The silicone gel used to make silicone implants resembles human fat in consistency, while sterile salt water is used to fill saline implants. Polypropylene is a synthetic substance that is used to make mesh-like implants.
It usually takes several hours to complete the surgery.
Since general anaesthesia is typically used during surgery, you won’t be conscious or experience any pain. You might experience some discomfort and swelling following the procedure, but pain medications can help with that.
Although the recovery period following butt implants can vary, it usually lasts several weeks. To allow the incisions to heal properly during this time, you might need to restrict your physical activity and stay away from sitting directly on your buttocks.
Butt implants come with risks and complications, just like any surgical procedure. Infection, bleeding, scarring, and adjustments in skin sensitivity are a few of these. Before having the procedure, it is crucial to go over the possible risks and complications with a licensed plastic surgeon.
