28 Year Old Man Treated With Butt Implants Image By Dr Tiller, Pensacola, Florida
The buttocks region is not easily enlarged or shaped by weight training or diet. Individuals who wish to lift and shape the buttock can choose from a variety of different sizes and shapes of buttock implants. The decision for the shape and size of the implants depends on each person's individual desires and on his general body build. Buttock implants are very soft, solid silicone implants and are completely unlike breast implants. Generally, anyone in average physical condition and general good health is a candidate for buttock implant (gluteal augmentation) surgery. Procedure: Placed into each buttock area through a single incision overlying the tailbone, buttock implants are positioned to look as natural as possible for the optimal cosmetic effect. Since this area of the body is required for walking, sitting and so many other movements, patients might experience greater pain during the recovery period than other common cosmetic surgery procedures, and the recovery time is usually longer. Pain medications typically are prescribed to help with the discomfort. But after approximately 5 to 7 days, the patient is able to be up and about, moving, walking and sitting more comfortably. There is generally very little swelling and bruising after surgery so the results may be seen almost immediately. Usually full physical activities are permitted within a month of surgery. There are a few surgical risks, including infection, bleeding, nerve and/or muscle damage, slippage and asymmetry. (Nov 18, 2015)
