Can I travel long distance after a BBL?

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing following surgery.Overall, the longer you can delay flying following surgery, the better.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

Every surgeon will have a different postoperative routine based upon your health, the procedures performed, how you are recovering, and travel destination along with mode of transportation.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. of course you can, the thing that you have to consider is to walk during the flight time, because it is not good to sit after a bbl for too many hours. Also, if you use your boopy pillow it will be better for you too!

Yes. We've had several patients from Australia and many other countries. The longer your flight, the longer you should try to stay before taking the long flight home. We recommend avoiding sitting for the first two weeks. We also supply a BBL pillow that can be used to help you keep weight off your bottom.  Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
