This is one of those procedures that people do not use as much as rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or botox. Big number of patients who decided for this procedure usually wants to improve appearance and to build self esteem. They are not satisfied with how they look and all sorts of exercises simply couldn't help them.

Butt implants are actually silicone pieces that are inplanted inside patients buttocks. These are the same silicone implants that are put inside breast to increase their volume. The material is exactly the same, only difference is in size and shape. But most important difference in buttock implants comparing to breast implants is that they have to endure a lot of more strain and pressure. There are a lot of movements our body makes, and most of them include movements of gluteal muscles. Besides that, you have to sit on your implants, so they really have to be positioned in right place so they do not cause any damage to the patient or to cause an infection.

We want to introduce you to all facts about this kind of procedure. There are many women and man who are satisfied with their butt implants, but there are some who were not lucky and they had a bad experience. To recover from this bad plastic surgery is very hard, there are other procedures needed to cover the damage made and patient will feel a lot of pain.

This is exactly why you need to know as much as you can about this surgery and realize what will happen before and after you have butt implants.

The procedure requires that two silicone implants are placed, one into each buttock, through a 2 to 3 inch incision. The patient will be under general anesthesia while plastic surgeon has to remove the buttock muscles aside so silicone implants can fit in the pockets. When there is enough room and pockets are made, both butt implants are inserted carefully. Surgeon needs to make sure they will look completely natural so it will not be possible to tell are they inside or not. Besides visual inspection, they have to pass another type of test. Surgeon needs to make sure they will remain in place, so that they can't move and create problems for patient.

When they are properly placed, dissolvable stitches are used to close the incision that was made before. Wound is closed with bandages and patient is ready for recovery. Patient won't be able to move and will even have problems to lie in bed due to pain. Someone should provide necessary care for the patients after he is released home. There will be swelling and pain for almost a month, depending on circumstances. After a month, patient will be able to move much more and will see how his behind looks with butt implants.

Activities like running, cycling or gym can usually be resumed about four weeks following surgery. But patient will need six or eight months until the butt implants feel as if they are part of the body and the patient completely forgets about them being there. This is a long period, but for those who did this plastic surgery was worth it. It's up to you to decide do you want to go through this to get butt implants.
