Are butt implants safe and do they feel natural?

Dear formentera,   Butt implants, when done in expert surgeon hands can look natural and jiggle. The butt  softness depends on the thickness of the skin. On a very thin person, even though the implants are made from ultra soft silicone, the butt may feel a little tighter, like when you tighten your muscles.   You have to realize, that not all results are the same, because there are different techniques and different implants. I have been doing butt implants surgery for  18 years and performed the surgery on about 600 patients. In my opinion, the best looking butt with most anatomical (natural) appearance is achieved with the sub fascia technique and using oval round ultra soft silicone   implants (check my reviews on 'RealSelf').  Additionally, experience, skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good and safe outcome.   So, do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely, to avoid bad result and need for corrective surgery.   Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice 'S' curve, nice projection, round hips, single hidden incision between the cheeks and natural look.                          Best of luck,                                                Dr Widder

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.

Butt implants that reflect the dimension of the buttocks and other relevant anatomical features can feel and look natural.  Furthermore, choosing the "correct" implant size can also prevent or at least minimize a wide range of problems such as inadvertent displacement, poor healing or protracted recovery, and increased palpability. 

Placing the implants within or beneath the muscle can further ensure a more natural feel and look.

Nonetheless, your own tissue remains the best material to reshape and augment your buttocks.  Called as the Brazilian butt lift, we collect unwanted fats usually from the lower back, abdomen, and flanks, which are then transferred to the butt area. 

Of course, before re-injecting the fats we process them--i.e., remove all the impurities--to achieve a high survival rate, about 70 percent or higher.  The fats that remain after 3-6 months are expected to last a lifetime.
