How to Choose the Right BBL Pillow Before Your BBL Surgery
Searching for the right BBL pillow for you can be a lot of work
When preparing for BBL surgery, choosing the right BBL pillow is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your recovery. With so many options available, it can feel overwhelming to know what truly matters. Your goal is simple: protect your results, support your comfort, and make the healing process as smooth as possible. This guide will help you understand the most important features to look for before you make a purchase.
What to Look for When Choosing a BBL Pillow
Before investing in a pillow for your post-op care after cosmetic surgery, focus on qualities that will genuinely support your body and healing process:
1. Stability and Weight Distribution
A reliable BBL pillow should keep pressure off your glutes by shifting the weight to your thighs. This stability helps protect the newly transferred fat after BBL surgery.
2. Comfort That Lasts
You’ll be sitting on your pillow frequently—on car rides, at appointments, and at home. Choose materials that don’t collapse after a few minutes and continue to support you long-term.
3. Correct Height for Elevation
Most patients benefit from 4–6 inches of elevation. The right height allows you to sit without putting pressure on the surgical area, which is essential for protecting your results.
4. Breathable and Washable Materials
After surgery, hygiene becomes more important than ever. Look for a pillow with a removable, washable cover and breathable fabrics to help manage drainage and swelling.
5. Non-Slip Bottom
A non-slip base adds safety and stability—especially helpful during car rides or moving from room to room during recovery.
6. Portability and Ease of Use
You’ll be taking your pillow everywhere—to your BBL surgeon, post-op appointments, lymphatic drainage sessions, and faja fittings. A pillow that’s easy to carry and fits into various seats will make recovery easier.

Introducing The Bellini from Peaches by Wrthit
After hearing countless patients describe the same challenges—slipping pillows, poor stability, discomfort, and lack of proper support—Monica was inspired to create her own solution. Through her product line, Peaches by Wrthit, she designed The Bellini, a USA-made BBL pillow that contours naturally to the body while helping protect results after surgery.
The Bellini was engineered to make sitting safer and more comfortable during the weeks following surgery, while supporting the instructions given by cosmetic surgeons, BBL surgeons, and lymphatic specialists.
While every patient has unique needs, The Bellini was created with one goal: elevate the recovery experience and help patients feel more confident during healing.
