Recovery Tips To Help Improve The Success Of Your BBL Surgery
When it comes to surgery, the recovery process can be challenging. Surgery puts your body under a lot of stress and you will likely feel tired, and possibly slightly unwell. That being said, there are certain things you can do to aid your recovery – of course, these things will depend on the type of surgery you have had.
Recovery from BBL surgery, for example, will be very different to recovery from a facelift.
In this article, we will be exploring top tips for recovering from BBL surgery.
But wait! Before we get into our top tips, let’s talk about what a BBL surgery is and how it works.
BBL surgery is short for a Brazilian butt lift surgery and is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape your buttocks.
How does it work?
The procedure begins with liposuction to remove fat from specific body parts, then transplanted into the buttocks to increase volume and form. This operation may also include raising and tightening the skin of the buttocks to address additional concerns, such as thigh cellulite.
BBL surgery usually takes between two and three hours but recovery can take between three and four weeks. So, let’s get into our top tips!
No more sitting down!
It’s time to start using your legs more because sitting down on that train journey will not be an option for the next couple of weeks. It’s also advised that you sleep on your stomach during recovery from BBL – basically, anything that avoids pressure on the newly placed fat.
Take it easy.
If you’re someone who likes to keep busy and typically has a lot to do, try your best to restrict physical activities such as going to the gym or going for a run. Even though it may sound hard, you’ll be able to recover far quicker when you take it easy and rest up after your BBL surgery.
Week by week, you will feel better and will be able to do more; however, everyone is different and recovers at other times. You should listen to your body and start slowly introducing more activities after a few weeks, as and when your body feels recovered. But in the meantime, make sure to rest up and restrict your daily physical activities.
Live a healthy lifestyle.
If you want to recover quickly after your BBL surgery, living as healthy a lifestyle as possible is essential.
Take a look at any bad habits you might have fostered over the years and try to remove these from your day-to-day.
Cut down on those takeaways and late nights, lay off the drinking, get some fresh air and keep your mind occupied – all of this will help put you in the best possible position for a speedy recovery post-surgery!
Massages
If you love a massage, BBL recovery gives you an excuse to book one.
Massages are incredibly beneficial for moving blood flow in specific body areas, which is essential for you in the recovery process. Therefore, massages after your BBL surgery are recommended but make sure you consult your plastic surgeon on what massage you should get specifically.
Compression clothing.
Compression clothing can make you feel more comfortable during recovery and is something you can purchase easily online.
As you will most likely be spending more time than usual standing up, it is beneficial to wear compression clothing for that added support, but make sure the clothing you buy is comfortable and does not irritate your skin.
Have patience!
Above all, when it comes to recovery from any surgery, including BBL, patience is key. These things take time and pushing yourself to do more than you feel able to never ends well. So, take it easy.
