How much pressure can butt implants take before they leak?

Unlike breast implants, silicone gel buttock implants are not FDA approved and thus not legal for buttock implantation in the USA. I actually see about one patient a month that had gel implants done in another country and, although they looked a felt great at first, they are now seeking revision because the implants are either visible on top of the muscle and/or grossly deformed by scar contracture or a ruptured implant. The soft semi-solid silicone rubber implants used in the USA are much less likely to have these problems if placed correctly within the gluteus muscle AND are considered permanent implants because they cannot rupture and leak silicone gel. In 2015 I created and recently patented a new "Stanton Anatomic" shaped implant that avoids the unnatural effects of round implants, whether silicone gel or rubber . The benefit of this is the fact that ~90% of patients have more of an oval shaped buttock cheek not round, thus a true oval implant (i.e. Stanton Anatomic implant) creates a much more natural and harmonious buttock contour.  This is especially true when the patients bends over, does squats, or pokes their butt out while striking a pose or dancing. Many avid weightlifters, fitness competitors, and athletes from various sports have had these implants without problem of movement, visibility, or drooping.  Glad to be of help.

Thank you for your question.  The buttock implants used in the united states cannot leak as they are like gummy bears. You will never have to worry about your implants leaking an if don't correctly, can these implants can last you a lifetime.Please be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and has an extensive photo gallery as well as patient testimonials.

Unlike breast implants, all other body implants are soft solid silicone which can not rupture or undergo material degradation. Think of them as more like a rubber material.

Gluteal implants are solid silicone. They have no liquid or gel to leak. They are very tough and when placed within the gluteal muscle are protected. I would have no concerns or any sexual activity that would cause any issues.Eric Weiss MD
