## What does it involve?

Buttock implants are an increasingly popular option for patients who wish to enhance the size or shape of their buttocks. Men and women unhappy with their volume benefit from augmentation.

The procedure involves the surgical insertion of cohesive silicone gel implants. The surgeon makes a small incision, between 5 and 7 cm, in the natural depression between both buttocks, and forms a pocket inside each one to house the implant.

The incisions are not visible even with bikini-type swimwear. With implants, patients safely achieve larger, proportionate buttocks with a natural look.

## What it corrects

- Flat or underdeveloped buttocks
- Lack of volume and projection
- Asymmetry between both buttocks
- Disproportionate posterior contour
- Loss of shape after weight loss

## Is it for you?

- **Little own tissue**: You do not have enough fat for a transfer and want well-defined volume.
- **Stable health**: No active smoking and a complete pre-operative work-up.
- **Realistic expectation**: You want proportion and naturalness, not extreme volume.

Private assessment required · Pre-operative work-up and certified implants required

## FAQ

### Are the scars visible?

No. The incision is placed in the natural depression between both buttocks, so it is not visible even in bikini-type swimwear.

### Implants or fat transfer?

If you have fat available in other areas, transfer offers a very natural result. Implants provide more defined volume when there is not enough tissue.

### How long until I can sit normally?

Avoid direct pressure on the buttocks during the first two weeks, using a relief cushion when sitting.
