When women have their breasts augmented, they often don’t even think about the overall look and balance of their body—from front to back. They may have the curves of the breasts and legs, but then suddenly realize they do not feel well balanced. There’s good news: a flat or undeveloped behind can be enhanced, creating the look of a much fuller, rounded bottom with butt implants.

The number of buttock augmentation surgeries has increased to 158% in the past three years—women want to match their bigger, boosted breasts with a just as beautiful backside, says the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Butt implant surgery is not for those who are sensitive to pain, or inclined to faint at the sight of blood. Let’s put it this way: your buttocks are one of the most utilized parts of your body, and due to that, any surgery in that area will cause a greater amount of pain and discomfort. It’s been said that your bottom is the largest muscle components of the body. And, quite frankly, it is possibly the most painful part of the body to have surgery on.

What Really Happens When You Have Butt Implant Surgery?

The implant in butt implant surgery is round—similar to a teardrop, and it is shaped like an egg, or oval. The only possible complication has to do with the incision because the implants are put systematically between the muscle’s layers. Typically with a silicon implant, the incision has the potential to open and may have to be re-sutured. In most instances this does not happen, but when it does, the patient will have to spend an extra two weeks sleeping on their stomach. The worst case is when the suture opens wide enough to where the implant is revealed, which is very painful and could cause a serious infection. If this kind of complication occurs, the implant needs be removed and remain out for a minimum of three months. Only after that amount of time can it be re-inserted.

Another technique has revolutionized the butt implant surgery arena: the use of fat grafting. Compared to implants, it is known to be safer plus it requires less downtime and surgery time. With the grafting technique, the patient is able to use their own body’s fat cells, but in turn they are also capable of having a modified liposuction. Fat is typically grafted from the hips or stomach, and gets inserted in the body through two minor incisions, layering carefully within tunnels in the butt. By using your own body’s fat cells, the body absorbs a significant amount of the fat in many cases, and a second series of incisions may need to be made to get the desired look.
