In general, after a buttock augmentation procedure, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and engage in moderate exercise, wear compression garments, avoid heavy lifting, attend regular follow-up appointments, and maintain good personal hygiene.
1. Healthy Diet and Moderate Exercise
Maintaining healthy eating habits and avoiding excessive intake of high-calorie foods, combined with gradually resuming light physical activity under a physician's guidance, can help sustain the surgical results.
2. Wearing Compression Garments
Physicians typically recommend patients wear specially designed compression garments after surgery. These help reduce swelling, promote skin tightening, and assist in shaping the ideal buttock contour.
3. Avoiding Heavy Lifting
After surgery, patients should avoid prolonged standing, sitting, or lifting heavy objects—at least during the first two weeks post-operation—to prevent interference with the healing process at the surgical site.
4. Regular Follow-up Appointments
Attending scheduled postoperative checkups allows physicians to monitor recovery progress, ensure proper healing, and promptly address any potential complications.
5. Maintaining Personal Hygiene
It is important to keep the surgical area clean and dry, following the physician's instructions for cleaning to prevent infection.
In addition, patients should ensure adequate rest and maintain regular sleep patterns. Light physical activities, such as walking, may be performed appropriately, but strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent compromising surgical outcomes and wound healing.
