There are primarily two types of buttock augmentation procedures: implant-based augmentation and fat transfer augmentation. Implant-based augmentation involves the placement of silicone or saline implants to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks, while fat transfer augmentation, also known as Brazilian Butt Lift, uses the patient’s own fat harvested from other areas of the body to create a fuller and more sculpted appearance.

How long do buttock implants last?
Buttock implants are designed to be long-lasting, but they may not be permanent. The longevity of buttock implants can vary depending on factors such as the type of implant used, your body’s response to the implant, and your lifestyle. While implants can provide long-term enhancement, it’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that future adjustments or revisions may be necessary as your body changes over time. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific information regarding the expected lifespan of the implants and any potential considerations for their maintenance or replacement.

Your plastic surgeon will discuss the specific safety considerations, provide detailed information about the procedure, and address any concerns you may have during your consultation.
