If Planning to Do a Bbl out of Town How Long Should I Plan to Stay in Town For?

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

Safety comes first!  This is a huge investment in time, energy, money, and most importantly your health.  Don't be in a rush.  The longer you stay close to your surgeon, the more followup you will have, and the more secure you will be that things are healing well.  The longer you stay off your new fat cells in your new butt (at least a week), the better chance they will have of surviving.  It is not a good idea to sit on a plane for long periods of time after surgery.  It's very hard to know how much if any damage is done by traveling after surgery.  How much fat can be injected depends on the size, shape and elasticity of your buttocks.   Even more important than how much fat is transplanted, is how well the liposculpting is performed to harvest quality fat, leaving behind a nice figure.  Best of luck.

Depending on the length of the flight (domestic vs international), I recommend that our out of town patients stay for at least a week to ten days. That way, your activity level, recovery, and any other details are restored as closely to normal as the schedule allows. Any questions or issues can be taken care of at that time as well.For BBL done under local anesthesia, patients can safely travel as soon as two days postoperatively because there are no physiologic changes with circulation and other systems that are altered with general anesthesia. For them, it is more of a comfort and practical limitation with recovery that will determine their travel schedule.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to wait at least 10 days before flying back to home, and you should not sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

In our practice, we recomend our patients to stay 7 to 10 days within the area for them to be able to attend all their post op appointments with our therapist and myself, It also gives them time to heal and be ready to travel back home with no problems.
