Patients may sleep in any position after Brazilian Butt Lift
Patients may sleep in any position after Brazilian Butt Lift. However, when combined with a tummy tuck it is best to keep the pelvis slightly flexed and to place a pillow beneath the knees.

Sleeping position after tummy tuck and buttock fat grafts
Talk with your surgeon but it may be best to sleep on your side, turning every hour or so for comfort.

Tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift positioning
By laying on your side and transferring on all fours, it should be possible to remain flexed at the waist while avoiding pressure on the incisions and buttocks. You will find that you may have to switch every hour or so. You should discuss this with your surgeon.
