Thank you for your question.Regarding any implant, you can only put in an implant that your body will accommodate. I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon with experience with buttock shaping with implants. A word of caution- placing an implant that is too big for your body, and placing it on top of the muscle, may cause long-term problems like butt sagging, your ability to see and feel the implant, and the implant moving and flipping. My personal preference is to place the implant inside the muscle because I believe it reduces the risks of these things occurring.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL
Thank you for your question and picture. In order to choose the best implant to achieve your goal, you will want to take into account the butt cheek diameter and gluteal muscle width. It would also be a good idea to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area so that you can address any questions or concerns that you have. In terms of recovery time, I recommend that my patients take two weeks without sitting directly on the implants, and by 4 weeks they can do any activity that they want and resume their normal routine.
