Can an X-Ray Show if I Have Buttocks Implants or Injections?

Frankly, a physical exam by an experienced plastic surgeon should be all you need.  Best of luck...RAS

Hello, the buttock implants are made of solid silicone and should be able to be seen by XRAY or CT scan. Thanks

Traditional, full-body X-rays can detect breast, body and facial implants, due to, your question it’s will show the silicone on the x-ray examination. Thus, for the injection if you meant by fat there might not be shown on the x-ray.

Hope this help!

yes, the buttock implants will show up on an xray. Fat should not show up on an xray.  Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and high success rates with Buttock augmentation

Buttock implants would probably show up on an x-ray.  The implants are made of a silicone rubber which is probably only slightly more radio-opaque than fat.  On a side view, they would probably produce a distinctive shape.  From the front view, the outline would also probably be visible if you looked closely.

Silicone injections would be similar, and could probably be seen if you looked closely.  Fat injections would probably not be visible if the fat was injected into the fat of the buttock area, since the x-ray only shows the difference between radio-opacity of different substances.

However, implants or injections wouldn't be as visible as, say, a metal plate, and you might not see them if you casually looked at the x-ray.  I haven't actually seen an x-ray with buttock implants, but I have seen where I had to point out the breast implants on a chest x-ray for someone else to notice them.
