How soon can I start wearing heels?

Question

I'm one week post op and I have done TT/Lipo/BBL. I love wearing heels especially because I'm going back to work in one more week. How soon can I wear my heels?

J. Brian Boyd, MD · Answer

As soon as you are steady on your feet is the simple answer. Sometimes people feel drowsy due to their pain meds of the lingering effects of prolonged anesthesia. It would be wise to wear sensible shoes during this time, which varies greatly from one individual to another. If you feel well enough to return to work, you should be able to chose your own footwear. Other than the risk of falling off your platforms, there is no specific contraindication for wearing high heels after cosmetic surgery.

Joseph Franklin, MD · Answer

There are no hard and fast rules about when you can return to wearing high heels.   I would recommend waiting until you are no longer taking pain medicine.   Otherwise, enjoy wearing whatever you choose.
