Question

I'm 120 lbs what butt implant size will fit my frame AN will implants jiggle when walking an danceing just a little?

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal butt image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your buttock will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. Liposuction of your lower back and fat transfer is also helpful as an adjunct to implants. Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon.

Thank you for your question.  In order to suggest a buttock implant size, careful measurements of your buttocks will be necessary.  I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon who has experience with buttock implants.  My preferred method of implant placement is "inside" the muscle, which limits your ability to see/feel/flip the implant, so you probably won't get much jiggling.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

The size of buttock implants for you depends on what your buttock augmentation goals are. (i.e., how much bigger do you want to be) Intramuscular buttock implants will not jiggle. Buttock implants placed above the muscle will have some movement.

Thank you for your question about butt implant surgery. It is important for you to choose the appropriate implant size that will meet your specific goals, while taking into account your butt cheek diameter and gluteal muscle width. To avoid the jiggling that you're talking about it would be best to utilize the intramuscular approach which can avoid this issue. Good luck with your surgery!
