Buttock Implants

Buttocks Augmentation with Body Contouring Implants

If your derrière is too flat and boxy or has lost volume due to aging, Buttock Implants can be used to increase the size of the buttocks and better define their shape. These body contouring implants are made of soft, solid silicone and have a very smooth contour with a natural look and feel.

A shapely rear end not only has an attractive look, but can also put a bounce in your step and bolster your self-confidence. However, the buttocks are one part of the body that is not easily targeted by exercise, weight training or the most scrupulous of diets.

Many women and men who have some excess fat in the hips, thighs and abdomen opt for the Brazilian Butt Lift to create a plumper, more rounded rear. With Buttock Implants (also called Gluteal Implants), patients do not necessarily need a significant amount of fat to enhance the shape of their backside.

Permanent, Natural-Looking Way to Improve Contours

For patients whose butt is not well toned, not symmetrical or has lost volume as they have grown older, Buttock Implants are a permanent and natural-looking way to improve the contour of their fanny. This proven cosmetic surgery procedure uses FDA-approved body contouring implants made of cohesive silicone that are soft to the touch. Buttock Implants are available in different sizes, thicknesses and round or oval shapes to help you achieve your desired aesthetic result.
