I am not sure how much fat you had injected, or exactly where, but usually you need at least two weeks of good healing for that fat to start to revascularize and secure itself into position. If you feel like you will be putting alot of pressure on the area while driving, then you should find something realy soft to sit on and help take any of the pressure off that area for the next week or so. The more pressure on the area, the more it will try and displace that fat from the desired area. I hope this helps.
