How long does it normally take to heal after a BBL?

Question

So I am thinking about getting a BBL and I need to be able to tell my job when ill be back and also how soon would I’ll be able to work after one please and thank yo

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear kat0404,you will probably need 2-3 weeks to recover from BBL. I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. It would be the best to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thank you for the detailed question. It depends on what you do for work. However, you can expect to recover in about 2 weeks. In our office, we recommend no sleeping or sitting on your buttocks for 2-3 weeks. We provide you with a special pillow to help you sit down without putting pressure on your buttocks. You can return to cardio in 1 month and weights/abdomen workouts in 2 months. I recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation to discuss your goals and a treatment plan that's right for you. If you are unable to meet in-person, we can arrange a free Skype/FaceTime consultation.

Thanks so much for reaching out.  Most people take 1-2 weeks off from work.  I instruct my patients cannot sit x 2 weeks.  Then after that should really only sit in a limited fashion.  No Cardiovascular exercise x 2 weeks and no heavy exercise x 6 weeks.  Compression garments are worn x 6 weeks 24 hours a day and another 6 weeks for 12 hours a day. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon and a body specialist for the best plan and treatment.I hope this helps :)

Recovery time varies from patient to patient and doctor to doctor with any body sculpting procedure. It is advisable to have some days off and for the first weeks after a buttocks lipoinjection try when sitting to put your body weight on the back area of your thighs and not on your buttocks.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Based on the recommendations for my patients 3 weeks is enough time to recover, it also will depend on the type of work you do when you return to your normal routine.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)
