Please help! So afraid of butt touching something I can't sleep. 1 week post-op. (Photos)

It sounds like you are doing everything that your surgeon has recommended. If you're not putting excessive pressure on your buttocks, then you will not affect the results of your BBL. Congratulations on your recent surgery.

Dear ibelieve1968,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. You should follow your surgeon's instructions. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thank you for your question,As long as you adhere to your surgeon's post-op instructions and use those pillows to prevent pressure, you should preserve the majority of your fat cells. If you are concerned, please speak with your surgeon.Regards,

Recommend that you not listen to the naysayers or read pessimistic reviews.  A positive attitude plays a big role in optimum recovery.  If you are following your plastic surgeon's post-operative instructions and not putting excessive pressure on your buttocks, you will not compromise the results of your BBL. The best thing you can do this early in your recovery is to relax and get some much needed rest.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
