After a BBL, you should not sleep face down on your back for several weeks in order to avoid pressure on the newly transplanted fat. Surgeons usually advise to sleep on your side or use a donut pillow, which minimizes the pressure against buttocks during early recovery. Follow your surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions and individual recovery progress. It is important to follow your surgeon’s advice in order for you to get the desired result with minimal risks of complications.

  • After the surgery, you must avoid sleeping or sitting on your back for at least the first eight weeks to get the best results.
    • However, avoid lying on the treated area or applying too much pressure for long period.
    • It can stiffen, deform, and even cause the newly transplanted fat cells to absorb into buttocks, and this happens because the fat needs to re-establish a blood supply in its new surroundings.
