Why and How to Use a BBL Pillow After Your BBL Surgery

Undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift is an exciting decision, but protecting your results begins the moment surgery ends. One of the most important tools for preserving your shape, reducing discomfort, and supporting the healing of newly transferred fat is your BBL pillow. When used correctly, it allows you to sit without putting pressure on the areas that need time to recover.
Why You Need a BBL Pillow After Surgery
After your procedure, the fat that was transferred into your hips and buttocks needs time to stabilize and develop a healthy blood supply. Sitting normally too soon can directly compress these cells, reducing blood flow and causing fat loss—something every patient wants to avoid.
A BBL pillow helps you maintain your daily activities while:
Keeping pressure off the buttocks
Supporting the thighs safely
Maintaining blood flow to healing fat cells
Preventing flattening or distortion of your new shape
Reducing swelling and discomfort
This simple, consistent habit during the early weeks of recovery plays a major role in preserving your final results.
How to Use a BBL Pillow Correctly
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions, but most recommend using a BBL pillow for at least 4–6 weeks, sometimes longer depending on the extent of your surgery and your unique healing response.
Here’s how to use it properly:
Place the pillow under your thighs, never under your buttocks.
Lean forward slightly to reduce lower-back strain.
Keep all pressure off the buttocks during the critical early phase.
Use the pillow in every setting where sitting is required—work, car rides, airplanes, meals, and appointments.
Avoid soft, sinking surfaces that pull the body backward or allow the buttocks to drop.
Consistency is the key to maintaining your shape and supporting proper healing.
A Message From Me — Monica Skalsky
As a licensed massage therapist for over 30 years (CAMTC #33056), I specialize in post-operative care and lymphatic drainage. I’ve worked with hundreds of post-surgical patients and have seen firsthand how difficult recovery can be when products are poorly designed or uncomfortable.
My background includes experience as a sports massage therapist, clinical therapist, and post-op lymphatic therapist, along with formal training in Brazilian-inspired techniques through Jodie Rushing and Brazilian Beauty Formula. I’ve taught massage therapy in academic settings and have dedicated the last several years to helping patients recover from cosmetic surgery, cancer, and complex health challenges.
Every week, clients tell me the same thing: their BBL pillow was uncomfortable, unstable, or impossible to use in normal life. I knew there had to be a better way.
Introducing The Bellini BBL Pillow
That desire to improve recovery is what sparked Peaches by Wrthit and the creation of The Bellini—a premium BBL pillow designed to make real-life sitting easier, safer, and far more comfortable.
The Bellini’s dimensions (18" x 9" x 5") were chosen intentionally:
The 3-inch firm foam base creates stability, preventing wobbling or sinking when you sit at a desk, in a car, or on a plane.
The 2-inch gel-infused memory foam top layer contours to your thighs, offering comfort without compromising your posture or your results.
The overall height keeps your buttocks properly elevated so you can sit longer with less discomfort.
The compact length and width make it easy to use in standard chairs, airplanes, office settings, and car seats without extra bulk or awkward positioning.
The Bellini was designed to conform to every body—you don’t have to conform to the pillow.
Order your Bellini before your surgery so you can practice sitting with it, get familiar with your body positioning, and feel comfortable using it in daily life. When surgery day arrives, you’ll already know exactly how to protect your results from the very first moment.
Just like your procedure, your recovery should feel supported, thoughtful, and worth it. The Bellini is here to help you do exactly that.
