Do you only have to sleep on your stomach and not your side if there is no fat transfer to the hips
Answer: Sleep position.. After undergoing a BBL, if there was no fat grafting to the hips - then sleeping on your sides should not be an issue. (Make sure with your surgeon before doing though.)

Answer: I am a side sleeper usually. Can I sleep on my side after a BBL if there is no fat transfer to my hips? I normally recommend patients to sleep on the stomach since fat is transferred to the buttocks and hips. Consult your surgeon for post op recommendations.

Answer: Sleeping After A BBL I know it is hard, but I would recommend waiting for 2-3 weeks before sleeping on the sides. Since most of us graft the sides of the buttocks to increase the fullness and give a nice rounded look, I would suggest you spend as little as possible on all the grafted areas to maximize fat cell survival in the initial period when blood vessels penetrate the grafts.We want to maximize the flow of oxygen into the grafted areas and prevent compression. Ideally we want to maximize a period of no compression on the grafted buttock areas for 2-3 weeks.
