Will immediate removal of butt implants relieve sciatic nerve irritation?

Kari02Jun 16, 2016
I am 16 days after undergoing butt implant surgery and I regret it everyday. Everything was healing fine up to two weeks until the doctor said it was okay to sit down then, so I did, it became very painful to do so, next day I wake up and my butt is so sore. I had an appt that day and turns out I had a Seroma, Dr. drained it there and put me on antibiotics. Shortly after I got a fever, shakes, chills, he said he's doing everything right.. Seeing him today but this pain on my left leg is horrible

Indeed you can upsize a year later, although probably not double the size but rather 20 - 30% increase. Please read on for more details about sizing a buttock implant. In short, a combination of sculpting your waistline with liposuction and augmenting your buttock with implants provides the ...
