What is Buttock Implant Surgery?

Buttock implant surgery uses solid silicone devices placed within the buttocks to add permanent volume and projection—ideal for patients who lack sufficient body fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift or desire a more dramatic, guaranteed enhancement.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Buttock implants can be combined with fat grafting (composite buttock augmentation) for patients who want both reliable volume from implants and natural contour refinement from their own fat.

⚠️ Insider Note: Sitting is restricted for 2-3 weeks after surgery. Plan your travel accordingly—you'll need a special cushion for sitting and may need to lie down during your flight home. Book flights at least 10 days post-surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do buttock implants last?

Buttock implants are permanent and designed to last a lifetime. Unlike breast implants, they don't typically require regular replacement—they're solid silicone, not gel-filled.

Will buttock implants look natural?

Yes, when properly sized and placed by an experienced surgeon. Once fully healed (3-6 months), results look and feel natural.

Can I sit on buttock implants?

Yes, after healing you can sit completely normally. Initial recovery requires careful sitting restrictions for 2-3 weeks to ensure proper healing.

What's the difference between buttock implants and BBL?

Implants use solid silicone devices for guaranteed, consistent volume. BBL uses your own fat, which is more natural but requires adequate donor fat. Implants are ideal for slim patients.

Will I have visible scars?

The incision is hidden in the crease between the buttocks and heals to a thin, concealed line that's virtually invisible.

Can buttock implants move or shift?

Properly placed implants rarely shift. The muscle or fascia holds them securely in position. Experienced surgeons have very low complication rates.

How soon can I exercise?

Light walking starts week 1-2. Light activity after 4 weeks. Full exercise including squats and lunges after 6-8 weeks with surgeon approval.

Are buttock implants safe?

Yes, modern buttock implants have an excellent safety record. They're solid silicone (not liquid or gel) and placed securely by qualified surgeons.
