How long after BBL can I being working out? I am military therefore I’ll have a PT test in September 2019 and would like to do the BBL beginning of this year but I’m not sure how long the recovery will be since I will have to run 1.5 miles in a certain time I have to be able to workout as soon as possible.

Answer: How long before I can do Military physical training after a BBL? Thanks for your question. Usually, patients can return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery. We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery.

Answer: How long before I can do Military physical training after a BBL? I have performed a few BBLs on patients who were active duty, but I advised them to heal completely before trying to participate in any strenuous physical activity. As a board certified PS and bodybuilder, I advocate continued weight lifting and exercise after a BBL as long as you do not lose body fat. I usually ask my patients to wait from 4 to 6 weeks to resume strenuous exercise, depending upon how the healing goes. Always ask your plastic surgeon about specific activities and when they can be resumed after surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
