Although they may exist in other countries, I am currently not aware of any water-based buttock implants available. If they do exist I would be very concerned about the potential for rupture and leaking leading to complete deflation/flattening. The soft semi-solid silicone rubber implants FDA approved and used in the USA are much less likely to have these problems even when if placed correctly under the gluteus muscle AND are considered permanent implants because they cannot rupture and leak silicone gel.Glad to be of help.
You are referring to the use of low profile saline breast implants which have been used for buttock augmentation.
With Brazilian butt lifts, we only offer silicone butt implants, fat grafting (from the abdomen/ inner thighs most commonly), or both. Saline butt implants are not offered because of the high risk of rupturing.
Long term complication of implants in the fascia is that it will move/migrate and you will need a revision down the road. The definitive operation is in the muscle due to its stability. I have butt implants below the muscle from 10-15 yrs that haven't moved, and still kept its shaped.
A Brazilian butt lift can be via 1) butt implants-silicone 2) fat grafting (from your abdomen/ flanks/ thighs/ elsewhere) 3) both. As far as max size, you need more fat on your body to graft it to your butt. If you want silicone, you could use a bigger size if your skin elasticity allows it. ...
Butt implant edge should not be palpable when the implants is placed inside the muscle completely; it is likely that your implant has broken through your muscle; a revision surgery can utilize the capsule you have formed to repair any rents/breaks in your implant pocket.
