I have an upcoming BBL scheduled so am gathering all my needed supplies now. However, I'd like to know if either a boppy pillow or BBL pillow is better for recovery?
Answer: Boppy or BBL Pillow?? Best to ask your plastic surgeon for his/her recommendation. I recommend that my patients minimize sitting, even with a pillow (boppy or BBL), for the first two weeks. If they must sit, every 30 minutes or an hour, they should get up and stand for a few seconds to take the pressure off. This reduces the chance for fat necrosis. I usually recommend about 6 weeks before sitting without a pillow. After 6 weeks the fat has revascularized, and they will have a very good idea of their final results.

Answer: Sitting after BBL Dear cedezbabeyy,I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Boppy or BBL Pillow? Whatever pillow feels more comfortable you can use, I generally recommend my BBL patients to avoid prolonged sitting on any surface. I generally have them rotate throughout the night so you are laying on your back, your side and stomach and I found that rotation without prolonged pressure is adequate.

Answer: Boppy or BBL Pillow?? Hello cedezbabeyy - Every surgeon has their own post operative protocol and you should follow your surgeon's. However, for my patients I would advise either or. I really want them to have something soft to keep pressure off the buttocks, whether that be a normal pillow, bobby pillow, or a BBL Pillow.
