About
Buttock implants, also known as gluteal implants, are specially designed prosthetics used to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the buttocks. Unlike the Brazilian Butt Lift, which uses fat transfer to augment the buttocks, buttock implant surgery involves the placement of silicone implants either above or within the muscle tissue in the buttocks. This procedure is ideal for individuals who do not have sufficient fat for a fat transfer procedure or who desire a more significant augmentation.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for buttock implants are individuals who:
- Are in good physical health and maintain a stable weight.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
- Seek improvement in the size and shape of their buttocks.
- Lack adequate fat reserves for a Brazilian Butt Lift.
The Procedure
The buttock implant procedure typically involves the following steps:
Anaesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia.
Incision: A single incision is made in the crease between the buttocks or where the cheek meets the back of the thigh.
Placement of Implant: The silicone implants are placed either above or within the gluteal muscle on each side.
Closure: The incision is closed with sutures and drain tubes may be inserted to remove excess fluid.
Recovery: Patients are typically required to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the new shape of the buttocks.
Recovery
Recovery time varies by individual but generally includes few days of reduced activity. Patients are often advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for a set period after the surgery and may need to sleep on their stomach or side. Swelling, bruising and discomfort are common but can be managed with medications and careful post-operative care.
Results
The results of buttock implant surgery can be seen immediately, but the final shape and size will become more apparent as swelling subsides. The results are typically long-lasting, though implants may very occasionally need to be replaced or adjusted over time.
