Buttock Implants
Buttock implants or Glutealplasty provides patients an opportunity to gain a more pleasing contour and fullness in their buttocks. Although Buttocks can also be augmented through fat grafting, implants offer a solution which is often more full-bodied and enduring for the patient over time. Due to the bodies ability to absorb injected fat, implants provides the patient with a more consistent and reliable result in comparison with fat augmentation. The procedure involves the surgical placement of cohesive silicone gel implants thru various incision locations in the buttock region.
