Will 40 days we enough time to recover from my BBL in time for my wedding?

Question

I plan to get my bbl December 7 but I am getting married January 19. What can I do to help minimize swelling Or help the swelling go down faster? Or will I be swollen no matter what? Do you guys think I should postpone the BBL until after the wedding just to keep it on the safe side or is a-month about enough time? I want to make sure that I will be able to fit into my wedding dress and be comfortable enough to enjoy my party. I’m just worried I’ll have too much discomfort to have a good time.

Brazilian Butt Lift recovery time is dependent on how the patient’s body reacts to the procedure. Patients usually return to work after a week but you should not sit without the use of cushions for at least two weeks and you must wear a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure. You should wait until at least 2 weeks after the procedure to engage in sexual activity. Swelling and discomfort normally fades at six weeks. After about a month you will be mostly healed and you can get a nice idea of the permanent results after around six months.

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.
Recovery varies from patient to patient, however you will need to avoid sitting directly on your butt for at least one week until you are able to use a booty pillow. I would discuss your situation with your plastic surgeon.  
I hope that helps!  Best of Luck!

I would discuss your situation with your plastic surgeon.  Everyone recovers at their own rate and complications can always occur with any procedure so be careful scheduling your surgery right before your wedding.

Dear alondrabgarcia,recovery varies based on the patient, however you will need to avoid sitting directly on your butt for at least two weeks. We do provide a specialized pillow for limited sitting. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD
