How often after the BBL would do you have to get up and walk to avoid blood clots??

I recommend to my patients to get up 5-6x per day and walk to the kitchen and or bathroom and also to pump their feet while laying or sitting. The risk for a blood clot is increased for 2 weeks post op. I ask my patient not to put pressure on their buttocks for 10 days. 

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. I always recommend my patients to move and walk after lipo and bbl, is always good, and the less you're sitting. the better your buttock looks 

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you will be healing following surgery.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!
