Answer: BBL Hi, thanks for your inquiry, I suggest to have a doughnut pillow with you so you can avoid putting pressure on your buttocks and alternate laying sideways as much as possible. Good luck in your PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon

Answer: Positioning on the way home While I never follow my patients out to the car to see how they actually get home from surgery, I recommend they sit if it is a short ride, and stop frequently to get out and walk around if it is more than an hour long ride. I cannot sanction anything that isn't safe, but I have had several patients (after the fact) tell me that they laid long-wise in the back seat on their side and put a seatbelt over their mid-section. Another probably more comfortable option is to stay in town for 1-2 nights so you don't face such a long drive home while having pain and recovering from the anesthetic. No matter what you do, make sure you get out and walk around frequently on the drive home, as recent surgery puts you at a higher risk of a blood clot in your legs that could potentially travel up to your lung.
