Recovery

Buttocks augmentation is a relatively simple cosmetic surgery. The plastic surgeon makes a cut of five to eight inches between the buttocks to form a pouch or pocket where the implant is inserted. The implant is placed between the muscles and fat to help heal the implant in place. The cuts are made with absorbable sutures and the patient can go home the same day with a special bandage that will be in place for three to five days. After the surgery the patient’s mobility will be difficult and restricted, requiring rest for several days, is no until the second week that the patients can move. At firs patients should avoid sitting directly in the buttocks or lying in their back for at least three to maximize the surgery results. Following buttock augmentation bruising and swelling may appear and remain for a few days, but they will disappear eventually to minimize this swelling compression garments may be worn. You may also feel some numbness that will pass.
The inflammation and pain can also be relieved with analgesics, but in general patients can return to normal activity after a month of buttock implant cosmetic surgery.
