What should I buy to prepare for my butt implant surgery?

Question

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!

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Whatever surgeon you choose should have a competent list of items and/or instructions on how to prepare best for your buttock implant surgery. That being said, unlike BBL surgery, a compression garment and a “BBL pillow“ is usually not necessary or helpful, provided the implants are properly placed within the gluteus muscles. Glad to help.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

• Have your prescriptions filled and take to surgery.• Get the tests recommended by your doctor done.• My AAAASF Accredited PS Center provides the compression garment but your board certified PS may not; check with the patient coordinator.

Dear diananguyenx3,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

The best thing you can get is a pillow that will allow you to sit without putting pressure on your buttock for about 10 days post op. Please be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and is well know for their work in this field.
