Had operation on May 15. Scheduled to go on cruise June 14th. May go scuba diving if it doesn't damage my fat cells.
Answer: #Realselfq: How safe is it to go scuba diving after 4 weeks of having BBL? If there have been no complications 4 weeks after your BBL and providing you are a healthy person, the fat cells should have settled, and scuba diving should be safe.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear Good4479, I understand your concern. I wouldn't recommend my patients to go scuba diving 4 weeks after surgery. But, it is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Answer: How safe is it to go scuba diving after 4 weeks of having BBL? Will the water pressure kill fat cells? Thank you for your questions. I would discuss this with your surgeon, but for my patients, I do not allow submersion of the incisions under water for at least 6 weeks and this is with completely normal healing.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Answer: How safe is it to go scuba diving after 4 weeks of having BBL? Will the water pressure kill fat cells? No pools or the like should be entered until wound healing is complete, which will take at least 6 weeks. The last thing you want is an infection following this procedures. The PS who performs your lipo and BBL will provide the most accurate response. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA
