The duration of garment use will vary depending on your surgeon’s recommendation, but typically it is advised to wear them for several weeks to promote optimal healing, reduce swelling, and enhance the final results. These garments provide support, aid in contouring, and help maintain the desired shape of your buttocks during the healing process. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions regarding the duration and frequency of wearing these garments to ensure the best possible outcome.

Are there any long-term considerations or lifestyle modifications I should be aware of to maintain the results of the procedure?
To ensure long-term satisfaction, there are some considerations and lifestyle modifications to be aware of. Firstly, maintaining a stable weight is crucial, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the appearance of your buttocks. Regular exercise, including strength training and targeted glute exercises, can help maintain muscle tone and enhance the results. Additionally, adopting a healthy and balanced diet can support overall body composition and prevent excessive fat accumulation. It’s important to avoid prolonged sitting or pressure on the buttocks immediately after surgery to promote proper healing. Finally, following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, attending regular follow-up appointments, and seeking their guidance if you have any concerns will help ensure the long-term success of your buttock augmentation.
