Butt implants are placed in the buttocks to provide a greater augmentation and enhancement to the butt of a patient. The procedure is performed by surgically placing the butt implants in the buttocks. The implants, which are made of semi-sold medical grade silicone which is approved by the FDA, is inserted into an incision that is made in the crease of the buttocks. The implants can also be place in the area where the thighs meet the cheeks of the buttocks. The surgeon will create a pocket so the butt implants can be placed below or above the muscle in the targeted area. Butt implants are available in two different shapes depending on the final look of the results desired by the patient. The implants can be teardrop shaped so they are able to provide a greater amount of fullness to the mid-section of the buttocks. The butt implants can also be round in shape so they provide a fuller look to the top of middle section of the buttocks.
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that gives the butt a great contour and additional volume. The first step in a BBL is the use of anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure. The doctor will need to perform liposuction to remove excess fat from the body. The liposuction procedure starts with the creation of an incision so a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) can be inserted to loosen excess fat by moving the cannula in a back-and-forth motion. The fat that is dislodged by the cannula is then removed through a surgical vacuum attached to the cannula. The removed fat is then processed and cleansed so it can be injected into the buttocks of the person.
The final cost of having butt implants placed in the body depends on the type of butt implants used by the patient, the area of the country where the procedure is performed and additional fees charged by the doctor or the facility. In general, the cost of butt implant surgery:
After the butt implants are placed in the body of the patient, the person should not sit down or sleep on their back for at least two weeks after the surgery. Patients should be sure and walk after surgery in order to lessen the risk of blood clots developing. Around after a month has passed after the surgery, the butt implants can still have a firm and tight feeling. It can take around five to six weeks after surgery for patients to resume their regular activities.

Once the buttock implants are placed in the backside of a patient, the results should be immediately visible by the patient and others viewing the results. Once the butt implants are placed, it will take several months for the swelling and bruising to resolve and for the butt implants to settle into their final position. The final results of the placement of butt implants are long-lasting. The final results can even be permanent as long as the patient maintains a stable weight and continues to follow a healthy lifestyle. It should be noted that the final results can be impacted by the aging process and the effects of gravity so patients might need a follow-up procedure in the future.
