Can I go swimming in the ocean the day before my BBL ?

Question

I’m going to the DR and I would like to know if I’d be able to enjoy the beach before I go in for my procedure?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I see absolutely no reason not to go swimming one day before surgery, but stay away from pools,oceans, jacuzzi's for at least 6 weeks after surgery to avoid any infection. Consult with your PS for instructions.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question. 
Yes sure, there is no problem with swimming before surgery. Enjoy you staying in DR.
Good luck :)

There is no reason not to go swimming the day before your BBL. I would encourage you to do so because you definitely should not go swimming the day after!
Enjoy your trip, make sure you stay wet hydrated before your surgery and avoid getting a sunburn
Wishing you all the best

I see no reason you could not go swimming in the ocean before your procedure. Why don’t you send your doctor and email and ask him or her.  And earlier post today is a patient with a complication who cannot get a hold of her doctor. Consider staying local for elective surgical procedures  Best,  Mats hagstrom M.D.
