I need to take a pretty long flight back home. (7 hours) I plan on waiting a couple of weeks post op. & I plan on purchasing the happy butt pillow.. Also will do my best to be getting up every 30 min or so.. Need to make sure this pillow will fit. Also, if people can't sit after- how do they ride home? Any recommendations is welcomed! TIA!

Every PS will have different post-operative instructions; you need to follow whatever your doctor recommends. My patient coordinator recommends a plastic inflatable with a hole in it (called a lilo), where instead of your tummy, you place your butt, so you can sleep on your back with pillow...
Thanks for your question.You are at higher risk for blood clots than the general population. The procedure can be done with taking blood thinners around the time of surgery, but it is still of high risk.Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question. Don't worry that fat cells are dying because of this as there is no real reason for this to happen. The pressure caused should not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells.
