Butt Implants

Butt implants are more simple expression for buttock implants, or should we say gluteal implants. They are used to enhance our appearance and lift our self esteem, among other things. Butt implants are small silicone pieces that are used in many plastic surgeries. There are no differences in material when it comes to breast implants and buttock implants.

Since they are being placed in unusual area, that takes a lot of pressure and strain, it's important that butt implants do not shift from the places they were originally placed in. If they do move or cause an infection, there would be a lot of complications for the patient and he would really be sorry for deciding to have buttock implants.

We will explain here what kind of procedure this is, and then what precautions you need to take before entering this type of plastic surgery. There are a lot of people, men and women, who have butt implants and are pleased with their appearance. But there are also those who were not so lucky, or careful enough, and have to deal with a bad plastic surgery and have a lot of plastic surgery dangers to experience. This is why it is so important to have a good knowledge about what happens before and after buttock implant surgery.

First and most important, there will be two butt implants placed into each buttock of a patient through a small incision that goes over the tailbone. The goal is to put them that way so they look completely natural and that it is not possible to tell whether you have a buttock implant there or no.

When the patient fells asleep due to general anesthesia, 2 or 3 inch incision will be made between the midline and the buttocks. Those incisions help to remove buttock muscle to create a pocket for the butt implant. When the pocket is big enough, implants are inserted in the both sides and carefully examined. Plastic surgeon needs to make sure that they are properly positioned, so they look natural and that they do not create any problems for the patient.

After checking that butt implants are placed properly and symmetrically, dissolvable stitches are being used to close the incision. Then, a bandage which provides compression for the buttocks is being used. It should also help in reducing swelling and discomfort for the patient. After that, patient is ready to leave the operation table because his 2 hour long buttock implants surgery is over.

It will be hard to move or even lie still in bed, so patient should have someone care for him, prepare him meals and escort him to the bed and toilet for at least 5 days. After that period, the bandage that has been applied after the surgery is being removed. Patient will be able to take showers and slowly gain some confidence in moving around freely. At that time, results will be visible to the patient and he can express his satisfaction or dissatisfaction to his plastic surgeon. As buttock muscles move and stretch, the result will look better. This period lasts for few months after the butt implants procedure.

As we already said, the implants will be placed in a highly sensitive area. This is the part of body we use for sitting, walking, swimming and many other movements that create certain pressure to that area. First thing you need to know is that you will experience more pain then patients who had breast implants. This means that recovery time will be longer and that you will need to have pain medications prescribed. Depending on your medical condition, you will be able to leave the bed in about 5 to 7 days after your cosmetic surgery is finished.

There will not be bruising or swelling after you finish your buttock implants surgery, so that is something good you can hope for. You will be able to see the results very soon, but you'll have to forget about physical activities for a month. It all seems fine from the outside, but your butt implants need to fit very well so you should not disturb your recovery.

Full activities like gym work, running or cycling can usually be resumed about four weeks following surgery. It will take up to 6 or 8 months until the results feel as if they are part of the body and the patient forgets about them even being there.


Risks And Dangers

Surgical risks include: infection, bleeding, nerve or muscle damage, slippage and asymmetry.

It is important to choose a surgeon who had hundreds of butt implants operations. Because this is a very sensitive area and there are many dangers of buttock implants insertion, skilled and experience surgeon is a must. There are no surgeon who will tell you this is a routine operation and it's easy to do it. If he does, get away from that plastic suregon and move to the next one.

Butt implants can burst, cause infection and create a lot of pain if they are not placed properly. Then you would have to undergo many procedures just to fix the damage that has been created by unexperienced surgeon or bad buttock implants. We believe that taking risks here is not something you want, so spending some time to find a good quality plastic surgeon is highly recommended.

This is just to remind you to find a reliable surgeon. There will always be dangers and risks of butt implants surgery, but try to reduce it as much as possible by taking your time to find suitable plastic surgeon.
