Buttock implant shifted and pregnant. What should I do between now and when I’m able to see my surgeon?

Question

I’ve gotten buttock implants 3 years ago and currently full term in my pregnancy. Over the weekend I believe that I put too much pressure on one side of my buttocks that I felt like the implant shifted. I’m assuming since I am pregnant nothing can really be done at the moment. What should I do between now and when I’m able to see my surgeon?

Hi!Congratulations on your pregnancy! You should wear a compressive garment over the buttocks if possible without straining your belly - form fitting yoga pants can help- to prevent the implant from sliding/shifting. Also if possible avoid excessive weight or laying on that buttock (which may be difficult given pregnancy and need to lay on your side). Use soft pillows to offload pressure when sitting. Seek consultation with your surgeon to assess the implant.Hope this helps,Dr. Dev
