5 weeks post op. I have a desk job. When can I sit normally?

Dear Andisaw1,
compression garments are used to reduce swelling and promote healing. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello!I would recommend you follow your surgeon's instructions. I typically recommend massage and compression for a while after lipo to help smooth contours and reduce swelling. Sitting at a desk might result in creasing of the abdomen so be mindful about this with adjustment of compression or waistlines.Best of luck!
