What Is Butt Augmentation? 

Buttock augmentation with implants has become an increasingly popular option for those looking to enhance their curves. This procedure is ideal for individuals who desire a fuller, more contoured buttock area and who may not have enough fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Dr. Balinger offers a safe and effective solution using silicone implants, providing natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Butt implants, also known as gluteal implants, are specially designed silicone implants that are inserted into the buttocks to create volume and improve shape. They are an excellent option for those who want a more sculpted look but cannot achieve it through diet, exercise, or fat transfer.

What Are the Benefits of Butt Implants?  

Butt implants offer a variety of benefits for patients who want a more defined and fuller buttock shape.  

  • Permanent volume enhancement
  • Immediate, noticeable results
  • Safe and effective with silicone implants
  • Can improve proportions and overall body contour
  • Ideal for individuals with insufficient fat for a BBL

How does a Butt Augmentation Work?  

During the butt implant procedure, silicone implants are strategically placed to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. These implants are made of solid silicone, which feels firm yet natural to the touch. Dr. Balinger uses precise techniques to place the implants either within or above the gluteal muscle, ensuring optimal positioning for a natural and attractive contour.

How is a Butt Implant Procedure Done?

Butt implant surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. The surgery typically takes about two hours. Dr. Balinger begins by making small incisions within the buttocks' natural crease or at the gluteal muscle's top. He carefully creates a pocket to hold the implant, ensuring that the size and placement are balanced to match your desired outcome.

Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with sutures, and compression garments are applied to support the healing process. The results are immediate, and patients can expect a fuller, more shapely buttock area.

What Are The Steps of A Butt Augmentation Procedure? 

After the procedure, patients will need to take special care to avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks for the first few weeks to prevent pressure on the implants. This precaution is crucial in ensuring proper healing and the best possible results. Special pillows or cushions may be used to support your body while seated or sleeping. Mild swelling and discomfort are common in the initial stages of recovery, but these symptoms typically subside after the first week. Dr. Balinger will prescribe pain medications to help manage any discomfort during this time, and compression garments will be provided to minimize swelling and support the newly contoured area.

Most individuals can return to work within two weeks, provided they follow the post-operative guidelines carefully. However, strenuous physical activities, especially those that involve the lower body, should be avoided for at least four to six weeks to allow the implants to settle and ensure optimal results. Regular follow-up visits with Dr. Balinger will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress. It's important to follow all post-operative care instructions, including avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks, to achieve a smooth recovery and long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Who Is a Candidate?  

Butt implants may be right for you if you are in good overall health and looking to enhance the volume and shape of your buttocks. Candidates should:

  • Be in good physical health
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Be at or near their ideal weight
  • Have insufficient fat for a fat transfer or BBL
