Is it normal to have Tickly feeling on my bum during recovery after having butt implants? (photos)

Question

Its my 10th day post op, no more pain meds and antibiotics. I never had fever at all too & can now start sitting and bending little by little. So far no more intolerable pain aside from the heavy feeling when i walk too much. What bothers me is that tickly feeling that crawls around my bum especially the side where bruises are present. Its as if tiny little feet are running here and there. What is causing it, and Should i be worried? Is it a symptom of something i need to take precaution about?

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

What you describe sounds like nerve endings that are healing.  During this time, nerve endings fire randomly and you can feel random sensation such as tickling, pins and needles, buring, aching etc.

Thank you for your question.Assuming you have no fever, this is quite normal as the skin has been expanded quickly with the #ButtockImplants; we see this also sometimes with #BreastAugmentation, especially when there was no sageness to start with (as seen post-pregnancy and post massive weight loss).Take it easy still until all the bruising has resolved and follow your surgeon's instruction carefully.Hope this helps!
