For sure liposuction, or a BBL recovery are way worse than a breast augmentation. No question. Most people experience a small amount of itching from any type of surgery--that's normal as the body heals, but I have had patients in the past where the itching is intolerable. Not very often, but I certainly have seen patients go through what you are experiencing. Unfortunately there is no good treatment but the good news is that it is temporary and resolves on its own.

Oh my that happened to me I thought I was allergic to my meds.

A month too late, sorry but aloe Vera is AMAZING at relieving itching. Hope you're loving your results x

Someone said that itching is a sign that you are healing well.

How do you feel and look now?

Me too for January!

What’s the price?❤

Girl I putting my 2 50

Me too!

Same in march 😊

You are so welcome!

What surgeris did u do? I never had caregiver for any of my surgeries, especially not just bbl.

My pleasure. Glad you are happy.

@@moniecemorgan0322 yes

I do.

I have always done revisions for BBLs--not sure what happened in your case but I have been doing BBL revisions for over ten years.

Ok that makes sense because don't operate on patients with a history of blood clots.

You might enjoy this video on BBL SAFETY and it discusses BBL Ultrasound. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLaaepSlvbLOZKc.html

Wow! Good luck and I hope you recovery goes well! All the best!!

Yay! Thank you!

Where is he located?

You can apply for care credit an it will cover your surgery

❤

In what way did you ruin it?

@@VP-kr2vd not proper care was in an abusive relationship I couldn’t get my massages or work out amd I had the wrong faja

It's my pleasure. Don't miss the KZfaq Live 2 Day Class on December 4 and 5th at 7pm where I will be going through EVERYTHING there is to know about recovery from a BBL and there will be some cool prizes as well.

Glad you like them! I look forward it!

Hi Congo 🇨🇩🇨🇩

Hello doctor

Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLt8e7ur1sexhoU.html

Really? That's crazy

Either order is fine. One doesn't effect the other. If your thighs bother you the most then have that surgery first. Whatever is your priority is the order that you should have the procedures.

@@DrWilliamMiami Thank you!

How long to booked with u for skinny bbl .?

You're so welcome!

So for a TT/BBL you get massages the next day after surgery, what we call POD #1 (post-operative day number one) and you start to wear the faja on POD #14. You can wear the faja on POD#14--it is NOT dependent on whether your drains are in or not.

@@DrWilliamMiami thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions!

Can you please tell me what exactly about it is painful?

⁠@@VP-kr2vdI didn’t find it painful, but discomfort, yes a lot.However the most difficult days are the first 6 days.

I'm 4 days post op. Day one was the worst but as long as you keep up with pain management you will be fine . I will also encourage a daily massage . They make you feel so good after. Good Luck

I’m on day 4. Walking up & down stairs daily. Cooked my own food on day 2. Pain is manageable but getting in & out of bed from lying on stomach is extremely painful. Belly and but is still swollen and my masses have been soothing. The first massage I almost passed out because I wasn’t breathing properly so make sure to focus on your breathing when your getting your massage. Wish you the best

You are so welcome!

How much fat did you have?

@@user-yv4eq4md3f hey y don't know the exact amount I just know I gained 13 pounds on purpose. R u getting your bbl? I was completely flat before and now I'm a bit curvy and wish I had more hips though. I'm considering a 3rd bbl by the end of the year. Good luck

Glad you like it!

Same

I’m going on 3 weeks post op lipo360/bbl and I’m interested in purchasing the faja where can I purchase it? Can you post the link for it please ? Thank you

Sorry we don't ship to the UK.

Gracias. Buena suerte en tu recuperación.

You can still wear them if they are protecting the skin from faja indentations. I have a new product coming out soon called Fibroguard that will replace the foams at two weeks. For now if the faja is leaving indentations than keep them but in the future the foams will stop at two weeks and be replaced with Fibroguard.

Every surgeon has their own recovery suggestions and protocols. Here is my protocol that I tell my patients: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idyojambyqi2cY0.htmlsi=0IlPpCT7jTCyqLuH

Same here 🫱🏾‍🫲🏿

Not for the first 7 days you wouldn't. This is an invasive surgery you need assistance and supervision lest you be in a world of hurt

Yes it is safe. Lipo incisions close on their own after 48 hours.

It's most likely just nerves that are regenerating and they should resolve by a year, but I would speak directly with your surgeon.

@@DrWilliamMiamithanks alot dr

I don't think protein by itself is the sole answer. Not applying pressure to newly grafted fat will allow the fat to gain a blood supply and survive. No amount of protein will help fat survive if there is no blood supply.

Yes it is!

That's correct. 10 traditional massages over the first 2 weeks. So that's everyday for the first week and then every other day for the next week and then 5 lymphatic massages over the next 2 weeks.

@@DrWilliamMiami thank you so much, doc!

I would focus on getting a lot of manual lymphatic massages instead.

Yikes!

4 weeks

I don't suggest using a BBL pillow until two weeks after surgery.

Yes, you can buy them in the clinic or you can buy them online at ogeerecovery.com/collections/ogeefaja

Usually patients that have lost a lot of weight will need a tummy tuck.

Here is a video that will explain it better: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9CIYNthrq-bdKs.html

I am a big fan of rolling on the skin after liposuction to get soft, smooth skin and it can help with very mild laxity, but it you have true laxity or even excess skin there might not be very much you can do unfortunately.

No I don't think so.

I suggest starting light exercise at 3 weeks after surgery and then full exercise without any restriction at 6 weeks after surgery.

