Is it safe for me to get a tattoo post butt implants?

Question

Im planning on getting a tattoo on my buttocks and i just recovered from butt implants, is that a safe move ?

Moises Salama, MD · Answer

I would recommend waiting at least 5-6 months after your procedure to get a tattoo. This allows for the inflammation to subside. But please consult with your surgeon.

Luis E. Redondo, MD · Answer

The risk of a tattoo needle perforating the implant on a right placed implant is 0, so its safe. Now is it a good idea to do it just after recovered from the surgery??  NO,  you should at least wait until all the swelling goes off so your tattoo artist will be able to do his work without the risk of deformities in the future.

Robert H. Hunsaker, MD · Answer

This is a surprisingly common question. yes, you can get a tattoo. It would be best to wait until any swelling within the skin itself is gone. In my experience 6-8 weeks is plenty after implants, longer after fat grafting.
