Getting creative with ways to sit after BBL?

Question

I'm so desperate to sit back and relax after my BBL but I'm only 15 days post op. I'm looking for ways to sit without using the booty pillow (still so uncomfortable after sleeping on my tummy all night). Can I sit in an intertube if my butt and most my hips fits entirely in the center hole and float in my pool? Wouldn't this still keep the pressure off my butt and hips? All of my incisions have been closed since day 2.

Dear SoCalcutie,it is very important to avoid pressure on the buttocks to avoid loss of transferred fat tissue. Every surgeon has a different postoperative protocol. I would recommend you to check with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Every surgeon will have a different recommendation, and I respond to hundreds of emails each week from my patients about these instructions. I would ask your surgeon about this.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

You can sit after your BBL; just make sure to shift your weight from butt cheek to the other every hour; sometimes you can be numb and this will require you to remind yourself to do this, otherwise you will automatically shift your weight; just avoid sitting on firm objects that's all.
