I wonder if sitting on a bbl pillow for 4 hours five days after surgery (Will be flying home and sitting on a BBL pillow) can do any harm to the transferred fat? I realize a BBL pillow is better than sitting right on the butt, but it it totally harmless to the new fat or does it still affect it?

Answer: Does sitting on a BBL pillow early on affect your results? Thank you for your question. Fat graft survival is dependent on a number of things. One of those things is pressure. Certainly you should not have as much loss in the buttocks by sitting on a BBL pillow however, it is common to graft the back of the thighs just under the buttocks to support the buttocks and this area may be more vulnerable to pressure with a BBL pillow. I would recommend only sitting short periods of time ( no more than 30 minutes) and then walking or standing in between. This can decrease the chance of graft compromise and it will also decrease the chance of developing a clot in your leg for which you are certainly as risk for traveling after surgery. Have a candid and detailed discussion before you travel with your plastic surgeon about this concerns and how they would prefer you to address them. Best of luck.
