Preparing For Your Procedure
What happens prior to the buttock augmentation surgery? You will have lab tests, and the doctor may have you take new medications or adjust the medications that you’re currently taking.

Finally, you should arrange to have someone available to drive you home after your surgery, and to be with you for the first night.
Aftercare And Recovery
After your buttock augmentation surgery, you will have dressings and/or bandages placed to cover the incisions. In addition, Dr. Jimerson may place elastic bandages or compression garments to help reduce swelling, which must be worn 24/7. Different buttock augmentation procedures have different recovery instructions. For a buttock augmentation with implants, you’ll need to wear a specific support garment for up to 3 weeks following the surgery. This gives support as well as allows the skin to drape properly following surgery. For a buttock augmentation with fat grafting, you’ll have to avoid any prolonged sitting for two weeks or longer. This is very important! Sitting can damage the fat, and ruin the procedure. You’ll also have to sleep face down or on your side. In addition, you’ll need to wear garments that provide support and compress the areas that were treated with liposuction. Often drains are placed in the incisions to help remove the excess fluids or blood. Dr. Jimerson will prescribe pain medications to keep you comfortable after the procedure. He will also discuss when you can resume normal activities and exercise. While recovery periods will vary, most patients can resume exercise and regular activities in six to eight weeks.

You can expect to see results from your buttock augmentation surgery immediately after the procedure. Final results will be seen once all the swelling reduces over time.. You can expect your results to last a long time, as long as you keep your weight stable and stay fit. If you had a buttock augmentation using fat transfer, please note that it might take up to a full year to see the final results.

The butt augmentation procedure starts out by having the doctor perform a basic liposuction to suction fat from one or more locations on your body. This is done with a very small incision that heals quickly and with little to no scaring. The fat that was removed is processed and purified until so that it can be safely and effectively grafted into your buttock. When ready, the doctor will inject the fat into the buttock area to get the fuller, rounder look that you desire. Unlike a normal fat grafting, however, the doctor will also manipulate the muscles and skin during the procedure to pull the buttock up higher so it has a fresh, youthful appearance. When done, the incisions are closed up and you will begin the recuperation process, which is typically completed in just a couple weeks.
