The procedure of the buttock operation

First the doctor cuts the skin according to the planned scheme and removes the excesttive tissue and loose skin. The cut is done on places enabling the scar to be hidden in natural skin folds or in underwear. The wound is then closed with usual stitching. In case of major surgical interventions, a drainage tube is put in the wound before the end of the operation. It stays there for 24 hours and helps to lead the blood and interstitial fluids out of the wound to prevent an inflammation. At the end is the wound covered with a sterile gauze and elastic bandage, which is necessary for the even reattachment of the tissue.

The doctor will probably recommend you to start walking as soon as possible. It helps to reduce the swelling and prevents blood clots. You shall probably feel better after one or two weeks after operation and in a few days you should return to you work. It is very important to wear elastic underwear. The period in which you should use this type of underwear depends on the size of surgical intervention. It usually lasts for two months. The stitches are usually removed in 10 – 12 days after the operation. You should not practice sports and other physical activities for one months. All the burning and swelling should disappear in three weeks, it is however possible that the swelling lasts for six and more months. In case of body temperature higher than 38°C, immediately seek medical advice. You must follow instructions of your surgeon and keep the plan of your visits. It is necessary for the surgeon to observe your progress and consider, whether you need some of the additional procedures.
