Dear Energetic575923,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that is often marketed as a supplement for weight loss and fat reduction. While it is sometimes used in topical creams or injections for the treatment of cellulite, the efficacy and safety of such treatments are not universally established, and results can vary among individuals.When it comes to its potential interaction with Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) results, it's essential to note that L-Carnitine injections for cellulite typically target the skin and subcutaneous tissue, while a BBL involves transferring fat to the buttocks. The mechanisms of action and the areas of impact are different.However, any cosmetic procedure or intervention, including injections for cellulite, should be discussed with and approved by your plastic surgeon. Introducing substances into the treated area could potentially affect the outcomes of a BBL, and it's crucial to communicate openly with your surgeon about any additional treatments or interventions you are considering.Before undergoing any procedure or using supplements, it's highly recommended to consult with your plastic surgeon to ensure that the chosen interventions are safe, compatible with your previous surgeries, and will not compromise the results of your BBL. Always follow the advice and guidance of your healthcare professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes and avoid potential complications.
