when can i smile after rhinoplasty?
When can i smile after rhinoplasty?

Answered on 23rd May '24
To answer your question in short - you will be able to smile usually 1 to 3 months after rhinoplasty surgery.
Let's analyze different events post-surgery and how/why they will impact your smile.
- When extensive work is done, the muscles responsible for holding the upper lip become temporarily weakened. However, in this event, the lip and smile will return to normal once the swelling is gone.
- At times, materials are placed between the nostrils during surgery to support the tip of your nose, generally a cartilage graft. In rare cases, the graft may slip towards the lip, altering your smile. However, this is rare and can be easily fixed with a minor touch-up.
- In some surgeries, the muscle fibers between the nose and the upper lip are separated to allow the nose tip to heal without being pulled. Patients may find that their upper lip does not rise properly in such cases. However, over the weeks following surgery, the muscle fibers should grow together, allowing the smile to return to normal.
- Apart from the reasons discussed above, there are other causes too!
Disclaimer:
- If your smile doesn't return to normal for up to a year following rhinoplasty, it should be re-evaluated by the surgeon in order to determine and repair the underlying issue.
- It is advised to limit excessive facial animations (such as yawning, smiling, etc), particularly in the first few weeks following your procedure. There are also sutures inside the nose to hold everything in place. Extreme facial movements can impact these sutures, causing them to bleed.

It is usual for this to happen, we shall limit the contents of this answer to solely discussing the underlying causes:
- Swelling, a severed anterior nasal spine, a cut labii superioris or anterior nasalis muscle, or a combination of these events.
- Interference with the upper lip's movement and swelling of the upper lip are quite common post-rhinoplasty and can resolve after a short period.
- The nasal tip could have been raised as well.

what is lipo 360 with bbl?
What is lipo 360 with bbl?

Answered on 23rd May '24
- Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a surgical technique that involves the transfer of fat from your abdomen, lower back or thighs to your buttocks and hips to contour shape and enhance their size.
- Liposuction is a fat removal procedure, wherein:
- Traditional liposuction focuses on a single abdomen area at a time,
- And Lipo 360 focuses on multiple sites of your midsection.
- With BBL, liposuction is used to remove fat around your entire abdomen region, and then transferred to your hips & buttocks.
- The hips and buttocks are then washed, and the fat is reinjected. And this results in a more contoured, curvier shape of your body with a natural look and feel.

Answered on 23rd May '24
- you can wear jeans or tight clothes approximately 1-2 months after surgery.
- This type of clothing puts serious pressure on the buttocks and adversely affects the blood flow in this area, along with negatively impacting the settlement of the newly injected fat cells.
- So, you must follow the doctor's instructions or consult before wearing tight clothes to minimize the risk.

How to sleep after tummy tuck and bbl?

Member of team ClinicSpots.
Answered on 23rd May '24
- For tummy tuck and BBL surgeries combined together, you can sleep on your side post operation.
- It is the only way to avoid putting pressure on the stomach and buttocks.
- Putting pressure on the affected area may cause the transplanted fats to move or delay healing of your stitches.
- If you have these procedures done separately from one another,
- Tummy Tuck: it is recommended to sleep on your back for at least 3-6 weeks after operation.
- BBL: It is advisable to sleep face down for around 3-6 weeks post operation.
- After BBL and Tummy Tuck combined: you are advised to sleep on your side for at least 4-6 weeks post-operation.
- You can take the support of pillows to ensure that you remain sleeping. It will make your sleep more comfortable and stable.

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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

when can i workout after bbl?
When can i workout after bbl?
Samruddhi Bhartiya
Member of team ClinicSpots.
Answered on 23rd May '24
Simply said, you can resume low-impact exercises 4-6 weeks after BBL surgery and more rigorous activities 6-8 weeks after BBL surgery.
But to understand what kind of exercise you can carry out at which stage, and what exercises will be beneficial or may spell disaster, you can read ahead!
- After the fats are injected into your butt, it takes several weeks for them to stabilize, integrate with the surrounding tissues, and establish a blood supply. In this period, strenuous activities can damage your fat cells, leading to loss of volume and reducing the surgery's contouring effects.
- Given below is a timeline of your recovery in correlation with what exercise you can perform at which stage:
- Weeks 1 & 2: Prioritize rest and take light walks daily as soon as you become comfortable.
- Week Three: Return to office work and resume light walks. However, you will still have swelling, and your fat grafts will not be stabilized yet.
- Weeks Four and Five: You can exercise during this period with surgeon's approval. Carry out light exercises.
- Weeks Six Through Eight: Gradually work your way towards your pre-surgery workout regime. There will still be some residual swelling left.
- Additional Tips:
- Exercises that will enhance your Brazilian butt lift include squats, lunges, side lunges, glute bridges, and other lower body strength training exercises. Perform after 4 to 6 weeks with the surgeon's consent.
- High-intensity exercises like cross-fit, cycling, or running should be avoided till you fully recover.
- Pause your weight loss goals for 2 to 3 months post BBL surgery
- Along with exercising, even the way you use BBL pillow will affect your surgery results.

Answered on 23rd May '24
- Do's
- Protein: Consider incorporating beans and fish into your diet before surgery to ensure that your body has enough protein for a speedy recovery. Avoid dairy and meat till the time doctor suggests you to.
- Vitamin C: it is beneficial to consume a diet rich in antioxidants to combat the effects of free radicals such as inflammation. Fuel your diet with fruits and vegetables loaded with Vitamins A and C, such as sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, strawberry, and carrots.
- Zinc: Whole grains and seafood.
- Dont's
- Don't eat or drink anything on the eve of your surgery. Because you'll be placed under anesthesia, it isn't safe to have food or liquid in your stomach at the time.
- Avoid aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Motrin, blood thinners, vitamin E, omega-3, fish oil, garlic supplements, ginger, green tea, cayenne, nightshade veggies, and ginkgo -- to ensure that none can cause blood-thinning before your surgery.
- Birth control pills, estrogen patches, and creams can lead to surgical complications. Avoid OTC medications and dietary supplements before BBL to prevent potential issues. If you consume dietary supplements, do so with your doctor's permission.
- Make every effort to stop consuming nicotine products at least four weeks before your procedure.
- Alcohol – Alcohol can cause blood thinning and can also be very dehydrating. Start avoiding a week before surgery.
- Caffeine – Caffeine elevates resting heart rate and increases bleeding and sensitivity. Avoid caffeine for at least one to two days before surgery.

when does bbl swelling go down?

Answered on 23rd May '24
Most swelling from BBL surgery will be gone in 4 to 6 weeks, but it will still take 6 months for all of it to go away.
No matter how carefully and technologically sophisticated the fat grafting surgery is performed, a certain percentage of fats will not last after a while. Therefore more fat is injected than necessary. The swelling is generally gone in around 4-6 weeks, though it will take longer to disappear fully.
Patients should have a decent understanding of their BBL results after 6 months, and there should be little to no swelling, stiffness, or soreness. All areas where fat was removed should appear normal once again, and any scars left behind from the treatment will continue to fade for a year or more.
If you're a curious user wondering what this operation entails and whether it would be practical, this article will inform you how much this surgery costs in Turkey.
It is best first to discuss this with your surgeon if you have had this surgery before. For additional advice, you can also think about speaking with experts in Turkey and India.
