Clothing stores amplify this feeling by putting suits on the display racks earlier every year. However, we shouldn\u2019t dread summer, and our swimwear shouldn\u2019t be a source of anxiety. A diet and exercise routine is enough to provide most of us with a good relationship with our body image\u2013though sometimes there are aspects that a healthy routine doesn\u2019t affect. <\/p>\n<p>Women who have experienced multiple pregnancies may suffer from a flabby backside or sagging abdominal skin. Age and significant weight loss can also play a role in creating these conditions. While a BBL and a tummy tuck can improve these issues, it can be daunting to undergo both. If you choose to have these procedures together, you may have questions about the recovery process, such as, \u201cHow should I sleep after a BBL and a tummy tuck?\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is A BBL?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarasotasurgicalarts.com\/body\/brazilian-butt-lift\/\">Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)<\/a> is a body contouring procedure to shape and lift the buttocks. The surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat from the donor area\u2013sometimes the thighs or stomach, leading to a more toned appearance in these areas. The surgical team then purifies these fat cells and injects them into the buttocks.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is A Tummy Tuck?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A patient undergoes a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarasotasurgicalarts.com\/body\/tummy-tuck-sarasota\/\">tummy tuck<\/a> to produce a flat, trim abdomen. During a tummy tuck, the surgeon will remove excess skin, fat, and tissue from the abdominal area. The surgeon will also repair any stretched stomach muscles. It may be necessary for the surgeon to move the location of the patient\u2019s belly button and adjust the shape from horizontal to vertical to create a more aesthetically pleasing look.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How To Sleep After A BBL And Tummy Tuck<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Recovery after a tummy tuck and BBL is crucial to ensuring good results. Your doctor will likely recommend that you sleep on your side after a tummy tuck and BBL. This position takes the pressure off of your backside and stomach to allow for healing. If you sleep on your back, there is a risk that the transferred fat could become dislodged, damaging your results. If you were to lay on your stomach, you might injure your tummy tuck incision, cause irritation, or prevent proper healing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After your procedures, sleeping on your side for one month is the way to achieve the best possible results. Use pillows for added support and to keep you in this optimal position to ensure a good night\u2019s rest without tossing and turning.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Tummy Tuck and BBL Sarasota, Florida<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>At Sarasota Surgical Arts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarasotasurgicalarts.com\/about-us\/dr-sessa\/\">Dr. Alberico Sessa<\/a> will help you decide what procedures can accomplish your desired results.
