In short, silicone gel buttock implants are not FDA approved and thus not legal for buttock implantation in the USA. I actually see about one patient a month that had gel implants done in another country and, although they looked a felt great at first, they are now seeking revision because the implants are either visible on top of the muscle and/or grossly deformed by scar contracture or a ruptured implant. The soft semi-solid silicone rubber implants used in the USA are much less likely to have these problems if placed correctly under the gluteus muscle AND are considered permanent implants because they cannot rupture and leak silicone gel. 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 buttock in this case. Glad to help
No, eurosilicone is not safe for buttock implantation. The only silicone that is safe to place is the buttocks is enblock as an implant. Small aliquots of silicone when injected will create sever scarring, infection, and silicone extrusion.
I would have a very low threshold for a butt infection as allergies to silicone are extremely rare. I have not seen one in over 19 years of experience. Please follow up with your surgeon so that he can order some tests.
Then most natural buttock implants are those that are placed in an intramuscular position. Such buttock implant placement does not allow large implants to be used but they will look the most natural for sure.
One of the most important factors in creating the perfect derriere with implants is indeed selecting the right size AND shape. I have found the best way to assure this is to simply measure the actual dimensions of the patient’s buttock cheeks. With these anatomical measurements, I can select a...
