How Long Do Butt Implants Last? When to Replace

The advantage of buttock implants over breast implants is that most patients don't ever need to worry about replacement - butt implants are made of more solid silicone (though some new ones still maintain a nice squishy feel like a firm but still natural buttock!), so there aren't the same issues as for breasts - Placed correctly and after healing, they should last a lifetime. Breast implants are designed differently so there are chances of rupture, which increases with time,... more

Although buttocks implants have been on the market for over 25 years, I am not aware of any study that addressed the issue of replacement rates. For some reason, buttock implants have never caught on, even though techniques had been perfected way before fat grafting to the buttocks was refined. Most surgeons who focus on buttocks reshaping are choosing fat grafting by a large margin. I do many butt lifts a year, and I haven't done a butt implant in over 2 years. It's just that when I sit... more
