(Hydrogel) in the area to be augmented. It can also be an implant
(Silicon shell implant) material, which is positioned under the muscle
and is keep in place by a thin capsule membrane that is formed around
it.
Risks on Buttock

augmentation
also has potential risks. Some of the possible complications are
swelling, changes in skin sensation, bruising, skin irregularities or
dimples, pain and discomfort, fluid correction, and fat absorption.
Frequently
Asked Questions on Buttock Augmentation
Q: Is Buttock
Augmentation painful?
A: Fat injection is less painful than
buttock augmentation with
implants.
In comparison, fat injection feels like a bruise while implant
placement feels like a muscle cramp. However, these are manageable with
prescribed medications.
Q: What
will I experience during my recovery period?
A: There will be some swelling and minimal bruising which subsides five
to eight weeks following the procedure. You will also need to wear a
support garment 24 hours for three weeks. For the first two weeks after
the procedure, you should sleep on your stomach and not on your back.
From the third week up to the sixth, you should use a very soft cushion
when you sit. All surgical areas stay numb for four to eight weeks.
Massage is the best way that the patient can contribute to a great
result because this will help desensitize the skin, preventing
hypersensitivity or skin irritation.
Q: When
can I go back to work and exercise?
A: Work and other normal activities can be resumed within two weeks
after buttock
implant placement, or within
one week after fat grafting. However, you must refrain from jogging or
doing heavy physical activity or exercising until six weeks after
surgery.
