Going to the bathroom aftr BBL, am I going to harm my results?

Question

It was extremely difficult to try an find a comfortable position while going to the restroom... i was finally able to get a bowel movement but it was so hard to try an squat to push let alone with a sore buttock and abdominal area... is there anything i can try to do to make it easier to try to go without harming my results ?? Thank you

Going to the bathroom can seem nearly impossible after having a BBL. Starting from how you're suppose to sit, sitting to use the bathroom should not affect your BBL results permanently as it will only be for a couple of minutes. If you're struggling with bowel movements and are unable to go to the bathroom properly i suggest to have your Doctor prescribe you with a stool softener to make the process more comfortable for you. Hope this help!

No, you will not harm your results.  One of these options may keep you from applying pressure to your hips or buttocks. If you have a sturdy grab bar by the toilet, hold on to it.  If you can squat, purchase a raised toilet seat with rails. Be careful not to fall in using either option. Ask your plastic surgeon, but an over the counter stool softener should be fine.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Going to the bathroom wont harm your results, so relax. It's important to know that after a BBL you have to be careful seating on your buttocks but not at the point to stress out because of the normal duties. As long as you use your boppy pillow and rest on your belly, there's nothing to worry about.I recommend you to get in touch with your plastic surgeon to talk about your concerns.Good luck :)

Everyone needs to go to the bathroom after a BBL and doing so well generally not harm your results.
Try to put your pressure on the back of your thighs as opposed to the treated area on your buttocks.
Most people get constipated when they take prescription pain medication.
I recommend my patients increased fiber in their diet by using supplements like Metamucil while they're taking prescription pain medication.
Best,
