Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Surgical prices vary by region, surgeon reputation, and surgical experience.  Keep in mind however that very few plastic surgeon truly specialize in buttock implants and the first time around has the absolute best chance for aesthetic success. Revision  for botch-jobs are not only very expensive but extremely challenging to achieve at least a good, not great, final outcome. For this reason, I literally have at least 60% of my patients fly in from other states or other countries as far as the Canada, UK, Norway, Holland, Australia, Hong Kong, Italy, Germany, India, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Turkey, etc. 
For recovery, the first 2 weeks is the most challenging with swelling, tightness, and discomfort. Also sitting is prohibited for these 2 weeks. Patients may return to work after 2 - 3 weeks as sitting and basic daily activities become easier.  For those whom work from home, return to work resumes much sooner if they can work standing, kneeling, and/or lying down reclined in the "dentist chair" position. After 2 weeks patients may sit for up to 30 minutes at a time, 3 weeks for an hour, and at 4 weeks unlimited.  At 3 weeks patients can resume upper body exercises while standing only, at 4 weeks upper body exercises while seated may be added.  By 6 weeks, all restrictions are lifted as life nears normal again, all exercise (including squats and lunges) and sports may be resumed again.

Thank you for your question.  I ask my buttock implants patients to refrain from any heavy activities for about 4 weeks post op.  Most patients can resume sitting after about 5-7 days and are walking normally without discomfort after about 10 days or so.  The cost of buttock implants depends on the city and the expertise of the surgeon.  Typically, if you see a price that is too good to be true, it usually is.   Please be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and has an extensive photo gallery as well as patient testimonials.

Butt implants are a good option for patients that want buttock enlargement and do not have adequate fat deposits.  Patients of mine can not sit on their buttocks for about 3 weeks.
