How Log Does It Take for the Tissue to Repair Itself After Removal of Buttock Implants?

In my experience, once buttock implants are removed and the tissue recovers, everything goes back to baseline (similar to pre-operation) within about 5-6 months.  However, there may be circumstances (such as a extensive infection or trauma requiring debridement in addition to simple removal of the implants) where you may have a change in butttock shape or size in the end but that is quite rare.  Make sure to keep your follow up visits with your operating surgeon to ask their opinion as well.  Glad to help... @drryanstanton

Hi thanks for your question.  I am very sorry

that your implants became infected and needed to be removed.  It takes approximately 3-6 months for the tissue to recover and during this time you can have them replaced.  Good luck and take care!
