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.

Pat Pazmino, MD, FACS · Answer

Butt implants can be performed successfully for butt augmentation in certain patients. If you have stretch marks, the Butt implants should stretch out the skin and make stretch marks less noticeable. It is unlikely that the butt implants will make the stretch marks worse. However, this is not a simple surgery and patients can develop significant problems if not done correctly. Your best bet is to work with a plastic surgeon who is board certified and has great deal of experience with butt augmentation and using implants.

Butt implants or any procedure that fills your skin will likely make your stretch marks a little better. Usually, stretch marks look much more obvious when your skin is loose. When it is tightened or "filled" they usually look better. Butt implants, just like breast implants usually do not cause stretch marks.

Samir Shureih, MD · Answer

Usually Butt implants do not cause stretch marks. By stretching the skin of the butt with implants, the stretch marks may become slightly less noticable.
But like breast implants, every once in awhile the stretch marks may get worse
