When Can I Live Like a Normal Person After BBL?

Hello, I am scheduled for a BBL on May 22. I have a work conference in San DIego on July 26th. At that point, will I be able to sit without worrying about it? WIll it be safe to sit for a 5 hour flight? WIll I need to wear my compression garments? At what point do you usually live as you did prior to BBL, without worrying about how long you're sitting, etc? Thank you!
