Buttock Implant Placement: Under the Muscle Vs. Intramuscular?

June 25, 2013
Asked By:Inquire30

Most of the doctors I have spoke with say the intramuscular technique where a pocket is dissected within the muscle is preferred to limit movement of the implant and provide good coverage. However, another doctor said he prefers placing the implant "under the muscle" to maximize coverage and because placement under the muscle is a "clean" plane in which to place the implant. What are the pros and cons of using one method over the other?
