What Are Butt Implants?

Butt implants are synthetic devices surgically inserted into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape in the area.

Also referred to as gluteal or buttock augmentation, this procedure has seen a significant rise in popularity in recent years. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, buttock augmentation surgery increased by 252% between 2000 and 2015.

Common types of procedures related to buttock enhancement include butt lifts, implants, and fat grafting.

Although butt implant surgeries are widely sought after, they do carry certain risks. It’s important to discuss the potential benefits, side effects, expected costs, and recovery time with a board-certified surgeon before proceeding.

Butt Implant Procedures

The main objective of butt implant surgery is to improve the shape of the buttocks. However, there are several methods to achieve this outcome. The two primary approaches are fat grafting and the use of buttock implants.

Fat Transfer

Fat grafting for buttock enhancement was the most popular cosmetic procedure in 2015, often referred to as the “Brazilian butt lift.”

In this procedure, your surgeon extracts fat from another part of your body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, using liposuction. The harvested fat is then injected into the buttocks to increase volume. This technique can sometimes be combined with silicone implants to achieve a more natural appearance.

Sculptra Butt Lift

The Sculptra butt lift involves injecting a filler called Sculptra into the soft tissue of the buttocks. This procedure is typically done in a doctor’s office with minimal recovery time.

The filler adds an immediate, small volume, and over the course of several weeks to months, your body gradually forms additional collagen, which can further enhance the volume in the treated area.

This procedure often requires several sessions and multiple vials of Sculptra per session, making it a more expensive option.

Hydrogel and Silicone Buttock Injections

Hydrogel buttock injections are sometimes promoted as a more affordable option for augmentation. However, this method offers only temporary results and doesn’t require traditional surgery. It is also associated with significant risks.

Similarly, silicone injections don’t involve surgery and don’t directly alter the shape of the buttocks. While some have considered using silicone injections as an alternative to butt implants, this approach is strongly discouraged. Silicone injections for the buttocks can be extremely hazardous.

Silicone Implants

Silicone is the material commonly used for butt implants. Unlike injections, which are temporary, solid silicone implants are surgically inserted into the buttocks through an incision made between the cheeks.

This procedure is often combined with fat grafting for optimal results. Recovery from buttock surgery typically takes up to four weeks.

Silicone implants are designed to add volume, which cannot be achieved through injections or fat grafting alone. Research shows that silicone implants are both safe and effective for buttock enhancement.

Implants are especially suitable for individuals with little natural fat, as they may not have enough tissue for procedures like the Brazilian butt lift.

Liposuction

Alongside fat grafting and implants, liposuction is sometimes utilized in buttock surgeries. It involves removing excess fat from specific areas around the buttocks to achieve better contouring.

Liposuction may be recommended for individuals who have surplus fat due to weight loss or aging, and it can be combined with butt implants to enhance the overall outcome.

Are Butt Implants Safe?

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, butt implant surgeries have a 95.6% satisfaction rate based on patient feedback. Despite this high success rate, the procedure still carries certain risks. Some of the most common side effects include:

Excessive bleeding after surgery
Pain and discomfort
Scarring
Skin discoloration
Infection
Fluid or blood buildup under the buttocks
Allergic reactions
Skin loss
Nausea and vomiting from anesthesia

There is also the potential for silicone implants to shift or dislodge, resulting in an uneven appearance. In such cases, corrective surgery may be necessary.

Fat grafting, while popular, can also cause asymmetry due to the body’s natural absorption of the injected fat. Though these effects can sometimes be corrected, additional surgeries involve extra costs and recovery time.

It’s important to note that the FDA has not approved any type of injections for body contouring or augmentation, including hydrogel and silicone injections. These procedures can lead to serious complications such as infection, scarring, disfigurement, stroke, or even death.

Additionally, injections like Sculptra are considered “off-label” by the FDA for use in buttock enhancement.

Do Buttock Implants Work?

Buttock implants and augmentation procedures are considered permanent, and overall, the surgery has a high success rate.

However, it typically takes three to six months for the full effects to become visible, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

You may also require follow-up surgery in the years following your procedure to maintain your results, particularly if the implants shift or become damaged.

Who is a Good Candidate for Buttock Implants?

While buttock implants are becoming more popular, they are not suitable for everyone. You might be a good candidate for this procedure if you:

Have recently lost weight and noticed a loss of natural shape in your buttocks
Feel your natural shape is too flat or lacks definition
Want to add more curves to enhance body balance
Are aiming to combat the effects of aging, such as sagging or flattening
Don’t smoke
Lead a healthy lifestyle

Consulting with a cosmetic surgeon or doctor can help you determine whether this procedure is right for you based on your individual needs and goals.

Hello Everyone – I recently attended Linia Cosmetic Clinic at Harley Street. Yes! I was scared, nervous and excited at the prospect of an “S” lift, eye procedure and B.A whilst being aware and awake. SOUNDS silly but l enjoyed it, listening to everything being explained and some lovely music of my choice. Most important of all were the staff and Mr Aslam who made you feel relaxed and confident. So anyone considering? GO FOR IT.

Upper Eye Lid Surgery – I would highly recommend Linia they were very efficient from consultation through to the aftercare. I am very pleased with the surgery Dr Aslam carried out. I had the same surgery 10 years ago with Spire with minimal success. Thank you Linia.

Customer Service was excellent, staff were very supportive both prior to and following the procedure, answering any questions, worries or concerns that I had very quickly and thoroughly. Would recommend Linia and would definitely consider other procedures to be performed at Linia

Dr Aslam has been great during this experience. The Linia team and nurse staff have also done all they could to support me. I found having my op under local strange at first (I have a fear of needles). I was very worried – but having it done was great compared to general. My recovery time was much less and I was back to work much sooner than expected.

Local anaesthetic was a much better experience than general. It was more relaxed and less painful. Recovery time was a lot quicker – there was no drowsiness or feeling sick. I would definitely use this option again if needed.
