What's the best set up in the car after a TT and BBL?

Question

Staying close the the surgery center- but still have a 10 minute ride to get there.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Riding 10 minutes to your recovery location following your BBL and TT is a wise decision.  My LVN helps all my patients matriculate from the recovery room to their mode of transportation to ensure that they are comfortable and safe.  He reclines the seat at a 45 degree angle and places a folded pillow under their thighs.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

Staying just ten minutes away is just fine following surgery.  I should inform you however that there have been many severe complications from the BBL, so you really might want to rethink that part of the surgery.  I always thought it was a bad procedure.

Steve Laverson, MD, FACS · Answer

Good luck with your procedures.  Because you'll be stiff and have surgical sites on both front and back, we help patients into rear seat of car and lay on side, back and hips flexed.  Pillow(s) as needed for support and comfort.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

This question is best answered by your surgeon as she/he is most familiar with your surgical plan.  Often times patients recline the seat and bring several pillows placed for support for the ride home.  Staff from the surgery center will assist you getting into your car after the procedure.

Chad Robbins, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.   I tell my patient's to recline the back of the chair slightly and if possible have a few pillows available to put under your knees.   Have a blanket to put over your chest and abdomen with seatbelt over the blanket so it doesn't put pressure on your chest and abdomen but still riding safely.
