Thank you for your question, this will vary on the type of job you have, if its a desk job where you regularly sit most of the time I would advice to wait two weeks for the fat to have enough time to grasp to its new location, you can also use a soft pillow for you to sit on and not affect your results. If you work in another field where heavy lifting and strenuous work activities are needed I would advice to wait at least three weeks.
