Thank you for your question. I do not recommend compression socks after a Brazilian butt lift surgery.
Hello and thank you for your question. I do not ask my patients to use compression socks after a BBL, what I ask my patients after the procedure is to walk every two hours per 15 minutes, I also use a SCD during the procedure which is a method of DVT prevention that improves blood flow in the legs. I do not see any problem with using compression socks, ask your board certified plastic surgeon.
Dear LenaSZ,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
