I am getting a BBL so that means I cannot lay or sit on my bottom for 2 weeks but I have a desk job. Any ideas of how I can sit?

Question

Is there some sort of pillow type thing for people who are getting this surgery to make things more comfortable so you can sit some sort of way?

Yily De Los Santos, MD · Answer

Not sitting for days after a BBL is something not all doctors agree. I particularly advise my patients to sit right away and it will not affect their results. An option is to use a pillow under your buttocks so you don't put much pressure on them.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

You can purchase special pillows/cushions that can rest under your thighs to limit pressure on your buttocks. Discuss with your surgeon what he/she recommends.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Dr. Schwartz

Different surgeons have different protocols for sitting. In general, it is encouraged that you stay off of your product. The most simple way is to put a pillow underneath your thighs and let your butt hanging off of it.There're several commercially available pillows that can help, but regular pillow will also work. Another trick is to use an exercise ball to sit on at your desk. It also helps strengthen your core!It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic
surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has
extensive experience in buttock augmentation.

I wish you the best.

Many of my patients have used a nursing pillow during their recovery period.  It allows you to sit comfortably without putting undue pressure on the newly grafted fat.

There are special cushions that you can buy that can rest under your thighs to limit pressure on your buttocks. Best of luck.
