how to sleep after tummy tuck and bbl?

How to sleep after tummy tuck and bbl?

Answered on 23rd May '24

  • For tummy tuck and BBL surgeries combined together, you can sleep on your side post operation.
    • It is the only way to avoid putting pressure on the stomach and buttocks.
    • Putting pressure on the affected area may cause the transplanted fats to move or delay healing of your stitches.
  •  If you have these procedures done separately from one another, 
    • Tummy Tuck: it is recommended to sleep on your back for at least 3-6 weeks after operation.
    •  BBL: It is advisable to sleep face down for around 3-6 weeks post operation.
  • After BBL and Tummy Tuck combined: you are advised to sleep on your side for at least 4-6 weeks post-operation.
    • You can take the support of pillows to ensure that you remain sleeping. It will make your sleep more comfortable and stable.

Sleep on your back after a tummy tuck and BBL with pillows for easier comfort. Do not sleep on the stomach to avoid stretching treated areas. Elevate your whole upper body to decrease the swelling using a wedge pillow or other adjustments. Adhere to the individual sleep recommendations given by your surgeon for a thorough and secure recovery. Pay attention to your body’s signs and contact with a surgeon when needed.

I had a breast reduction and double liposuction 8 days ago. if I smoke weed today will that mess with my healing badly? I still have sutures in and like partially opens insisions you know

Female | 19

It's important not to smoke weed after a breast reduction and liposuction. Healing can be affected by this which may cause a slow healing process or more risks for infection. Oxygen flow will decrease when you smoke marijuana preventing proper tissue healing in turn leads to your body not getting enough oxygen that it needs for proper healing process.
