I'm worried about recovery after my butt implants?

The most important thing to know and understand about recovery from buttock implants is that the first two (even three) weeks is crucial - this is the time period with the most pain and importance for wound healing, thus sitting down is prohibited during this time except for using the bathroom and the occasional sitting in a car ride for a doctors appointment.  Standing and walking (especially within the household) is not that bad but your energy level may be low the first 5 - 7+ days.  Glad to help...

Butt Implant Recovery and options
Buttock implant surgery requires a more lengthy recovery period than fat transfer butt augmentation. With your busy schedule and responsibilities you might want to consider some other options. Since the incisions are made for the surgery in areas more prone to infection and separation, potential complications can occur. Patients must understand that following buttock implants they will not be able to sit down for at least 14-21 days and will not be able to resume most normal activities for a month to 6 weeks. More rigorous activities will not be able to be enjoyed for about two months after the buttock implants. Patient may be required to wear a compression garment offering support for either technique.. Still, for patients unhappy with their backside appearance, the growing availability of buttock implants has allowed them to achieve a more pleasing figure.Fat transfer is a great alternative in many patients and allows for a rapid recovery.
