Luis A. Mejia, MD · Answer

Hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..It is not recommended that with this procedure you handle yourself by the following conditions:- first the surgical procedures and more in plastic surgery merit rest since the body must recover from the process.- Second you will not be in physical condition since it will bother the positions.- Third depending on the technique if it is with implant or with fat has its repercussions because if it is with implants by the pressure exerted it can be damaged or it can cause a hematoma and / or complications.and if the procedure is with grease the fat by the pressure can reabsorb the majority of the percentage established in the books and the result will not be expected.

You should wait at least 2 weeks before sitting without a support cushion and sleeping on your back. Sitting with no support too soon can harm the newly moved fat cells.

Thank you for your question. You will need someone to care for you after your procedure. Please arrange for someone to travel with you and transport you to and from the airport. You will need a lot of hands on care the first couple of days after surgery sometimes longer. Hope this helps!Dr. Newall

Hi, thank you for your question.
It is not recommended that in the first days you are driving, you should wait at least 15 days minimum. In any case ask your surgeon about when you can start driving again.
