This is a question for the plastic surgeon who performs your BBL as plastic surgeon preferences for types of compression garments and length of wear vary. I recommend that my patients wear an adjustable abdominal compression garment for six weeks. This compression garment does not cover the buttocks or the hips. At around six to eight weeks after your Brazilian butt lift the skin around the buttocks expands to accommodate the newly transferred fat.
Dear Piscesloveee,I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

You would need to discuss this your PCP and also have a pre-op appointment with your anesthesiologist. While, I would assume you can get the surgery but might need it done in a hospital setting with significantly larger resources
It is technique based. Negligence is a very strong word that I would not use. Some spots can be very tricky and burns can happen in even the most experienced of hands (though this should be uncommon).
Are you taking any medication for the breast cancer? This makes a difference because it may need to be stopped for surgery AND you never want to stop medication that is keeping your breast CA at bay. Your situation is one that would be decided on an individual basis once your history of fully...
Hello, and thanks for your question. It would ultimately be up to your specific provider whether or not they would want to take your case on. Being that you still have symptoms, I would not feel comfortable performing surgery on you with your history. However, some doctors may find that if you...
