Is pain in my left buttock normal?

I am 25 days post op For BBL and Im feeling alot better around the stomach area and even my back. The only issue I'm having is pain in my left buttock like a cramp often now after the 3 week mark. I have started sitting now with pillows and such for support , could that be the cause of the pain? Is it normal to have numeral "cramps" in that area or just pain?

Thank you for your pictures and questions. If you have concerns with your results, you need to discuss those with your surgeon. If you are not happy with the results now, it is not likely that additional time will help. Try to be patient as things proceed.Good luck!
