Nowadays buttocks augmentation is to be seen as a complete integration among buttocks, hips, outer/upper thighs and lowest buttocks portion. Any noticeable division between any of these areas will be immediately perceived as obvious implants presence and poor aesthetic results, thus fake outcome.

No longer buttock implants represent the overall solution for poorly developed gluteus muscles, being that this condition is likely to be associated with poor development in the surrounding areas too.

Trying to get implants to reach outer hips edges in order to get bilateral hips expansion is not really feasible, whilst aiming to fill lowest buttocks portion is not possible either. Buttock implants can only be suitable for the middle of buttocks only due to the anatomical structure of gluteus muscles, yet all the surroundings are left unattended.

Throughout many years of experience in this field, our records hold a significant amount of muscle ruptures and implant displacements which have led to implants removal altogether. Although we have a fair amount of happy patients, we realize buttock implants are not suitable for everyone: they demand too much discipline, a considerable long recovery period and many precautionary measurements which people tend to forget, thus causing complications. Buttock implants in the long run, may cause gluteus muscles to become relaxed with a non aesthetic appearance and evident implants descent.

Bioplasty by PMMA has become an important instrument for the whole context represented by upper, middle and lower buttocks as well as hips expansion. Avoiding surgery and down time are key aspects to have in mind when reaching a decision.

Regarding buttocks augmentation, let us say the number of people opting nowadays for Brazilian butt lift or Bioplasty rather than butt enlargement by surgery is growing day by day due to the enormous difference between one procedure and the other in terms of safety, avoiding complications, no downtime and totally natural results.

Within our professional experience we realized that people tend to opt for buttock implants not knowing exactly what it will involve in terms of immediate post-op recovery (not less than 3 weeks over here), dedication and care once back at home for at least 4-6 more months, continuous consciousness needed for the rest of their lives being that place where implants are located is nothing near to what breast implants are and the area is always under continuous stress and strain.

Furthermore and in addition to everything we have just mentioned, people tend to think the larger their buttocks volume expectation is, the closer they will be to achieving their goal if opting for buttocks surgery. Once again, experience placing large implants as per patient’s request has brought us nothing but disappointment; we find buttock implants can be a great option only if small implants are placed and also if patient has a compatible life style according to this procedure’s demands.

Those patients still interested in having silicone gel implants placed on them, will only be considered optimal candidates if totally meeting plastic surgeons’ criteria based on age, weight, buttocks flaccidity, muscle sagginess, to have had no previous buttocks surgery besides having very conservative expectations regarding final buttocks volume. Other factors such as lifestyle, general health conditions and chronic diseases will also be taken into consideration. Doctors will require a signed commitment on behalf patient to comply with no less than 3 weeks post surgery recovery in our country in order to avoid various complications despite patient feeling well enough.
