The initial recovery period varies, but most patients can expect several weeks of limited physical activity and special precautions to protect the newly augmented area. Full recovery, including the resolution of swelling and the final settling of implants or transferred fat, may take several months. Your surgeon will provide personalized guidance based on your progress.

Following butt augmentation, patients are typically advised to avoid prolonged sitting on their buttocks for the first few weeks. When sitting is necessary, a cushion or sitting on the back of the thighs may be recommended to reduce pressure on the augmented area. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on when it’s safe to resume normal sitting.

Like any surgical procedure, butt augmentation carries potential risks and complications. These may include infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, implant complications (for implants), or fat absorption issues (for fat transfer). It’s crucial to thoroughly discuss potential risks and complications with your surgeon during the consultation.

The longevity of results depends on factors such as the type of augmentation (implants or fat transfer), your lifestyle, and overall health. While butt implants are considered more permanent, fat transfer results can be affected by weight fluctuations. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can contribute to longer-lasting results.

The timeline for resuming exercise varies among patients and depends on the specific procedure performed. Generally, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks. Light activities may be gradually reintroduced based on your surgeon’s recommendations, and more intense exercises should be resumed only when given clearance.
