How to sit after fat graft to hips? Is sitting and sleeping on back ok?

SopphieDec 17, 2016
I had 200cc of fat grafted to my hips 10 days ago. I'm really pleased with the shape my surgeon has given me. To avoid re absorption how should I be sitting and sleeping? At the moment i am avoiding putting direct pressure on my hips. I hope his would be ok. Please advice Thank you
