Sleeping on back after BBL?

Thank you for your question! I suggest listening to your first surgeon and do not lay on your back for the first two weeks.  Best of luck!Dhaval Patel

With Brazilian butt lift we transfer fat from one area of the body to the other. These fat cells are transferred in microinjections throughout multiple planes in the buttock tissue so that they can gain new blood supply and live in their new home, providing increased volume and shape to the buttocks.Postoperatively, no specific position is indicated and we do not have any restrictions.  The pressure caused by sitting or sleepingon your back is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the postsurgical position depends basically on comfort and any other operations that have been performed.

Every plastic surgeon provides post-op guidelines for BBL recovery.  It's always best to follow the advice of the surgeon who performed your BBL as he/she knows what would be best for your recovery. 
I allow patients to sleep on their sides. My patient coordinator recommends a plastic inflatable with a hole in it (called a lilo), where instead of your tummy, you place your butt, so you can sleep on your back with pillows propping up your neck and head.
