Buttock Implants
Buttock Implants
The buttock implant is a cosmetic surgical procedure that has a long history of success. When done properly, the implants look and even feel very natural. The procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Curves where he will work with you to learn about your goals. Once ready, he will schedule the procedure to give you the backside you desire.
The procedure itself involves two simple incisions, typically hidden along the crease where the buttock meets the upper leg. Through this incision, Dr. Curves will insert the implants. Depending on the approach taken, the doctor can either put the implants just beneath the skin, or under the muscle itself. Both options provide you with immediate improvement in the look and size of your butt. Recovery is also quite simple and quick with minimal downtime.
If you’re looking for a shapely rear end that delivers lasting results quickly, buttock implants may be the perfect option. This procedure allows for dramatic changes to the size and shape of your buttock with one simple surgery. You can have a butt you are proud of from Dr. Curves.

Buttock Implant Recovery
Different buttock augmentation procedures have different recovery instructions.
For a buttock augmentation with implants, you’ll need to wear a specific support garment for up to 3 weeks following the surgery. This gives support as well as allows the skin to drape properly following surgery.
For a buttock augmentation with fat grafting, you’ll have to avoid any prolonged sitting for two weeks or longer. This is very important! Sitting can damage the fat, and ruin the procedure. You’ll also have to sleep face down or on your side.
In addition, you’ll need to wear garments that provide support and compress the areas that were treated with liposuction. Often drains are placed in the incisions to help remove the excess fluids or blood. Dr. Jimerson will prescribe pain medications to keep you comfortable after the procedure. He will also discuss when you can resume normal activities and exercise.
While recovery periods will vary, most patients can resume exercise and regular activities in six to eight weeks.
Buttock Implant Results
If you had a buttock augmentation using fat transfer, please note that it might take up to a full year to see the final results. Also, your body will absorb some of the fat transferred, so the initial shape may change a bit.
Be sure to follow Dr. Jimerson’s instruction following your procedure to obtain optimal results.
