What is the best way to sleep after combined thigh lift+fat transfer to buttocks?

I know the correct position to sleep for BBL is stomach and for thigh lift is back. What about getting them at the same time. Should I use one of those pads with a hole for the buttocks to "float" in? These are used when sleeping on the back.

The skin and tissues of the inner thigh are naturally thin, and at your age there is additional laxity. Lipo under these corcumstances almost always causes loose, saggy skin that needs to be lifted. You would have a scar in exchange for a less saggy leg with better shape.
