I know it’s not recommended to sleep on you’r butt. So is it ok to sleep on your belly since you had tummy tuck as well?
Answer: Sleeping position post procedure Thank you for your question! For my patients having a tummy tuck and BBL procedure, I recommend they lay on their sides, in the fetal position post surgery. This keeps pressure off of the buttocks and tension off of the incisions. Best of luck!

Answer: How should you sleep after having a tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift done? Tummy tuck and BBL should not be combined. One requires you to recover sleeping on your back and one requires you to recover sleeping on your front. If you were to have both at one time there would be no way to avoid affecting the results of one of the procedures, possibly both. Its much better to separate the two procedures, I personally suggest having the BBL first so that as much fat as possible can be removed from the abdomen and then the remaining loose skin can be excised in about 3 months when you have the TT.

Answer: Sleep position after TT and butt lift Hello Boobgang. I recommend sleeping on your side alternate with curling up like V shape in 1-2 weeks. When you walk, bend a bit forwards and mind when you sit. The wound on butt area might be tight. I hope this is helpful. / Dr. Kanit W. Thailand

Answer: How You Should Sleep Following a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with fat grafting procedure it is important to avoid applying pressure on any area where fat was grafted for at least 6-8 weeks. These grafts are very pressure sensitive, as pressure decreases local blood flow which then potentially compromises your results. Additionally our patients are advised not to sit for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks they are permitted to sit on our “Dr. Curves Curve Cushion” which will allow patient's to sit comfortably without applying pressure to their buttocks. Generally, there are no contraindications to lying on your stomach following a tummy tuck. As Always, It is important that you discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon.
