Immediately after surgery, Dr. Jonov will advise you not to sit on your buttocks. This can be difficult to avoid, especially because patients must not put pressure on their buttocks for two to four weeks. Since patients often return to work before this, sitting becomes nearly impossible to avoid.
To make recovery easier, Dr. Jonov will recommend using a BBL pillow which places the pressure of sitting on your thighs instead of buttocks. This allows patients to sit while still promoting the best possible results. Normal sitting, without a BBL pillow, can usually resume after about a month. Though, this depends on your individual healing and progress determined during your post-op appointments.
