ABOUT BUTTOCK IMPLANTS
Buttock implants are silicone pouches which are inserted under the skin to create a fuller, rounder, or larger bottom. The implants are soft solid, unlike breast implants which are also soft, but filled with fluid.
The buttocks is an area of the body which is difficult to increase in size and to change the shape naturally, therefore many women opt to have implants inserted to boost the size and shape, and add definition.
The surgery involves making an incision in buttocks, usually at the tailbone, and creating a pouch to insert the implant into.
Buttock implants can help patients who are dissatisfied with the shape or size of their bottom. This can occur following weight loss or pregnancy, or in cases where the bottom is naturally very flat. The procedure is growing in popularity as women want bigger bottoms.
