when can i stop using bbl pillow?

When can i stop using bbl pillow?

Short answer - for 2 to 8 weeks.

But to understand why the BBL pillow is essential and what factors affect the time for which you will have to use it, read ahead!

 

  1. Why BBL pillow?
    • Newly injected fat cells don't have blood supply in the initial stages of recovery. This makes the fat grafts prone to damage if enough pressure is applied for a prolonged period. BBL pillow protects your newly transplanted fat cells from excess pressure whenever you are seated by putting your body's weight on your thighs rather than on your buttocks.
    • BBL pillow also ensures that the shape of your buttock remains constant.
    • Once the blood supply is established around these fat cells, sitting without a BBL cushion is safe.
  2. You may see instant results post-BBL surgery, but this does not indicate that the fats have settled in. It takes 2 to 8 weeks for the fats to settle in fully.
    Variation can be attributed to the following reasons:
    • Doctors use many techniques to perform BBL surgery; therefore, a considerable variation is seen in the time required for the fats to settle.
    • The larger the amount of fat transplanted, the more time will be required for the fats to settle.
  3. To know when you can discontinue the BBL pillow, you must consult your surgeon as they would have a better idea about the extent and pace of your recovery.
    • If you should minimize sitting as much as possible for the first 2 weeks, even with a pillow. If you must sit, then stand for a few seconds after every 30 minutes. To reduces the chance of fat necrosis.
    • If you use a pillow while sitting during the first 6 weeks post-BBL surgery, then your fat would have revascularized, and you will have a very good idea of whether to continue using the bbl pillow further or not, as well as your results.

 

If you are a curious user trying to understand what this surgery entails and whether it will be feasible, then our material will enlighten you on how much it costs in Turkey.

 

If you have already undergone this surgery, it's better to approach your surgeon first in this scenario. However, you can also consider contacting other doctors from India and Turkey for second opinions/further consultations.

You can stop using a BBL pillow after two weeks of your Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. However, your surgeon will give you specific instructions based on your individual case, which you should follow carefully to ensure optimal results. Remember to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for a few weeks after the surgery.

Using the BBL pillow is crucial during the initial stages of recovery to prevent pressure on the newly transferred fat cells. The duration of use depends on your surgeon's specific instructions and your individual healing progress. Typically, you should use it for a few weeks, especially when sitting.

Generally, after 6-8 weeks of using a BBL pillow based on your surgeons advice you may stop its use. The time may change according to your personal recovery rate. Stick to post-operative care directives, visit revisits, and inform your surgeon of all possible issues. Once you get the go-ahead from your surgeon, you no longer need to use BBL pillow and can start doing regular activities slowly but surely. Remember that recovery times may vary per person, thus consult your surgeon for specific advice.

Can i get a nose job at 14?

Female | 14

It is usually not recommended to get nose job at 14. It is advisable to wait until you have got the physical maturity. Thus, most surgeons recommend having a rhinoplasty in your late teens or early 20s. But still I advise consulting a reputed plastic surgeon in person for proper evaluation and assessment of your individual condition.

I just started taking prevention pills (mordette pills) and I want to start taking slimz cut (weight loss pills) would it be okay

Female | 18

Whenever you are mixing two different types of pills, you should be cautious. Mordette should be taken for protection and Slimz Cut for shedding off some extra pounds. It can be dangerous to use them together. There might be side effects due to the unknown interactions when pills are mixed without knowledge. It is recommended that you talk to a healthcare provider before taking any new drug.

When can i wear a push up bra after implants?

Female | 44

Wearing a push-up bra after breast implant surgery will vary depending on individual healing and your surgeon’s recommendation. Surgeons usually advise wearing a surgical or sports bra for support in the early stages of recovery. After some time as your healing goes on, the surgeon will indicate that it’s safe for you to use bras with underwire or further padding like push-up fibers. It is imperative to follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions in order for proper healing and best results. It is recommended to ask your surgeon individually about when it’s safe for you to incorporate push up bras into postoperative care.

Taping nose 6 months after rhinoplasty, is it required?

Female | 32

Taping the nose six months after rhinoplasty is not typically necessary, as the majority of the swelling and healing process should have already taken place by that point. However, it's important to consult with your surgeon for specific guidance based on your individual circumstances.

 

In the early stages of rhinoplasty recovery, taping may be used to help support and shape the nose. It is often applied immediately after surgery and worn for a specific period of time as directed by the surgeon. However, after six months, the nose should have largely settled into its final shape.

 

If you have concerns about the appearance or shape of your nose at the six-month mark, it's best to reach out to your surgeon for a follow-up consultation. They will be able to assess your progress, evaluate any residual swelling, and provide guidance on whether any further interventions, including taping, are necessary.

 

It's important to follow your surgeon's recommendations closely, as they will have a comprehensive understanding of your unique case and can provide the most appropriate advice for your specific situation.

Hlo I'm varun bhatt i have to done my surgery before 1 year it's called Gynocomestia and after year I mean to say today I'm feeling a little pain in my one side of cheast and i feel like something inside my chest

Male | 20

The discomfort might come from your previous Gynecomastia surgery. One side of the chest could have pain because of inflammation or collection of fluids. It would be best if you saw a doctor about this who can advise on what treatment may be needed and any further tests that need doing.

Which laser treatment to opt for curing Pilonidal Sinus?

Diode laser treatment is required for Pilonidal Sinus. Actually Pilonidal Sinus can be treated surgically only. The cavity needs to be removed surgically otherwise the problem will reoccur.
