Need Advice for Traveling out of State for BBL? (photo)

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.

Fortunately, you don't have to travel too far to find well qualified doctors that perform Brazillian Butt Lifts with excellent results right here in VA!.  In terms of travel.  You should plan to be close to your surgeon for two weeks.  Most serious complications like A hotel is fine for recovery, but you should have a responsible adult stay with you.  Nurses are available at practices who cater to patients from out of town.  These nurses are usually available to help with transportation and postop care if you do not travel with a friend or family member.  Most importantly you need to select a surgeon who is experienced with this procedure, has good results and with whom you can establish a good rapport. Best wishes. 

      I have quite a few out of state patients.  I think that it is a good idea to stay a couple of days after surgery in the area.  The real issue after Brazilian buttlift will be the management of a seroma should it occur.   This can happen at any time but usually does not occur if the garment is worn snugly at the proper level.   Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
