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

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?

HelloGreat question. Though the procedure itself does not involve the lower back area, the weight of the implants can have mechanical effects on the lower back over a period of time. This can exacerbate pre existing lower back conditions. I have removed buttock implants on patients with...
