7 months post-op - Can I resume heavy weight lifting sessions in the gym for lower body?

Question

Hello doctors, I had polytech butt implants placed in the muscle 7 months ago. I'm now fully recovered. Can I resume heavy weight lifting sessions in the gym for lower body or is this a risk to the implant becoming damaged or flipping? Thank you

Dear hay88,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

You must get clearance from your implanting surgeon before returning to any physical activities. Please be sure to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and is well known for their work in the medical community.
