During the butt implant procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the buttock crease, creating a pocket for the implant to be inserted. The implant is then placed either on top of or below the gluteal muscle, depending on the patient’s body type and desired results. Once the implant is in place, the incision is closed with sutures.

Butt implant surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a recovery period of several weeks. Patients may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising after the surgery, and will need to avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for several weeks to allow the implants to settle.

As with any surgical procedure, butt implant surgery comes with potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, implant rupture or displacement, asymmetry, and changes in sensation. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding whether butt implant surgery is right for you.
