How can I stop my bum from being numb? I'm 3 days post BA.

Hello,Thank you for your question. It sounds like you may have compressed a nerve while spending a lot of time on your back. You should be up walking around regularly post op- not bedridden, as this will improve circulation, help reduce the risk of blood clots and help reduce constipation among other benefits. Talk to your Plastic Surgeon if you have severe pain or feel otherwise immobile.All the best  

Thank you for your question. As you are 3-days post-augmentation at this point, you are probably ready to begin some mild physical activity, like walking around the house. It’s important to promote blood circulation during your recovery, and getting up to walk around more frequently will alleviate some of the pressure on your buttocks from sitting. You can also use a donut or wedge pillow to take some of the weight off your buttocks while you sit.

It sounds as though the pressure on your buttocks from lying in bed is compressing normal sensory nursing creating numbness.  It is very important that you  attempt to be up and walking as much as possible and when you do sit or lay down that you do so on the sides of your hip and not flat.  Of course express your concerns to your plastic surgeon.
