sitting without a pillow. After 6 weeks the fat has revascularized, and they will have a very good idea of their final results.

Answer: How long should I be off work after BBL with lipo 360? -Concerned Flight Attendant The protocol at my office is back to limited cardio at 3 weeks and then weights/yoga type activity at 6 weeks. You would need to determine where your activity at works fits into that scale and go from there. Best of luck with your journey!! As always, be sure to research who does your procedure to increase your chances of having a good outcome.

Answer: How long before I can return to work following a BBL? Hi, thanks for your question. Typically we recommend that you take at least one week off work following your BBL, some patients might opt for 10 days to two weeks. That said you'll have to stay off of your buttocks for at least two weeks and possibly avoid sitting on it for long periods of time for several weeks after that, so you'll have to keep all that in mind given the type of work that you do. Every surgeon has his/her own post-operative guidelines that you should follow carefully in order to ensure a full and speedy recovery and best results. Your surgeon may recommend a different time-frame for returning back to your line of work, so it would be best to discuss these and any other concerns with them as they will know the details of your case best.
