I am having pain that runs down my left leg after having butt implants placed about a week ago. Only thing that stops the pain is my pain killers but I can't take them anymore since I have to return to work. I've tried stretching. No swelling. Is it normal? Anything I can do to help it?
Answer: Butt implant? It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal butt image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your buttock will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. Liposuction of your lower back and fat transfer is also helpful as an adjunct to implants. Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon.

Answer: Leg pain post butt implants Thank you for your question. Some degree of pain is still acceptable in the first week following buttock augmentation with implants. But I would suggest bringing it under the attention of your surgeon, so that they can guide you on the appropriate further investigation and management to ensure that what you are feeling is considered normal in terms of your post op course.
