Buttock Implants

If sufficient soft tissue is covering the implant and properly positioned, it becomes challenging to detect by touch. Placing the implants within the muscle enhances this soft tissue coverage, effectively concealing the edges of the implants and making them less perceptible.

Buttock augmentation using implants and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which involves fat grafting, can be performed simultaneously to achieve enhanced, comprehensive results. This combined approach allows for the enlargement and reshaping of the buttocks through implants, which provide a consistent shape and volume. At the same time, the BBL utilizes the patient’s fat to contour and smooth the surrounding areas for a more natural and aesthetically pleasing transition between the buttocks and the lower back and thighs. Performing these procedures together enables a more dramatic transformation and can be particularly effective for patients seeking significant enhancement and detailed sculpting. It’s essential, however, that a highly skilled and experienced surgeon does this combined procedure to manage the complexities and minimize risks associated with simultaneous surgeries.

In a buttock augmentation procedure, specifically for the placement of buttock implants, the incision is commonly placed in the gluteal cleft, which is the natural crease between the buttocks. This strategic placement helps conceal the scar within the body’s natural contour, making it less noticeable. According to the chosen technique, the surgeon carefully dissects the tissue to create a pocket for each implant, either within or above the gluteal muscle. The location within the gluteal cleft varies slightly depending on the specific shape and size of the implants, as well as the individual anatomy of the patient. Still, the goal is always to make the resulting scar as inconspicuous as possible.

Buttock implants, used in gluteal augmentation procedures to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks, are typically made from solid or semi-solid silicone. Unlike the silicone gel used in breast implants, the silicone in buttock implants is more cohesive and firm, which helps them maintain their shape under the strain of regular body movements and pressures.
The material is chosen for its durability, safety, and ability to mimic the natural feel of muscle tissue when implanted. Additionally, silicone implants are non-porous, reducing the risk of infection and allowing for a more predictable outcome regarding shape and symmetry. The implants are designed to be long-lasting and are not prone to rupture or leakage, which makes them a popular choice for those seeking gluteal enhancement through surgery.

Yes, buttock implants can be removed if you’re unsatisfied with the results. However, it’s important to wait until you’re fully healed (usually 3-6 months) before making this decision, as final results take time to develop.
