Buttock Implants

Buttocks implants are used in buttocks enlargement surgeries to increase the size and appearance of the posterior. Butt enlargement surgery often involves taking fat from elsewhere in the body and putting it in the butt region for added size; however, if you are reasonably fit and do not have much excess body fat, this may not be an option. Butt implants are then used to add girth to the rear, and any excess body fat can be used to contour the butt's size.

Buttocks implants generally add size to the upper portion of the butt cheeks. If extra fat is available, you may choose to add this to the middle or lower portions of the buttocks to give them an overall rounded effect. You and your surgeon will be able to decide the best method for your specific body.

Butt implants are usually solid silicone implants, differing in texture from saline fluid-filled breast implants. While breast implants have a very gel-like feel to replicate breast tissue, butt implants are firmer to replicate the muscles of the buttocks. Butt implants are usually put into place via an incision above the tailbone.

As we use our buttocks more than other parts of our body for sitting, lying and walking, recovery from butt surgery can be a bit more painful than other cosmetic surgeries; however, you can be back to regular activity within two weeks.
