Recovery From Buttock Augmentation Surgery

 Whether butt fat injection or implant, recovery is easy 

The recovery from buttock augmentation cosmetic surgery whether you have fat injections or an implant is actually quite simple. You may have periods of discomfort after this cosmetic procedure, but buttock augmentation surgery does not generally lead to a painful or lengthy recovery.

Here are the general steps to recovery from this cosmetic procedure, again whether you have fat injections or a buttock implant:

1. Directly after the buttock augmentation plastic surgical operation, the patient usually wears a loose and light surgical garment. This provides comfort, air flow, and minimal inflammation to the area.

2. You may have a IV tube inserted that will deliver a local anesthetic over the next 2-4 days (longer for the buttock implant surgery than for the fat injection procedure), or you may prefer a more generalized pain pill. Either way, you will need something to ease the pain after a buttock augmentation surgery.

3. You will need to choose a method for drainage, which will allow excess fluid to drain if you have buttock implant surgery.

4. As with most surgeries, you are likely to be put on an antibiotic to prevent infection.

5. You will have to limit any activity that requires sitting on your buttock for a long period after this cosmetic procedure.

6. Soon, however, you will be completely recovered from your buttock augmentation surgery, whether you have fat injections or buttock implants, and ready to show off your new shape!

Buttock augmentation is simple, and so is the recovery!

As always, any information here is general, and you should consult with your PCP and a qualified plastic (cosmetic) surgeon before considering any cosmetic procedure.
