IM injections after butt implants?

Question

If an urgent care doctor needed to give me an intramuscular injection in the gluteal muscle to make me feel better when I’m sick, would that even be possible after intermuscular butt implants? Thank you!

The safe reliable alternative to IM buttock injections following buttock implants is to put the injection into the upper outter thigh muscle or the shoulder muscle. Glad to help.

Dear MsNewBooty,   It depends on the size of the implants and the implants' location in relation to the gluteal muscle. You can palpate the injection area and feel for the muscle, by tightening it. If the muscle is palpable, than your doctor can inject there, otherwise, he or she will have to do it in the thigh, or abdomen, or the upper arm.   This is really a non issue and should not deter you from having the butt implants  surgery, which is a great investment in yourself. It will increase your confidence, your self esteem, your sense of femininity and will make shopping fun.   You have to realize that not all results are the same, because there are different implants and different techniques. Also, experience, technical skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome.   Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice 'S' curve, nice projection, single low incision between the cheeks, round hips and natural look.                      Best of luck,                                  Dr Widder

You can receive IM injections after gluteal implants as long as the implants are within the fibers of the gluteal muscle. The needle should be position in the muscle avoiding the implant.Eric Weiss MD

You could have the IM injections placed into your thighs? I would have concerns about placing an IM injection into the gluteal region with implants unless it was under USS guidance.
