Nonetheless, it's always best to check in with your surgeon and follow his/her recommendations to ensure the best possible results. Best wishes!

Hello,Thank you for your question. Once you have completely healed, your buttocks should feel soft. Normal swelling in the first few months will make the tissue feel slightly firm. Talk to your plastic surgeon about the expected timeline for recovery.All the best
