What position will I be able to sleep in after a BBL with drains?

Hello, thank you for your question. You should be able to sleep in a position where your buttocks are not compressing on the bed. So that pillows are placed under the thighs and lower back. I recommend you to discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear Rochelle585,
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. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
