How Often Do You Need to Keep Getting Butt Implants?

Question

I want to get a butt injection or butt implants. Do you have to get them every few months or is it just a one time deal and you have a butt forever?

Johnny Franco, MD, FACS · Answer

This
is a great question as many of patients are very young and they wonder when
they will have to change out their implants. 
Well the good news is that there is currently no recommendation to
change out your butt implants.  As long
as you love them you just keep.

The
butt implants are a semi-solid silicone material.  This make them very durable so that they can
absorb the punishment that are butt takes on a daily basis from sitting and the
occasional falls.  Because the implant is
a semi-solid material the implant does not leak. The implants are extremely
durable.

The
butt implants have become a great option for patients that are too thin for a
Brazilian Butt Lift or want more augmentation than is possible with fat
transfer alone.  The durability of the
implants typically gives patients a result that will last for years to come.

Unlike breast implants, buttock implants are made to be permanent because they are made of semi-solid soft silicone rubber not silicone gel.

	On the other hand, it is not recommended to inject anything into the buttock for augmentation unless is it is your own fat.  Autologous fat transfer does work but most patients do not have enough fat for this procedure because about 60+% melts away after the first year.  Best of luck...RAS

Buttock implants come in many shapes and sizes. Generally once you place them the implants last a long time. However, your body does not. This means that changes in your body shape and constittion may require a change, repositioning, or even removal of the implants. Occasionally implants may fail for a variety of reasons and need removal or replacement.
In regards to injections, I assume you mean fat and this may take more than one initial setting to acheive the degree of correction you seek. However, once you achieve this, the result is generally long lasting. In fact, weight gain may result in enlargement of the fat graft. Althernatively, weight loss may result in decrease in size of the grafts as well

If done  correctly, your buttock implants should not need to be changed.  Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and has high success rate with this procedure.  If you choose your surgeon wisely you will have a wonderful, long lasting result.

Jeffrey Weinzweig, MD, FACS · Answer

Butt implants generally last a long time. Occasionally they may need to be repositioned or replaced due to a number of reasons such as malposition or rupture. Butt injections are done using your own fat. The results from this procedure are long lasting; however, only 60-70% of injected fat will actually remain long term.
