What Are Buttock Implants?
A gluteal implant is more than a simple prosthesis. Specifically designed for the buttock area, it is made from cohesive silicone gel that is well suited to the pressure of sitting. Several specialised manufacturers offer a range of implants, providing options tailored to individual needs.
During your consultation, the surgeon will assess the natural shape of your buttocks and discuss your expectations in order to determine the most appropriate implant.
What Are the Most Common Indications?
- Correction of flat buttocks: some people naturally have smaller or flat buttocks. Butt implants can give them a more rounded, shapely shape.
- Recovery after weight loss: after significant weight loss, the buttock area can lose volume and firmness. Buttock prostheses help restore this area for a harmonious silhouette.
- Rebalancing the silhouette: butt implants can also be used to balance the silhouette, in harmony with other parts of the body, for a more proportionate overall look.

Are the Results Long-Lasting?
Buttock implants offer long-lasting results. Although implants are designed to last for many years, it is important to carry out regular checks to ensure their integrity.
Are There Any Risks Associated with This Procedure?
As with any surgical procedure, buttock augmentation with implants involves risks associated with the procedure, such as infections, imperfect results or changes in sensation in the operated area, as well as risks inherent in anaesthesia.
How Do You Choose the Size and Shape of Your Implants?
During the pre-operative consultation, the surgeon will assess your morphology and discuss your expectations with you, in order to recommend the most suitable implant size and shape.
Will the Scars Be Visible?
Incisions for implant insertion are usually made in the fold between the buttocks, making them discreet. With time and proper care, scars fade and become less visible.
Can Buttock Augmentation Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes, it is common to combine buttock augmentation with other procedures, such as liposuction of the hips, to achieve a harmonious silhouette and accentuate the shape of the buttocks.
How Much Do Buttock Implants Cost?
The cost of buttock augmentation with implants can vary considerably depending on a number of factors, such as geographical region, surgeon expertise and implant quality. It’s important to ask for a precise estimate that includes all ancillary costs, such as anesthesia and pre- and post-operative consultations.

Results
By the end of the procedure, a noticeable difference is visible in the volume and shape of the buttocks. However, the immediate result is not the final result. The buttocks may appear more swollen due to post-operative edema, and bruising may also be present.
Although the incisions are discreet, it is essential to follow the post-operative recommendations to ensure optimal healing. Over time, scars fade and become less and less visible. You will need to wait 2 to 3 months for definitive results, while the operated area regains its suppleness and the implants stabilize.
Butt implants are designed to last for many years. Unlike other augmentation methods, such as fat injections, they are non-absorbable and retain their shape and volume over time.
