Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol. It is very important that you talk to him about your concerns and goals. I recommend my patients not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. If you have any concerns, I suggest you follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

In general, you should not sit on your bottom for more than 30 minutes in the first week. Gradual increase in pressure can occur after that, but I don't think that there is a randomized prospective study out there regarding these guidelines.
