Believe it or not i have about a dozen patients active in the military that have undergone buttock implants successfully. To date none have had any significant issues or unable to perform their duties. Glad to help.

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, and thank you (in advance) for your dedication and service to our country!Your question regarding postoperative activity level is a great one, and one that we hear frequently.  Many of our patients who want a larger buttocks, and a more ideal waist-to-hip ratio, are very active people.  Most have been hitting the gym for years to try and get a fuller buttocks by building up their glutes, with jumps/squats/stairs/lunges and everything else that goes into a great buttock workout.  When results aren't achieved at the gym, the answer is often a surgical implant.  Following the procedure, many of these same patients are highly motivated to get back to the gym and continue their workouts.The simple answer is that you should be able to do everything were able to do beforehand.  The more complex answer is that this will likely take some time for you to meet those marks, and may ultimately not be able to get back to your peak performance.  Following surgery, you will want to limit your activity to allow for adequate healing.  Heck, even taking a couple months off from working out will impact performance (even if surgery isn't the reason you took the time off).  Additionally, placement of an implant intramuscularly will slow your recovery even more (the muscle gets ticked off, and you will likely be sore for a while, and not want to work out hard anyway).But, assuming no complications, you will recover, and should be able to do those activities.  However, you may not be able to do them as well as you would have if you didn't undergo the surgery (e.g. although you may be able to meet the minimum standard on physical assessment tests, you may have been able to run faster if you didn't have the implants).I would discuss the procedure and the recovery process with your plastic surgeon, and also with your recruiter. If you elect to have the surgery, make sure you have plenty of time to recover from the surgery before embarking on your journey.

Yes!  I have many patients that are in the military.  You must refrain from heavy physican activity for about 6 weeks post op.  After that you can train regularly.

Steven M. Gitt, MD, FACS (in memoriam) · Answer

Yes you can. I have placed gluteal implants in numerous men and women in the service. You will need about 6 weeks to completely recover from the surgery though, so plan on that. Good luck!
