When Will Butt Implants Soften?

Question

Hello, I would like to know when my butt implants will soften? I had them done 4 weeks 500cc under the muscle. And also does the muscle need time to stretch? Thank you for answers.

Spasm and swelling may be playing a role at this point.  If there is any concern, I would get examined by your surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

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.

One month after surgery is still very early, and the body needs more time to get rid of swelling. These implants should soften over time. However if they do not, it is important to seek medical attention.