@@DrWilliamMiami Perfect! Thank you

I do not use drains for liposuction or a BBL.

Personally I have my patients get into FibroGuard two weeks after surgery to prevent fibrosis. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocd3iM9yrN3Zcas.html

Here is a video on a seroma: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKeWmcmCuNGvaWw.html Here is a video on fibrosis: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNaSetV_sZfdiY0.htmlsi=xjbYIyoQRFjOHJ_f

12 months between BBL1 and BBL2 is best. Gives the tissue sufficient time to heal and the swelling to completely dissipate and time for all the tissues to soften.

It don’t matter if your over weight I was it he still got me looking like a doll don’t worry about loosing any weight I was 5’8 223. Lbs

Weight loss will improve your results. Your body tends to burn internal fat first but there is nothing you can do to burn one versus the other. Losing weight will make your results better for sure.

Did he answer you

​@@jadajada121who did you go to?

@@jadajada121girl who’s ur doctor ?

Here is the Ogee Roller Protocol: Step 1: Use the Roller right after your surgery over the faja with gentle pressure to help with sensation. Just lightly because you will be sore; this can continue to be done over the faja and foams. Step 2: Once your skin is comfortable enough, use it directly on the skin like a rolling pin with much more pressure. All over your front and back (360 degrees). (First two weeks after surgery). Step 3: After two weeks, use the Roller lightly, with gentle pressure, and on the highest vibration setting. In this setting, manual lymphatic drainage is performed. Gentle, vibrational pressure, work the left half of your body to the left groin and the right half to the right groin area. The groins are where the lymph nodes are. They are the drains. You are working the fluid to the drains. But this requires you to open the lymphatic channels, and you do that with very gentle, light pressure and high vibration. In step 3, you let the Ogee Roller do the work for you. The lighter the pressure, the better. Let the diamonds and the vibration open the lymphatic channels and drain the fluid. Continue to do this for six months after surgery, longer if still lumpy.

Ideally you roll on top of your skin but the skin is usually too painful right away after surgery so you start with rolling on top of the faja and then as your skin gets more comfortable you roll directly on the skin.

@@DrWilliamMiami thank you doctor!

Both

@@DrWilliamMiamithank you 😊

Yes

I don't think BMI is helpful at all. The best way to enter surgery is to get to the lowest weight you can and get in the best shape you can. That's how you get your best results--thinking what is the highest BMI I can have will leave you dissatisfied with your result.

Fibrosis is hard to treat. Personally I don't think compression, traditional massages, wood therapy or radio frequency are helpful at this point. You have to get the fluid out of the scar tissue and more vigorous agitation of the tissue will not help it but I think it makes it worse. I prefer to use gentle rolling--use the Ogee Roller as a manual lymphatic device on high vibration and gentle pressure using it in a uni-directional way to open the lymphatic channels and move the fluid to the lymph nodes in the groin. Here is the protocol: On its highest vibration setting, the Ogee Roller becomes a Manual Lymphatic Drainage tool. Apply very soft, pressure, directing the left side of your body's fluid towards the left groin, and the right side towards the right groin. These groin areas house the lymph nodes, which act as the body's drainage system. To effectively redirect the fluid, it's essential to open the lymphatic channels. This is achieved using a gentle touch and the Roller's high vibrational setting. In this step, let the Ogee Roller do the heavy lifting. The lighter the pressure, the better. Allow the Roller's diamonds and vibrations to open the lymphatic channels and facilitate fluid drainage. Continue this regimen for 12 months.

No not at all. If you don't want a tummy tuck and just a BBL that's fine. Only when there is so much loose skin that I can't perform the liposuction because it is just too much skinny that I can't do a BBL. Otherwise if patients have excess skin and are a TT candidate but don't want a TT I just do lipo or a BBL.

Thank you so much for this educated / informative response.

I tell my patients they can work out after six weeks but I would check with your surgeon.

I am in Miami. Here is a link to my website: www.drwilliammiami.com/

I only do outpatient surgery. It is illegal in the state of Florida to operate on patients with Type I DM in an outpatient setting.

Yes you can. Here is a link to the exercise video as well that I think you will like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNumgdqgx8uygWQ.html

No pooping for 2 weeks either. Just kidding. You go like you normally go, that is the one exception to the no sitting rule.

correct

Not that can be removed except by your body. That's why I tell patients to use the roller starting at 2 weeks as a lymphatic massage tool. The roller will remove the fluid as it all gets moved the "drains"--those are the lymph nodes in your groin.

It's hard to say without examining you, but it is not uncommon to be lump and bump, and still pretty hard at the four week mark.

No, it's not usually if the abdomen is not flat it's because there is internal fat, also known as visceral fat that is preventing you from getting flat after liposuction or a tummy tuck.

That's too much surgery to have all at one time. Best to do TT and BA first and then BBL six months later.

Because u need to sleep on your back when u do boobs and tummy tuck and if u get bbl u need to sleep on your tummy so better different time like doctor said

Oh yeah! Sorry. Here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNumgdqgx8uygWQ.html

Not sure what procedure you had, but I let my BBL patients sit at 4 weeks and my tummy tuck patients lay on their tummy at 3 weeks.

i had a bbl and was wondering when i can stop sleeping on my stomach

lipo 360 w bbl is what i got and i am about to be 4 weeks post op and sleeping on my stomach makes me out of breath so i was wondering when i can sleep however

At this point I have my patients sleep in any position they prefer.

so at 4 weeks post op i can sleep on my sides and nothing will happen to my hips

No I don't. I only use fat.

one year

Have you had any deaths
