Pillow for flight after BBL?

Question

I am thinking about getting a tempurpedic neck roll to place under my thighs for my flight home and work at my desk. I am also getting a boppy pillow for my bum, but I'm thinking of the boppy as insurance. Like if I accidentally fall back or slip and fall asleep on the plane, at least I'll have a cushion under me. Will the tempurpedic pillow cause more harm? I'm flying 2-3 hrs 11 days post op and returning to work on the 12th day. My thighs will not receive lipo. Many thank yous in advance!

Thank you for your question.Obviously, follow your surgeon's instructions. I recommend no sitting for 3 weeks after Brazilian Butt Lift for best results.

To be sure, see two or more experienced,
board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are
a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Ask your surgeon, or their staff, what would be the best course of action for your flight home.  However, at 11 days, you still need to offload as much weight from your buttocks as possible.  A very soft pillow is certainly a good start.  Take care and good luck.

Every surgeon will have a different postoperative regimen, so I would ask your surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to wait at least 10 days before flying back to home, and you should not sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. If you have any concerns, I suggest you follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Every surgeon has carefully designed his own post operative instructions. It makes no sense for you to have your BBL with one surgeon and then follow the advice of others on this or other sites. For your own safety consult with your surgeon before you do anything until he has cleared you.
