Sitting for extended time after liposuction?

Asked By:lizzie_b in New York, New York

I'm considering getting liposuction from a surgeon whose practice is out of state for me. I don't have a car to get there, but I would be able to take a 3 hour greyhound bus in each direction. I've seen it said that you should not sit for an extended period of time after liposuction. Is 3 hours of sitting too long or is that acceptable? There may be a point where we are able to walk around for a few minutes, but I'm not certain.
