Buttock Implants
Buttock implants are a surgical solution for those seeking a fuller, more sculpted backside when fat transfer options like the Brazilian Butt Lift aren’t ideal. Unlike fat grafting, implants use solid silicone devices specifically designed to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. These implants are placed beneath or within the gluteal muscles through discreet incisions, providing a permanent and predictable result. Ideal for individuals with little body fat, buttock implants offer a reliable way to achieve dramatic, long-lasting curves. Whether you’re looking to add size, shape, or symmetry, this procedure can help you get the lifted, rounded look you desire with consistent results.

Procedure
Candidates
You may be a good candidate for butt implants if you:
- Recently lost weight and have also lost some of the natural shape of your buttocks
- Feel that your natural shape is too flat or squarish
- Think that your buttocks could use more curves to balance out the rest of your body shape
- Want to fight natural signs of aging, such as sagginess and flatness
- Don’t smoke tobacco & lead a healthy lifestyle
Pre-operative
You will receive comprehensive preoperative instructions before your procedure. The risk of complications can be minimised by avoiding smoking for a minimum of six weeks before and after the procedure and avoiding medications that contain aspirin. Aspirin-containing medicines are known to increase the risk of bleeding during and after the procedure. Herbal supplements should also be avoided for the same reason.
Procedure
The buttock implant procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring complete comfort and no pain during surgery. The process typically takes one to two hours, depending on the implant placement. A midline incision is made between the buttocks, usually at the upper part. Surgical pockets are created to hold the implants, which are placed either within the gluteal muscle or beneath it. Implants within the muscle minimize the risk of sciatic nerve injury, though they may create more projection compared to deeper placement. The surgeon uses a specialized implant funnel to reduce contamination risks. After implant placement, the incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches and covered with a sterile dressing.
Post-op Care
You should avoid putting direct pressure on the gluteal region for a minimum of two weeks after surgery. This will give time for the implants to stabilise in the new position. Showering should be avoided for a minimum of 48 hours after surgery. Constipation after surgery can be minimised by using a stool softener to avoid excessive straining. You must wear your compression garment continuously for the first four weeks after surgery to stabilise the position of the implants.
Recovery
Complications after buttock implant surgery are significantly higher compared with breast implants. You should avoid sleeping on your back for a minimum of two weeks after surgery to minimise excessive pressure on the buttocks. A specialised support pillow can be used beneath your thighs when sitting for at least 8 weeks after surgery. As long as your recovery and healing have been smooth, most people can return to work after two weeks, although you will still need to use the hamstring pillow if you intend to sit down for any period of time. Patients can return to most forms of exercise after 8 weeks, including going to the gym. Dr. Sameer will advise you on the appropriate timing when you have a clinical review six weeks after your procedure.
Complications
Certain complications associated with this procedure include:
- Bleeding and haematoma formation
- Wound separation
- Excessive scarring
- Implant malposition
- Buttock asymmetry
- Implant rupture
- Surgical site infection
Gluteal implants have a higher rate of potential complications compared with BBL surgery. A revision procedure may be required in up to 25% of cases. The gluteal muscles are some of the strongest muscles in the human body. The implants can be subject to high levels of contractile forces from the surrounding muscles, which may lead to implant displacement over time.

As with any type of surgery, an incision will result in the formation of a scar. The amount of scarring will be determined by the length of the incision as well as its location. Your surgeon aims to place the incision within natural skin folds to minimise the appearance of any scarring. You will also receive detailed postoperative instructions on how to look after the incision lines to ensure they heal smoothly, which will help minimise the appearance of scars.
You will be placed under general anaesthesia for butt implant surgery, and the surgeon may inject local anaesthetic during the procedure, which helps to make the early recovery period as comfortable as possible. Any mild discomfort can be easily controlled with over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol.
Although you will see an immediate improvement in the appearance of your buttocks, there will be significant swelling during the first four weeks after surgery. Once the swelling has reduced after six weeks, you will begin to see the initial results of the surgery, with final results being seen between three and six months after butt implants.
Gluteal implants are often chosen for creating a round and firmer buttock shape. People with slender or lean bodies may not have enough fat to have a Brazilian butt lift (BBL). Patients should know that the procedure has a prolonged recovery period and a higher complication rate. Your plastic surgeon will provide customised recommendations on the most appropriate treatment option and associated risks once you have had a detailed clinical assessment at your consultation.
