Don't despair. The problem is unfortunately not unusual but at 3 weeks probability of spontaneous resolution is very high. Try a muscle relaxant (lioresal) that might reduce pain killer consumption.

I have performed many buttock implant revisions throughout my career.  Unfortunately this aftercare plan doesn't seem right to me.  The photos seem OK but what you are describing does not.  Call your doctor ASAP. I actually recommend getting another opinion from someone who specializes in this procedure.  Please be sure to seek a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in this procedure and is well known for it.
