I recently just had surgery done on 2/1/19 and it’s been a month and 2 weeks, and I’m experiencing soreness and achy feeling in my butt, especially my lower butt area. I got an intense 360 lipo and Dominican butt lift done in D.R. So I lay on my stomach a lot or if I do decide to sit I’ll use a boppy pillow for support before I sit down, but now it’s very sore to even sit down. Is this normal? Can someone please respond! I have no redness on my butt either.
