You know, I had a butt augmentation and I was uncomfortable for a while before being able to resume normal activities. Sitting on the toilet was painful. But the end result was great and well worth it.

I had a butt aug a few years ago. It did involve some pain, but was tolerable with medication. I slept on my stomach initially for a few weeks. I was off work for two weeks and was told not to sit for long periods of time.

Why do people put themselves through all that pain to make their butt bigger?
Lil Armstrong wrote on 2009-August-01 16:58:18:
The reason people like us have butt augmentations is to achieve a round and fuller butt so that clothes fit better.

People do butt augmentations for the same reason that they do breast augs. They want more volume.

Butt Augmentation and Pain?

Posted by Kaisha J • Tuesday, 2009-July-14

I’ve been working out for quite a while and don’t see any results. I am interested in having a butt augmentation, but I am afraid of pain. How much pain does butt augmentation involve?

The general surgeon did a very good thing to improve your health and your longevity. You are now at the next phase to improve the quality of your life.

This is a long term project that requires a long term, comfortable relationship with a physician that you trust. Frequently, procedures on multiple areas of the body are needed.

Although some people will go for a “mega” procedure with hospitalization, trying to fix everything at the same time, I personally prefer a carefully planned approach with surgeries on two, or at the most, three areas of the body.

It allows for safety and the ability to have these procedures as an outpatient, if one takes into account the cost of hospitalization, there is no savings in doing the procedures all at one time.

I had an arm lift a couple of years ago. My scar is well hidden. I think it depends on the doctor who performs the procedure.

I had gastric bypass. My general surgeon did not do a full tummytuck, but removed some of the extra skin. I’m ok with it, but my arms and thighs …that’s another story. I’m looking for a good doctor.
