For buttock augmentation, we can place the incisions under the breast, under the nipple or in the armpit. The implants we use, round or anatomical, are from well-known and proven companies and are completely safe. They are placed above or below the muscle, depending on the case.

A relatively misunderstood procedure is buttock augmentation with silicone implants. The reason is that in the past there was a relatively high rate of complications, both due to the materials and the techniques chosen.
This resulted in it being rejected as a method by many plastic surgeons. It also led to an inevitable shift to alternative ways to achieve the desired result.
Some of these are fat transfer and injectable treatments. However, thanks to the development of materials, new techniques for buttock augmentation and the experience of recent years, we are now talking about a very safe body surgery with excellent results, comparable to breast augmentation.
Who is buttock augmentation with implants suitable for?
Buttock augmentation is performed on both women and men, without any strict age restrictions. The ideal candidates for buttock augmentation with silicone implants are individuals who anatomically do not have a well-developed gluteal muscle, have a loss of volume in the buttocks due to low body weight, or have a general disproportion of the buttocks in relation to the rest of the body.
Comparing buttock implants with the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the advantages of this method are that it can be applied to practically any person who needs buttock augmentation regardless of their body weight. The result is far more reliable and does not change over the years or with fluctuations in weight. The increase in size is much more significant, and the shape achieved is far more impressive.
Balance is the secret to a natural result
Buttock augmentation surgery does not have to be synonymous with exaggerations and overly large buttocks. The aim is to give an ideal shape, without exaggerating in volume and ideally we want the changes to be natural. In some cases, buttock augmentation with silicone implants and buttock liposculpture can also be combined, in order to achieve the ideal result. This hybrid method gives excellent results, because in this way we ensure the size and shape with the silicone implants, while at the same time correcting any imperfections with liposuction and fat transfer around the buttocks.

Buttock augmentation gives shape, volume, and symmetry — with a natural result, tailored to your body.
Choosing the right materials for buttock augmentation
As in breast augmentation, so in buttock augmentation, the choice of the appropriate prosthesis is crucial for the success of the operation.
Buttock implants are quite similar to breast implants, however, they contain much harder and more durable silicone and the shell is much more reinforced, to withstand mechanical stress. Regarding the shape, we distinguish between round and anatomical implants, while some companies also offer the option of an oval shape.
The safest choice is round silicone implants, because we eliminate the possibility of rotation compared to oval or anatomical ones. In fact, if the surgeon follows all the steps, the result of a buttock plastic surgery will look completely harmonious.

The size and type of implants determine the final result.
Regarding the size of implants in a buttock augmentation, as in other body surgeries, the choice is based on the measurements of the pelvis and buttocks and from there the diameter of the implants is determined. In addition, the overall size is also determined by the projection of the implants, that is, their height. Precisely because we do not usually seek exaggerations, both for a more natural result and for safety reasons, we prefer to choose implants with low or moderate projection.
It should be emphasized that under no circumstances should breast implants be used for buttock augmentation, no matter how tempting it may be in terms of cost. The mechanical stresses are much greater and breast implants are much more likely to lead to premature rupture. In contrast, buttock implants are designed for exactly this purpose and are much more durable.
Buttock augmentation with silicone implants
Buttock augmentation, like most methods of buttock & thigh lift procedures, is usually performed under general anesthesia, with the patient in the prone position, and lasts about 1–1.5 hours. The incision is placed in the intergluteal fold, meaning between the buttocks, and is typically 6–7 centimeters long. Over time, this scar becomes almost completely invisible and always remains hidden between the buttocks. The implants can be placed above the muscle, under the muscle, or inside the gluteal muscle. Of all the techniques that have been tested, the one that offers the most natural results and the fewest complications is the intramuscular technique, meaning within the gluteal muscle. It has the advantage of better coverage in the upper pole, preventing the outline of the implant from becoming visible, while also avoiding the risks associated with placement beneath the muscle. Once the pockets are created and complete hemostasis is achieved, the buttock augmentation is performed with the fully aseptic placement of the implants and the fixation of the muscles at the intergluteal fold. Drains are not placed unless there is a strong concern for bleeding or fluid collection. The incision is closed with absorbable sutures that do not require removal. In some cases, we may apply the hybrid buttock augmentation technique. This combines the above procedure with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). After the implants are placed and the pockets are closed, liposuction is performed on the flanks and possibly the thighs, and a portion of the collected fat is injected using the EVL technique into the outer and upper pole of the buttocks. In this way, we achieve the maximum possible enhancement in the size and shape of the buttocks.
Recovery after a buttock plastic surgery
Recovery after buttock augmentation is unfortunately somewhat misunderstood, and many patients arrive terrified before the procedure, which is not justified in reality. After the surgery, a special compression garment for the buttocks is applied and usually pressure on the buttocks is avoided for 3 weeks. In practical terms, this means that sleeping must be done in the prone position, one must be cautious with the way they sit on a chair, and exercise should also be avoided for 6 weeks. From my experience, no patient complains of pain after buttock augmentation and there is no need for strong painkillers. Usually, there are no bruises and swelling is very mild.

Results from buttock plastic surgery
Regarding the result after buttock plastic surgery, the prostheses need 3-6 months to take their final position and be fully integrated. After this period, there is no foreign body sensation at all and they also do not hinder sports activities. The result of a buttock plastic surgery is extremely natural and it does not appear that any intervention has been performed.
