Butt implants are a becoming a popular procedure for those with flat or underdeveloped buttocks wanting to enhance the appearance, shape, and size of their rear ends.
Buttock enhancement is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is designed to enhance the size of the buttocks using silicone implants or fat transfer (or “fat grafting“).
- Buttock augmentation surgery is typically an outpatient procedure requiring between 2-4 hours.
- When implants are used the surgeon makes an incision between the two buttocks and creates a pocket either above or below the muscle and inserts the implants before closing the sutures. Patient is required to wear a compression garment after the surgery.
- When fat injections are used in buttock enhancement surgery, fat is harvested from another part of the patient’s body and carefully administered to the buttocks.
