I have a consultation with my doctor on the 30th of September and was wondering what I should buy to prepare for my butt implant surgery. Do I need compression garments if I am not getting a BBL? Thank you!

Depending upon which implant brand/model you have, they may be able to be exchanged for a softer semi-solid silicone rubber version. Although it is not obvious from your photo, capsular contracture (just like with breast implants) can also make the implants feel more hard and immobile. If this...
