Can I sleep on my back after a BBL?

Thank you very much for
your question and congratulations on your recent Brazilian Butt Lift. Every
surgeon will have their own, specific BBL recovery protocol, based on their
experience and the individual patient’s needs. Overall, patients are normally
encouraged to sleep on their stomach for two to four weeks after their BBL, as
the newly transferred fat can be extremely delicate. I recommend carefully
following your operating surgeon’s recovery instructions. Should you have any
further concerns, contact your plastic surgeon’s office for their advice.

I would contact your doctors office directly to see what their recommendation would be. I typically tell my patients to sleep on their side or stomach for the first week to 10 days. Good luck with your recovery! 

The ultimate result of fat transfer is dependent upon the percentage of graft "take" vs. resorption. The less resorption the greater preservation of volume. Thus the goal is to optimize fat viability in the post operative period.While recommendations will vary from one patient to the next, I generally, recommend that patients avoid prolonged periods of sitting or sleeping supine for several weeks post operatively. Patients are encouraged to avoid direct pressure for 4-6 weeks. During this time, they will use wedges/pillows for support. They will slowly increase the duration of sitting periods reaching 1 hour (uninterrupted) by 4 weeks post op.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
