Can I Sleep On My Sides Within First Few Weeks After BBL Procedure?

Question

If you are having fat transfered to the hip areas as well as the butt, can you sleep on your sides within the first few weeks?

Wilberto Cortes, MD · Answer

It is not recommended to apply pressure on any area that has had a fat transfer. It is assumed that pressure will decrease the chances and the viability of fat. If you have had a fat transfer to your hip, then, stay off that area for 10-14 days.  You need to lie on your chest.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

You need to avoid putting pressure directly on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks, so sleeping on your sides and back is best.

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

You should be able to as long as you are not putting too much pressure on the buttock area or transfer area. Thank you for your question and good luck.

Ronald Levine, MD · Answer

It's better to ask your surgeon, but I normally recommend that you sleep on your side and not stay on one side for too long.

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

I would wait for 2-3 weeks before sleeping on the sides. Sleep on your stomach or walk a lot. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
