Bouncing Back After Surgery: Why Burpees, Bowling, and Your BBL Floatie Can Wait

Three weeks out, you feel amazing, and your group chat is full of friends checking into LaGree class — that’s exactly when the trouble starts. Dr. Kat Gallus and Bri break down the recovery questions people actually ask (usually on day three, not week three): can I scuba dive, can I ski, can I do a HIIT class, can I go paragliding? Spoiler — no.They walk through the recovery toolkit nobody sets up in advance: who’s staying with you the first night, what to eat so your incisions actually heal, when it’s safe to restart your GLP-1, why nicotine wrecks healing, and the pillows and garments that make the first two weeks survivable. Plus the one rule that ties it all together — be boring, be basic, and protect the investment.Meet La Jolla plastic surgeon Dr. Kat GallusStories referenced in this episode:Refinery29, Cardi B Gets Candid About Her Liposuction Recovery: “It’s A Long, Hard Process”Questions answered by this episode:How long after plastic surgery can I go back to the gym?What do I need to have ready at home before surgery?Do I need someone to stay with me the first night after surgery?Can I work out the next day after a minimally invasive breast augmentation?What should I eat after surgery to heal faster?When can I restart my GLP-1 (Ozempic, semaglutide) after surgery?Why does smoking or nicotine slow down wound healing?Is it normal to swell more once I start exercising again?What pillows and recovery gear do I actually need for a BBL?Why am I still swelling weeks after my tummy tuck?Hosted by San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Kat Gallus and her trusty sidekick scrub tech Bri, this is a podcast for women who have always wished they had a slightly snarky, super experienced, and totally unintimidating female plastic surgeon as their BFF to help sort through the what, where, and why of the available cosmetic treatment options.All the B’s covers aesthetics and plastic surgery through the lens of trending pop culture stories and celebrity gossip.Who are the B’s?
