Experience with the Submuscular Buttock Implant Technique

Implants are the definitive buttock augmentation option in patients with inadequate fat harvest sites or who have had inadequate BBL (fat injection) results. The placement of buttock implants can be done in three different pocket locations, above the muscle (subfascial), inside the muscle (intramuscular) and below the muscle. (submuscular) No buttock implant pocket location is Read More…

Evaluation of Gluteal Muscle Atrophy in Intramuscular Buttock Implants

The intramuscular pocket has become the preferred location for buttock implants. As opposed to the historic subfascial location, deeper intramuscular pockets provide better implant soft tissue coverage which lowers almost all of the known buttock implant complications, particularly fluid collections, inferior migration and implant show. But this is not a natural tissue plane like the Read More…

The Dual Plane Pocket for Buttock Implants

The major change in buttock implants over the past two decades is improvements in the implant’s durometer and better soft tissue coverage of the implants. Buttock implants used to be made of a more stiffer silicone durometer which gave them a hard and unnatural feel. That has been improved by softer more gel-like durometers which Read More…

Postoperative Fate Of The Intramuscular Space In Large Buttock Implants

Buttock implants have a role to play in buttock augmentation for those patients either are not good candidates for BBL surgery or have less than desired BBK results. Unlike injecting large amounts of fat in BBL, implant placement in the buttock tissues is far more restrictive. When patients request large buttock augmentation results using implants, Read More…
