On the 14th on Monday this November I just got liposuction and implants in my butt. Solid silicone gel. That way they cannot rupture or leak..... I would like to know how long until I can sit on sleep on my back??? Sleeping on my stomach is extremely uncomfortable...

Answer: Butt augmentation Thank you for your question.I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon and follow their aftercare instructions because every surgeons post-operative protocol’s will differ slightly based on their beliefs, technique and experiences. I believe that the patient should not put any pressure on the buttocks for at least 2 weeks post. The first week I do not recommend any sitting or pressure on the buttocks, days 8-14 the patient may sit up to 10 minutes two times per day. Days 15 and beyond sitting is fine as long as the patient is comfortable. If you must sit for longer durations, I definitely do recommend the “Booty buddy” pillow and getting up every 10-15 minutes to walk around until you are at least 2 weeks post op.
