Yesterday I had to sit on my butt due to an emergency and drive. I am only 2 weeks post op. May I have caused some damage?

You should wait at least 2 weeks before sitting without a support cushion and sleeping on your back. Sitting with no support too soon can harm the newly moved fat cells.

Thanks for your question...Every surgeon has different post op instructions. Generally speaking, one is safe to sit for short periods of time after 2-3 weeks post op. However, you may continue to lose volume as expected due to swelling and the fat cells stabilizing itself. Your final result won't show until 3 months post op.If you are still concerned, please see your surgeon.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Hopefully, you used your pillow to take pressure off the buttocks and placed it under the thighs for the drive.  It is critical that every 30 minutes or an hour you got up and stood for a few seconds to take the pressure off.   This reduces the chance for fat necrosis.  Sitting for half an hour at this point in your recovery should not cause any issues.  If this continues to worry you, schedule a post-op with your surgeon.
