Am I able to have my BBL procedure if I have a bit of a sore throat and mucus?

I am scheduled to have my bbl procedure on Monday the 18th of September. I feel just fine. I usually am in great health. I took my blood work a week ago and everything was fine except I wasn't feeling so great that morning and it showed on my tests. I am just wondering if this is going to affect me from getting my procedure

The buttocks will continue to decrease in size for the first few weeks.   I have observed that between 4 and 6 weeks the buttocks tend to stabilize in volume.  Usually by 3 months, the swelling is minimal and totally resolved by 6 months.   Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeo...

There are no hard and fast rules on when to drive after this procedure.  Most would recommend six to eight weeks before driving for four hours. You must have an open dialogue with your surgeon about driving for four hours five days after an uneventful BBL.    The main risk is related to develo...

Thank you for your question.While you are okay to sit at 4 weeks, most of my patients have waited longer until they sit. You may purchase a BBL pillow to alleviate any prolonged weight and pressure on your buttocks if you must return back to work. Please speak with your surgeon if you are...
