What are the most widely used butt implant brands?

Question

I've read that implants in the U.S are semi solid silicone and are either round or oval. I also read about a new implant that a surgeon in Hollywood invented- it apparently doesn't flip, and the shape is oval-round (?) Im curious to know which brands you like to use for intramuscular or sub muscular. Feel free to add a link. Thanks!

I prefer round implants as most of my patients prefer a rounder buttock. Oval implants can make the buttock look long. Implant flipping is not a problem in my practice, since the implants are inserted intramuscularly. The most common brands I use are Implantech, Spectrum Designs, Silimed (Sientra), and AART. They are all semisolid silicone implants. Spectrum Designs and AART have some texture while Implantech and Sientra are solid.

Deciding on the proper implant size and shape can be
difficult for patients just as it is when women are deciding on the proper
breast implant size.

First of all there is no one perfect implant for every
person.  The ideal implant depends on the
aesthetic goals that each person is trying to achieve from their
augmentation.  Typically I will take
measurements of the buttock and determine what implants will fit your
buttock.  There are a range of butt
implants and profiles (just like breast implants, though not as many).

The implants are a solid silicone implant that comes in
round and shaped styles.  The round
implants are the most common in the U.S. and in my practice.  The implants will help shape your butt and
hips to give it the projection and round figure that patient hope to achieve.
Butt Implants are typically larger then breast implants, as peoples butts are
typically larger than their breasts.  In
my practice the average butt implant range from 400 to 600cc.  Please keep in mind that you cannot compare
fat transfer and butt implants in terms of volume.  Butt implants will give you much more
projection and volume per cc than fat will do for your augmentation.

A couple things patients can do is one; have an open
discussion with your surgeon about your aesthetic goals.  Second is bringing in pictures that have the
look that you are trying to achieve, as this will help your surgeon.

Once I know what you are looking for in terms of appearance
and what you body can accommodate then we I will give you some implants to
choose from and help guide you as to what is best for your aesthetic
goals.

Discuss your butt augmentation procedure with a board
certified plastic surgeon that performs a high volume of butt
augmentations.

Although much more important than the implant brand is the surgeons skill and reputation. I prefer implants by Spectrum because of their quality, natural feel, and workability in the operating room.  Please read on for more implant selection details: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 an implant that not only significantly augments the buttock but also supplies the correct 3-dimensional enhancement to look as real as possible. Traditionally, teardrop oval implants have a 30+% risk of rotation and thus unnaturally change the buttock shape/appearance when doing so.  However i have recently created and patented a new "Stanton Anatomic" shaped implant that avoids this issue. The benefit of this is the fact that ~80% of women patients have more of an oval shaped buttock cheek than round, thus creating a much more natural and harmonious buttock contour.

Semi solid Implants are a thing of the past, its like having a brick in your buttocks and they almost never feel as natural as high cohesive silicone gel butt implants. I do know that they are not FDA approve yet, but mark my words, as soon as they get approved, no one will ever use the semi solid ones. And i'm not talking about breast implants, they are specifically designed for buttocks augmentation, and can resist the pressure of the strongest gluteal muscle. 10 years ago If you asked an American Plastic Surgeon which breast implant was the best, saline or silicone, the answer would always be saline, that was the only option they had at that time, Ask now and you will see that saline implants are almost never used any more.
