PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURE: Buttock Implants (Making the Butt Larger and Shapely)

An area of the body not easily enlarged, shaped by weight training or diet is the buttocks region. Individuals that wish to enlarge, lift, and shape the buttock mounds, have a variety of different size and shape buttock implants from which to choose. The decision for the shape and size of the implants is made depending on each person’s individual desires and on their general body build. Buttock implants are very soft, SOLID SILICONE implants and are completely unlike breast implants, which are soft, FLUID-FILLED sacks.

Generally, anyone in average physical condition or good health can be a candidate for buttock implant (augmentation) surgery.

Placed into each buttock area through a single incision overlying the tailbone, buttock implants are positioned to look as natural as possible for the optimal cosmetic effect. Since this is an area of the body that is required for walking, sitting, and so many other movements, patients might experience greater pain during the recovery period than other common cosmetic surgery procedures and the recovery time is usually longer. Pain medications typically are prescribed to help with the discomfort, but after approximately 5-7 days the patient is able to be up and about; moving, walking, and sitting more comfortably.

There is generally very little swelling and bruising after buttock augmentation so the results may be seen very soon after surgery. Full physical activities are usually permitted within a month after surgery.

A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering Buttock Implants. During this meeting, Dr. Almonte will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific cosmetic goals for the surgery.
