What is butt implant "fluffing"?

Question

I just had intramuscular butt implant surgery on 1/12/2021, 434cc round on a 5'7 129lbs. frame. I understand settling means the muscle relaxes and implants drop, for lack of better terms, into designated position. But what does fluffing mean? Will my butt look bigger, rounder, or? How long does it take for that to happen? Not rushing anything, I'm just very curious and excited Thank you so much!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

It may take several months for the butt implant to settle into the pocket, i.e. fluffing. For most patients it takes six months for the swelling to subside and the tissues to relax.

Douglas M. Senderoff, MD, FACS · Answer

As your buttock implant heals it will also soften and become more relaxed looking. Normally, this means it will also look more natural and shapely. Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and is well known for it.

Fluffing is not a regular medical term used in plastic surgery.

I suggest you do a Google search for the term and you can get some general understandings of what the word means.

If your surgeon used the word then you should ask your surgeon what it means.

Best,
