How Soon After BBL & Liposuction Can I Drive and How Long Should I Plan for Recovery?

Im having lipo to flanks, inner thighs & stomach w/fat transfer to buttocks. Generally, how soon after can I drive myself a few miles for post op appt & then home (2-3 hrs)? I'll plan to set my car up with a boppy. Is 5-6 days in a hotel fine for recovery? I plan to hire a caregiver for the first night. For a generally active/healthy young woman, would I be ok to shower/cook/dress/care for myself after the 1st night? Wondering if I need a caregiver longer but would prefer to be alone. Thank you!
