Flying after BBL procedure. Is that OK?
Nowadays, it is common for patients to choose their plastic surgeon based on their reputation, their results, their skills regardless of the state or city in which these surgeons may be located. For many patients, however, this involves traveling long distances by plane to perform plastic surgery both for the round trip.
So if you have decided to travel, you must take into consideration the return trip in which you must be careful before boarding the plane and also withstand high altitudes changes which would increase the risk of having complications.
In addition to this, airplanes are a focus of viruses and bacteria that can affect your somewhat weakened immune system by the operation, therefore, increasing the likelihood of getting an infection.
How long after a BBL, can I fly back home?
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure that consists of extracting the fat from the abdomen, hips or back, through liposuction, to then process it and inject it into the buttocks to give them a more voluminous and firm appearance.
Many of our patients who are considering getting a BBL generally wonder how long they should remain at rest after surgery, especially if they come from other states and need to travel to return to their homes.
It is also important to understand that after a Brazilian Butt Lift, you cannot exert any pressure on your buttocks. Therefore it is not possible to travel by plane for the first 10 days since this involves sitting for a while. This exerts pressure on buttocks and hips, and you could damage your results by causing fat to be re-absorbed by the body again.
