Butt Implants

We get called fairly frequently with the request for Butt Implants. For full disclosure, I don’t do butt implant operations. The reason is that the complication and re-operation rate are very high. In the Plastic Surgery literature, even in experienced hands, the re-operation rates for the surgery range from 13 to 25%. Risks include bleeding, infection, implant migration, chronic pain, numbness and extrusion. If someone is truly seeking a surgical option for a flat butt we recommend fat grafting, which has risks of its’ own. Otherwise, it’s lots of lunges and squats and step ups!
