Want to even size and shape - Buttock augmentation size recommendation? (photos)

Thank you for your inquiry! I recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself and we can create a surgical plan to best achieve your goals!

 Make no mistake, it is indisputable that the best position (aka “placement”) for buttock implants is in the total intramuscular tissue plane, not half and half within and on top of the muscle (aka “biplanar” or “dual plane”), not completely on top of the muscle and not “sub-fascial" which is exactly the same as on top of the muscle - so please do not be fooled by this terminology.
Other than placing buttock implants within the gluteus maximus and medius muscles (aka “intramuscular”) NOT on top of the muscle, “subfascial” or “dual plane”, the most important factors in creating the perfect derriere and/or hourglass figure with implants is indeed selecting the right size AND shape. I have found the best way to assure this is to simply measure the actual dimensions of the patient’s gluteus muscles (not butt cheek fat pad, which may appear “round”) and quantity and quality/density of these muscles. With these anatomical measurements, I can select an implant that not only significantly augments the buttock but also supplies the correct 3-dimensional enhancement to look as real as possible...with positional changes (eg. bending over and squatting down) and even in the most petite patients that have small/lean muscles and minimal overlying fat. The fact is, over 95% of the human population has a more oval shaped gluteus muscles not round. Therefore an oval shaped implant such as the Stanton Anatomic™️ buttock implant conforms best and produces a more realistic contoured outcome better than round implants. Contrary to what many think, a round implant placed correctly within the muscle actually sits up at the top of the butt cheek, creating an unnatural pointy or “gum-drop effect”, not at the lower part of the butt cheek and thus does not contribute to filling or rounding out of any of the lower buttock pole. Height and weight are considered but not nearly as relevant as the above measurements. Final note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon. Glad to help.

Dear Enthusiastic222177,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
