I’ve been sleeping on my back after bbl

I have done liposuction both arms back and stomach and had a bbl and I’ve been sleeping on my back for 2 weeks now!! And the doctor barely replies to my questions and he never gave me any instructions on how to sleep i was basically awake on my back so i never had anything in mind and I’ve been sitting alot … did i ruin my bbl? :( did i go through a huge surgery just to ruin it

Procedure: Buttock Lift with Augmentation
Location: NA, NY

I have never restricted my patients from sleeping on their backs as pressure is dispersed over many surfaces. Sitting, however should be limited to use of a pillow that transfers weight to the thighs for the first 3 weeks.

I don't care how my patients sleep when they have this procedure but perhaps your doctor does and you should do what he or she recommends for you. You did not ruin anything. You need to call the doctor's office and get instructions for what they want you to do.
