How long do butt implants last?

Question

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

The soft semi-solid silicone rubber implants used in the USA are considered permanent implants because they cannot rupture and leak silicone gel, like breast implants. I personally prefer Spectrum Design implants. Similar to breast implants, as long as the appropriate implant size/shape is selected and the implant is placed in the correct anatomic plane, the end result should  look and feel natural - like a fit athletic sprinters buttock in this case. Glad to help

Unlike breast implants, which are fluid-filled devices, buttock implants are composed of solid silicone. As a result these are implants that will never fail or need to be replaced because of material breakdown.

The buttocks implants are true gummy bear style implants; even if you split them in half, they are solid and can't go anywhere; In theory they should last forever; the first ones I placed have been in place for over 10 years. We have had no incidence of infection requiring implant removal. A consultation is required to provide you advice on implant brand, style, etc. Please see link below for more discussion.
