Hello. I know I need to prepare by having food and entertainment ready for the both of us but will I be completely bedridden or knocked out from meds for too long to care for my child? She is pretty easy to take care of but I just don't know what to expect after surgery. Thanks!

Answer: BBL Question Thank you for your question.It is good that you are planning ahead for your aftercare. If you can have some assistance during the first week, that would be very helpful. I recommend consulting with your surgeon since they are most familiar with the specifics of your surgery and medical history and every doctor may have a slightly different protocol. The first week I do not recommend any sitting or pressure on the buttocks. Sitting and laying down should be done with the weight mostly on the thighs. Swelling and bruising will subside within 6 to 8 weeks. I also recommend wearing your body garment until your surgeon instructs you otherwise, this will assist to reduce swelling and give you the best results possible. Best of luck.Sincerely,
