Sat on bum during ride home from hospital after BBL. Could any damage have been done?

Question

My driver did not have my bbl pillow ready. I sat on my bum 15 min drive home from surgery center 8 hours after surgery. Can any damage be done in that time ?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I allow my patients to sit with a pillow that offloads the pressure onto the posterior thighs soon after surgery. Would not be concerned about a 15 minute ride. Just follow your plastic surgeon's protocol from now on.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, MD

Dear karmella09,I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. 15 minutes drive shouldn't cause any severe damage. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
