Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. The recommended time you need to wait is 1 to 1.5 month. But, I would invite you to ask to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who knows individualize each patient to give you the better advice.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Discuss this with your plastic surgeon for specific guidelines.  Because you are five weeks post-op, sleeping on your back should cause no damage to the fat cells. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

HELLOYou can sit how you normally sit, if you want you can sit on a boppy pillow. When sleeping, you can sleep on your sides if it makes you feel more comfortable, but the work the doctor did on you won't be affected by sleeping on your back.Regards

Thanks for the question.  I allow my patients to sit and work out 4 weeks post op after their BBL.  Contact your surgeon for their restrictions.Dr T
