Is it normal to get muscle spasm in the butt cheeks after a BBL? 1 month post-op.

Question

My legs and butt also get tingling when I walk, drive or sleep. I'm 4 weeks post op and I constantly get muscle spasm in my butt cheeks throughout the day. It started 2 weeks post op me now it's more constant. What is the cause of this? Should I be concerned?

That is a bit unusual.  Some patients will experience tightness and pains as the scar is being made and activity is increased.  It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen plastic surgeon as recommendations may be different.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear Steph.Steph,you shouldn't have tingling and muscle spasm one month after a BBL. On of the common cause of tingling and muscle spasm is low back pain. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
