Buttock augmentation by implants

Table of contents:

Gluteal augmentation has a tedious recovery trajectory and requires commitment from the patient. Because of the intra-muscular placement in the strongest muscle of your body, you will experience discomfort for at least 4-6 weeks.

Before your operation

  • We will provide you with the following items:
    • Painkillers—Paracetamol-codeine, diclofenac, tramadol.
    • Preventive Antibiotics—Amoxicilline 875 mg, 3 a day, starting the day after your operation, for 10 days.

Day after surgery

A responsible, capable adult should accompany you during 24 hours after the procedure.

It is normal to experience tension and pain in the buttocks, or the upper legs. Do not make any forceful movements of the gluteal muscles. Try to avoid sitting on the implants! If necessary, seating preferably on a special chair, or a very soft cushion. When laying down, lay on the belly or the sides.

Recommendations:

  • Muscle stretching exercises—Gently stand on your toes five times per hour.
  • Painkillers —The first 2-3 days will be the worst.
    • First line—Paracetamol–Codeine tablets: 1 to 2 every 4 hours, maximum 6 tablets a day
    • Second line—If still in pain: Diclofenac 50mg: one in the morning, one at noon and one in the evening
    • Third line—If still in pain: Tramadol 50mg: every 4 hours one, maximum 6 tablets a day
  • Bandage—You will wear a compressive bandage the first 24 hours, or will be given a special panty immediately, which is to be worn for 3 weeks.
  • Preventive antibiotics—To be taken for 10 days, 3 a day.
  • Daily hot shower to relax the muscle for as long as necessary.

Day 2

  • Muscle stretching exercises—Gently stand on your toes five times per hour.
  • Painkillers—Painkillers as day 1.
  • Bandage—Compressive bandage goes off, keep the sterile bandages over the scars for 10 days, you are allowed to take hot showers (no baths!).
  • Daily hot shower to relax the muscle for as long as necessary.

Day 3

  • Painkillers—Gradual transition to paracetamol without codeine, stop using Voltaren if pain permits.
  • Daily hot shower to relax the muscle for as long as necessary.
  • Gradually resume all activities that are not painful.
  • Avoid forceful movements of the gluteal muscle, like long walks.
  • Rest sufficiently.

Day 4 and following:

  • Daily hot shower to relax the muscle for as long as necessary

Day 10

  • Band-aids—Remove band-aids around the scar.
