I want to get a BBL but I can’t take more than a week off of work , what are my best options?

Recovery is important when considering surgery. You will put time, money, and effort into the procedure and of course want optimal results. You may want to select a better time when you can have adequate recovery time versus trying to cut corners now.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Pain tolerance after this procedure varies from person to person. I recommend taking two weeks off from work regardless of the type of anesthesia.

Dear Gentle8077,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Well for a bbl the truth with 7 days of rest is fine, liposuction does not need much rest, the most important thing is to use the girdle, do massages and use drains to take out the remaining fluid, even at 2 weeks you can already start exercising

Thank you for your question. I always recommend to my patients to take at least 2 weeks off from work depending of what kind of work they do. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
