Excessive walking after BBL, will it can adverse effects?

Thank you for your question. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. Postoperatively, for our patients no specific position is indicated and we do not have any sitting restrictions.  The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the postsurgical position depends basically on comfort and any other operations that have been performed. After a BBL the fat that survives is there permanently. Around 70% of fat that is grafted is typically expected to survive long term. We also put a little extra to account for loss of fat post operative, which is reabsorbed gradually by the body. Walking won't affect your results. 

I recommend that my patients not participate in strenuous or vigorous exercise for six weeks following a BBL.  Best to ask the surgeon who will perform your BBL for advice.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear SoCalcutie,in my opinion there shouldn't be no negative effect if you walk for a longer period of time, 5 weeks after a BBL. However, you should consult with your plastic surgeon and check his/hers postoperative protocol.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MSCertified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.
