Dear lindaramirez75,I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks and they can walk as much as they want. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. But 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.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Standing and walking is not putting pressure on the buttocks so BBL results will not be adversely affected.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question.  Walking and being on your feet will not hurt your results, plenty of walking after surgery is good for you.  With every surgeon having different post operative protocols you need to discuss this with them.
