Can you feel butt implants when you sit down?

Technically, the area that we sit on is a bit lower than where the mass of our buttock is.  We actually sit on the region where the upper thigh (hamstring) meets the lower buttock.  Like any implant placed into the face or body, initially your mind is very in tune to it but over time (3-6 months or so) your  mind acclimates to it and you rarely realize it is there.  Hope this helps...RAS 

Butt implants have become extremely popular over the past
few years. They have been used in two
groups of patients, one is in patients that don’t have enough fat for a Brazilian
Butt Lift or want more augmentation than is possible with a Brazilian Butt Lift
alone.

Butt implants just like any implant can be felt at
first. The implant does make the butt
slightly firmer, however most of my patients want to firm up their butt a
little.

My patients have said that the get used to the implants and
it just becomes part of them. After the
initial period of not sitting to allow the implants to heal they can sit and do
activities as they did before the surgery.

Hello, Butt implants are made from solid silicone. The provide firmness unlike a breast implant which is made to be softer and is a gel silicone. The implant usually can be felt to some extent. Depending on the plane it is placed and how much sift tissue coverage is over the implant. I place the implants within the gluteal muscle to maximize the soft tissue coverage over the implant. The implant can be placed over the muscle or in the muscle. Thanks.

When the buttock implants are properly placed within the muscle, you should not be able to feel them when you sit down. You should not be able to feel them at all. 

Butt implants are a great way to enhance the back side especially if you
don't have enough fat for fat transfer to the buttock a.k.a Brazilian buttock
lift. When performed properly, you should not feel your butt implant after the healing period. All of our butt implant are placed
under the muscle and looks really natural. The best way to know if you are a great candidate is to visit a Plastic Surgeon.

Yes, it is normal to feel your buttock implants when you sit, walk, or run.  Over time you will become used to the implants and will not even notice that they are there.  Apart from an augmented size, you will not be able to see the the edges of the implant or tell that they are there.  However, if you desire a more natural enhancement then you may want to consider fat graphting because you won't feel it when you sit down.

Most of my patients report that they can feel it, but it becomes a part of their body image  after they get used to them. In the beginning, they may feel strange and will be slightly visible in thin patients when implants are placed above the muscle.

Your brain will believe that it is a natural party of your body and accepts it. You do not actually sit directly on the implant, but a bit lower on an area called the ischial region of the upper thighs.

 

Dear anon,

   In order to avoid feeling of the implants you have to find a plastic surgeon who uses the right technique and the right implants. The right technique is to place the implants deep and high. I prefer to place the implant under the muscle fascia as oppose to, in the muscle because of patients comfort and less compication. I place it high enough above the crease because the skin is thinner at the lower buttock and the implant can be palpable. That also prevent feeling the implants when sitting because it is high and the sitting takes place mainly  on the Ischial bone.  The softness of the implants is crucial too. Soft silicone , makes the implant feel almost like the buttock tissue. In summary, consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who performed lots of buttock implants. Check the before and after results and if possible ask to talk or even meet with a patient who had the surgery.

          Best of luck,

It is very likely you will feel the implants.  Our office prefers to do Brazilian butt lift which is fat grafting using your own fat.   This is a natural approach to butt augmentation.   Please see attached video for more information. 

I agree with the surgeons who say you should not feel the implants. They should be placed in the muscle or at least under the muscle fascia. They should feel like firm muscle.

You do not sit on them, they are placed above where you sit.
