Question

Is it normal to have lower back pain post Bbl procedure ? I am 7 days post op. What can I do to relieve the symptoms ?

Emmanuel De La Cruz, MD · Answer

Hello Bossydolly,
I’m sorry for the adverse symptoms you’re experiencing. The swelling, bruising, and pain during the first week after Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are significant, and most patients will have difficulties moving around. However, your plastic surgeon will give you pain medication to handle any pain that might be involved and help you feel much more comfortable. You will see significant improvement in the way your body feels and looks in the following 2 weeks. Refrain from strenuous activity for the first month after surgery and contact your plastic surgeon promptly if you notice an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area, or if you develop fever (above 100.4 F), dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation and discomfort are normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
