I prefer that patients avoid sitting for the first few weeks. They can get a special pillow that sits under their thighs and avoids pressure on their buttocks. Kneeling is probably not a good idea.

Thank you for your question.Your best resource is your surgeon so I would follow their post op instructions for optimal results but here are the aftercare instructions that I recommend to my patients in regards to sitting; I believe that the patient should not put any pressure on the buttocks for at least 3 weeks post op as it can increase the risk of the fat cells not surviving. The first week I do not recommend any sitting or pressure on the buttocks, days 8-14 the patient may sit up to 5 minutes two times per day.  Days 15-21 the patient may sit up to 9 minutes five times a day only then days 22 and beyond sitting is fine as long as the patient is comfortable. If you must sit for longer durations or sooner than 3 weeks, I definitely do recommend the BBL pillow and getting up every 10-15 minutes to walk around until you are at least three weeks post op. I hope this helps.Sincerely,
