Recovering From a Beautiful Rear End

    ORANGE COUNTY, CA, April 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Buttock augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure to help enhance and shape the buttocks. This is a popular procedure for both men and women. Buttock augmentation can be performed with either buttock implants or fat injections using your own body fat. Both techniques have benefits.

Two incisions for the implants are made in the natural crease where your buttocks come together. This incision will be hidden and unnoticeable whether you are wearing a bikini or nothing at all. Two pockets are made, one on each side of the buttocks and the implants are placed. The incisions are then closed and you will be ready for the recovery process.

Buttock Augmentation Recovery

Your cosmetic surgeon will give you specific instructions for your post-operative care. It is very important that you follow these instructions for the best results after your buttock augmentation surgery. You will want to find someone who will help you with any children, animals, and chores during your recovery. You should plan on taking at least two weeks of from work to recover. After a month, you will be able to resume more demanding activities such as heavy lifting, chores, and exercising.

Your surgeon will give you a special compression undergarment to wear that will support the positions of the buttock implants. This garment will also help reduce the swelling and add to your comfort. Pain medications will be given to help you manage the post-operative pain. The pain should be much less after a few days.

Because the buttock implants are placed where you sit, you should not sit or lie on your back. You will want to avoid placing any pressure on your buttocks while using the restroom. This is cumbersome, but important to help you recover quicker and avoid being in any discomfort.

You will be encouraged to stand and walk after the first couple of days to help with circulation and to lessen the risk of blood clots in the legs. Even though you can walk, it is extremely important that you do not attempt any strenuous activities or return to work for the first two weeks.

The swelling in your buttocks may make the implants appear too high. This is natural and will work itself out as the swelling goes down. The swelling may take as long as a few months to completely disappear and for the implants to be in their correct positions.

The recovery time for buttock augmentation using fat injects is quicker and results in less post-operative instructions and restrictions.
