You must read and follow all of your post-operative guidelines from Dr. Khalil and not skip any follow-up appointments. Part of your instructions will include wearing a supportive surgical garment over your buttocks for up to four weeks. Wear the garment as much as possible, as it helps the tissues heal and minimizes swelling.
You will also be instructed to limit your physical activities during your initial recovery. Although you may be tempted to get back to your normal routine or workouts, rest and relax as much as possible. Pushing your body too soon can actually set your recovery back or, worse, cause a complication.
