6 weeks post BBL. When can I lay on my back?

Question

Sean Kelishadi, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. You should double check with your surgeon about when you can lay on your back.  My own protocol is as follows: expect to be sore for 5-10
 days, no heavy lifting for 2 weeks, and your bruising (if any) will 
resolve usually by 3 weeks.  I like my patients to wear a pressure 
garment for 3 months.  Some surgeons say you can't sit on your buttocks 
for 2 months, but I think there is no science to back up that 
recommendation, and I have my patients sitting within a few days and our
 fat grafts seem to do pretty well.  Remember that each surgeon has 
their own protocol and please follow the instructions of your particular
 surgeon catered to your individual needs. Be sure to seek consultation 
with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in advanced body 
contouring techniques. I hope this helps!Dr. Sean Kelishadi

I usually allow patients to lie on their back after about 2-3 weeks provided that they do not stay in one position too long. Best to ask your surgeon.

Typically four weeks after you can sit and lay on your buttocks however some patients prefer to extend this time a little moreto about 6-8 weeks so i would say you are in the right stageto be able to enjoy finally laying on your back .Good luck!
