Butt implants: would your partner be able to feel them?

Question

Johnny Franco, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

I have asked my patients if their partners can feel them or
if they get in the way during intercourse. 
My patients have said that they partner can typically feel that the butt
is a little firmer but that they have not had any complaints.  They also have said that it has not kept them
doing anything they want in that regard. 
They have said that the hardest part is trying to keep their partners
hands off them during the first initially healing time.

I hope this helps! 
Please consult your board certified plastic surgeon about your butt
implant surgery.

Implants are made to look and feel natural. If you have little tissue, you may be able to feel or see them. In this case, you may want to consider a Brazilian Butt Lift instead, a technique that takes your own fat from an area like your thighs or abdomen and transfers it to your buttocks. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in butt implants and/or Brazilian Butt Lifts for the better outcome.

This depends on the durometer (hardness of the silicone) as well as the placement (subcutaneous, subfascial, intramusclular, submuscular) as well as the shape and size and the amount of soft tissue coverage.

If done correctly, your buttock implants should not be palpable.  To ensure the success of your procedure, Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and high success rates with buttock implants.

Daniel P. Markmann, MD · Answer

I have placed Butt Implants subfascially, as well as intra and sub muscular. I haven't had a single patient that I couldn't feel the implant.
	I also agree that the best and most natural option is fat transfer to the buttocks, The Brazilian Butt Lift. I have never had a single one that looks or feels unnatural.
