Post Op Medication? BBL in 7 Days.

So I have my BBL in 7days and I want to know what else I might need after surgery. Arnika tablets, anti Bruising stuff, anti inching stuff, heat packs, special body wash? I have been given a course of anti Biotics, anti inflammatory medication and painkillers by my surgeon to take post op. I just wanted your opinions and suggestions on what else I might need post op to make the healing process more comfortable and safe. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for your question, After your surgery its very important that you follow your Doctors instructions. He/She will provide you with antibiotics, pain medication and iron pills, it is also important to have antiseptic gel or spray for your wounds and shower with antibacterial soap.

After a Brazilian butt lift you'll need ice, rest, patience and time. Pain medication and arnica Montana can help, but your body will heal as its supposed to.  I would highly reccomend avoiding heat as it can easily cause a burn in asensate areas (surgical areas). 

Good Luck!
