Hi CrownedLevi, thank you for your question regarding whether it's possible to grow your booty in the gym after the open removal of illegal buttock injections. The short answer is, "Yes, you can grow buttock muscle in the gym after removing illegal buttock injections." First, I would suggest the removal of your silicone injections. 1000 cc of illegal silicone is a SIGNIFICANT amount of the product. In addition, you need to consider that your body has formed scar tissue around all this illegal silicone. Therefore, when you undergo surgery for silicone and associated scar removal from your buttock, you will significantly reduce your current buttock size. After you have healed from your surgery, your plastic surgeon will clear you for exercise. Clearance to exercise after silicone removal is about 4 to 6 weeks after silicone removal. When you can return to the gym, the best exercises for increasing buttock mass would be squats and Stairmaster. These buttock exercise methods have helped many of my patients recover soft tissue mass in the buttocks. Not all patients need body reconstruction surgery to augment their buttocks after silicone removal. Dedicated physical exercise, concentrating on developing the gluteus maximus muscle, can be done instead of undergoing surgery to reconstruct the buttock. You must be aware, in consideration of the amount of illegal product you have in your buttocks, that you will have to spend a significant amount of time in the gym to develop that amount of buttock muscle and maintain that buttock muscle mass. Thus, obtaining buttock mass will take time and commitment. Nonetheless, you can still do significant activity to create gluteus maximus muscle mass. Thanks for your question. I hope I have answered whether growing booty in the gym is possible after removing illegal buttock injections with the open technique.
