I recommend that my patients not sit for longer than 30 minutes for the first couple of weeks. Use pillows under your buttock and back of thighs when you do.

If you are in so little pain that you do not require pain meds, and your doctor clears you (not sure if he went intramuscular or subfascial, or if fat was transferred as well), it might be possible with a specialized pillow.
