My doctor suggested to do a BBL; fat grafting on my face (cheeks and lips+ upper lip lift). My concern is recovery: how would I sleep/ lay down if I have my butt and face done at the same time? He told me it should not be a problem but I need opinion from other doctors!

Answer: Can I get a BBL at the same time as facial fat grafting? Hi. After a BBL is perfectly possible to sleep on your back and sit. There is no scientific evidence that this positions will jeopardize the transfered fat in any way.What really matters is to harvest the fat by traditional Lipo (to keep the integrity of the fat cell that will be transfered to the receptor area) and to not have massages or ultrasound in the area. No special pillows are neccesary nor avoiding sitting or needing to sleep face down at all. That is a myth.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

Answer: BBL and Fat grafting Hello darling! Thank you for questioning..Usually after getting BBL done there is no much trouble if you lay down after a few days of surgery. I'd recommend sleeping on your side at least the first 4-6 days and then lay down without problem. I'd suggest consulting your doctor always and discuss any inquires.Best regards,Dr. Jiménez ToribioPlastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.
