What is the Recovery Like for Butt Implants?

Hello and great questions. Butt implant recoveries will typically requires 1 to 2 weeks of recovery. Most of my buttock patients are back to work after 1 to 2 weeks. It is important that you do not sit or lay on your butt during the first 2 weeks. The butt needs time to heal and the chance for moving/rotating the implant is high if you are sitting or laying on your butt. The scars get placed in the cleft of the butt. This way the scars are placed in a shadow. This conceals the scar. Think of it just like how a face lift incision is hidden in natural shadow lines. I hope that helps. Best of luck!

The recovery
time for butt implants in my practice is very similar to that of a Brazilian
Butt Lift. I have patients avoid sitting
for two weeks as the implants need time to heal into their proper
positions.

Many times butt
implants are combined with fat transfer, if this is the case patients still
need to avoid sitting for two weeks but tend to have a little more soreness in
in the areas where the liposuction was performed.

Patients still
wear a specialized garment after the butt implant procedure. The garment is similar to a bra for the
breasts. It just supports the area and makes things as comfortable as possible
for patients after their surgery.

Please discuss
you surgery with your board certified plastic surgeon that performs a high
volume of butt augmentation surgeries.

Butt implants are a great way to enhance the back side especially if you
don't have enough fat for fat transfer to the buttock a.k.a Brazilian buttock
lift. We instruct out patients not to sit for 10-14 days. Its okay to walk and you can sleep on your tummy of sides (if not fat transfer to hips). Most patients will need to take about 2 weeks off from work. We are told that is feels like a deep muscle sore after a long work out. We provide our patients with postop meds for the best comfort. Most patients are very happy and would do it again if needed. Its worth it! Make sure to find a "real" Plastic Surgeon you can trust. Do your home work well. Good luck
