Does the complete resolution of everyone’s “duck butt” occur after several months of walking and strengthening the quadriceps and gluteal muscles? Will hip flexor tightness diminish over time irrespective of stretching? It likely varies based on the severity, but envision it being quite prominent shortly after ending limb lengthening.

Duck butt moves away from everyone according to diaries. You just need to strengthen your glutes significantly.

It is much less severe than ballerina and drop foot, so you will not be walking like a duckling indefinitely.
