I am an athlete and I am considering small butt implants. How exactly will they effect my athletic performance?

Question

I already had a BBL which I am very happy with, but still I would like more projection in my butt. Also when I train for competitions, I get really lean and I think I’ll lose my butt. I would like to augment them with maybe around 250cc implants (as well as another fat transfer). My top priority over my butt however is my athletic performance. I compete at a high level in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and glute and hip strength are extremely important. How could this impact my performance?

I can tell you that I have often performed buttock implants on athletes, even some that compete at a high-level  (i.e. professionally) such as bodybuilding and powerlifting, wrestling, horseback riding, skiing, cycling, dancers, etc and they have all been able to resume their sport after full recovery.  This is not to say that the surgery is not without potential risks and complications. You may be that unlucky one that suffers from a complication that prevents you from performing at your current high level.  Glad to help.

While almost all of the patients in my practice who receive butt implants are athletic, there is always a potential that the implants can cause a decrease in strength.
