Can you sit in inner tube after a BBL?

Question

I'm trying to find ways to sit after my BBL by actually relaxing and not sitting on the BBL pillow. I've heard of people using an inner tube and even cutting a hole out of a memory foam mattress to sleep in. I do not want to ruin my expensive investment so are these ideas acceptable?

Dear BBL0406,I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hello, thanks for your question and provided information... I always recommend my patients to not sit after 4 weeks aprox. It is safer for the results. A boopy pillow can help as well.
