- Hardness
- Discomfort
- Itching
- Bruising
- Twinges
- Pain over the first few weeks

GlutealArmonic® implants are not lifetime devices. However, the life expectancy of a silicone gluteal implant cannot be precisely estimated, as there are many factors beyond the manufacturer´s control that can affect the longevity of a device. The time period varies from patient to patient. Some patients could need replacement surgery few years after the primary procedure while others can have their implants intact for 10 years or longer. Therefore, the life expectancy of the implant cannot be guaranteed. For safety, as well as the most beautiful and healthy outcome, it is important that the patient returns to their plastic surgeon's office for follow-up evaluation every month within six months after the surgical procedure and yearly for the first 10 years. During the 10-year follow-up visit the surgeon will assess whether or not it is advisable to remove and replace the implants.

Your recovery process depends on your individual case specifics and other variables. Adequately specifying a time frame of recovery is up to your surgeon. Below is brief, general information on what recovery might look like:
- During the first 48 hours after surgery, you might have an elevated body temperature and your breasts may remain swollen and sensitive to physical contact for a month or longer. Both should fade away over time.
- You are likely to feel tired and sore for several days following the operation.
- You could experience a feeling of tightness in the breast area as the skin adjusts to the new breast size.
- You should avoid any strenuous activities for at least a couple of weeks but should be able to return to work within a few days. Breast massage may also be recommended as appropriate (do not massage the area unless your surgeon specifically tells you to do so).
