Can I have filler under the eyes, and a Brazilian Butt Lift at the same time? Can sleeping on the face move the filler?

Question

I will be having a Brazilian Butt Lift soon. After the surgery, I'll wake up on my stomach, and sleep on my stomach for a long time to avoid damaging the transfered fat. I also want to have some liposuction on the neck/chin, and filler like Restylane under the eyes and maybe in the cheeks/nasolabials. Is it a bad idea to do these in one surgery? Could I ruin the results on my face and neck by sleeping with my face pressed against the pillow? Could that move or flatten the filler?

Thank you for your question. It is not a good idea to have all these procedures done at once. Some of these procedures require anesthesia and medicines to prevent pain. I suggest having your Botox and fillers done a week before your butt lift and liposuction. Do not be in hurry to have all the procedures as safety comes first. Best of Luck!

While it is highly unlikely that the filler would migrate from sleeping on your stomach, it is a possibility and not a risk worth taking in my opinion. I would not recommend doing everything at once - maybe the filler first and give it a good week or so before your surgery so that it has time to settle and there will be no risk of moving anything while sleeping on your stomach. Good luck!

It is not a good idea to have all these procedures at once. Some require anesthesia and some drugs to prevent pain and there is a limit that is safe. I suggest you have the Botox and filler first, wait a week and then the butt lift and after all is healed any other surgery you may want. Don't hurry things and be careful

I think that if the filler is placed deeply around the eyes (under the muscle) and assuming you are sleeping with a moderately soft pillow, there is low risk of moving fillers. More frequently, and I see this frequently, filler moves in response to being pushed or pulled by muscles so I think it is helpful to minimize facial movements after injections in the marionette and jawline
I would think carefully about working on two areas of the body simply in terms of comfort because I think it would unpleasant to have both done at once.
