Is there a certain pillow to sit on after butt augmentation?

Thank you for your question.  This question should be addressed directly with your operating surgeon, as the opinion amongst physician varies when it comes to post-op care specifics.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Hello,There are many pillows available for BBL  and each doctor have there own recommendations. Two of the most commons are Boppy pillow and BBL pillow. The best recommendation is to avoid sitting on your buttock for the first 2 to 3 weeks.Dr.Llorente

Thank you for your question about a pillow after #buttock surgery.I perform buttock augmentation with both fat fransfer - the so-called #BrazilianButtLift - and with implants and often with a combination of both implants and fat to get more outer fullness.Fat grafting is a delicate procedure when the transferred fat needs to acquire new blood vessels quickly so it can get oxygenated.  Any pressure or excessive movement may compromise the newly transferred cells.As for implants, any sitting will apply a 'stress' on the incision in the midline by forcing both buttocks out.So for both procedures it is best to lay on one's side or over the abdomen.  I recommend also, like my colleagues, to wait 3 weeks, with the exception of when one goes to the washroom; in this instance, a gentle and controlled short sitting is allowed.All the risks that we know with #ButtockAugmentation (loss of fat, implant shift, wound opening, seroma) have been reduced in my Toronto practice since I have applied the 3 week rule.  It is very important to follow your #PlasticSurgeon recommendations.I hope this helps!All the best, Dr Marc DuPere

Boppy pillow which we call a donut pillow works well after buttock procedures. Normal pillows are ok aswell.

While I do not specifically recommend any pillow per se, there are BBL pillows that rest under the upper thighs to keep the buttock off a chair.

No there is not a special pillow to sit on after butt augmentation by Fat Transfer Injection. In my practice I do not recommend my patients to do anything different.

In my practice I tell patients not to sit or lie on their buttocks for 2 weeks.  This way the fat does not get compressed right after surgery.  Then after that time I have patients use a pillow similar to a "Boppy" pillow that women use for breast feeding. It limits the pressure on the central part of the buttocks and is adjustable for all body types as it is open on one side.  I am sure your surgeon will have some suggestions as well.  Where I trained in Miami - the Brazilian Butt Lift capitol of the US - that is the pillow we used for patients with great success.  Good luck with your surgery.

Hello! Sittting after a Butt lift is tricky-- if you have fat you do not want to put direct pressure on it for a while and with implants the same is true. I would say laying on your side or stomach is the best bet right after surgery.good luck

After a fat transfer buttock augmentation, I think it is best to avoid direct sitting n the buttocks for  2-3 weeks.  When laying down I think the side position is best to avoid compressing the fat graft. I do not recommend any specific pillow.
