Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The most accurate answer will be provided by the plastic surgeon who performed your BBL.I recommend that my patients minimize sitting, even with a pillow, 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.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

I prefer my patients use it for at lest 2-3 weeks.  Some say longer.  You need to check with your doc.

Thank you for sharing your doubts with us.  After a BBL you may need to reduce the direct pressure on the butt area.  The pillow can be very helpful for this purpose and should be used for a period of one month. 
Have a great day,  Best of Luck.
