ok, I'm hearing different do's and dont's. I've heard that I can go back to work after a week, I can sit on it right after, so I'm now I'm confused after reading slot of reviews. I know that each person is different "butt"....;) it's all the same procedure so what is the proper way of caring for yourself after your surgery? The do's and dont's that I mentioned came from a doctor......smh and not knowing what to believe.

I had surgery a little over a month ago and i'm so glad I did it. Day 8 was a huge turning point for recovery but I am still not fully recovered. I would say after week 1 you could maybe go back part time but I personally wouldn't recommend work till after 2 weeks. I read so much and got so confused that my doctor never told me I couldn't sit but I thought I couldn't so I didn't sit for a week and a half till I found out I could have been sitting the whole time :-/ I felt like a moron but oh well. It does hurt to sit when you do start sitting for about the first week or 2. I was very nervous before my surgery but i'm so glad I went through with it. It's been amazing to see the way I fit into my clothes now. I feel so comfortable in jeans and even my swimsuit(which I wore for the first time last weekend). The lipo and swelling part of the recovery was alot more intense than I thought it would have been. I just loaded up on pain meds for the first week, it was kind of a blur but still painful. I'd do it again in a heartbeat though. Good luck to you!

I agree with you there. I am at day 8 post op and started wearing my phase 2 garment which is a size smaller than the initial one comfortably. Im able to walk better also. Im starting to cut back on my pain meds to a half of one in the am another half mid day and a whole one at night to ensure comfy sleep. My Dr suggested I wait 2 weeks to return to work and to sit on my new butt.

Your BBL is on Friday! I'm excited for you. Friday will be my 2nd week in recovery. I know they emotions your feeling right now. Here's a few helpful tips I've been doing and approved by me doctor.
1. Buy a car/boat funnel to urine in. You'll see why.
2. Buy a massage table from Costco with an adjustable headrest. It will save your neck and lower back.
3. Buy cases of H20 since your at Costco
4. Your first four days will be painful, but pain pills will help. Try to avoid them due to constipation.
5. Lift the toilet seat up, roll and sit on a thick towel/ on your thighs and take care of bowels sideways.
6. Bring a pillow to lay under your belly when in a back seat of a car.
7.Use your garment and massage gently after 2 weeks
8. Be kind to your love ones whom will be there for you.
9. Be patient with yourself
10. Bring pillow (tempur-pedic) to cafes/restaurants to kneels on for comfort
11. Lastly, buy NON-STICK gauze.
That's my 11 tips. Hope I helped.
I had my 12 days follow up Dr. appt. yesterday and we are pleased with the results so far. He said, it's time to gently massage. All the best to you. Hope to hear from you while in recovery.
