Silicone Butt Implants

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants have been available for more than 60 years. Modern silicone implants used for Body Contouring enhancement are soft, flexible and durable - safe and reliable. Silicone has come under fire since the early 1990's because of the silicone gel used in breast implants which was alleged to have caused autoimmune disease in some women. Highly controlled studies since that period have proven that silicone does not cause disease of any kind. Body Contouring Implants are made of solid silicone - soft but still solid without the controversial characteristics of silicone gel. Solid silicone has never been alleged to cause any disease in the human body.

Plastic Surgery Implants are made of the same silicone that surrounds many cardiac pacemakers. Most joint replacement parts are made with either solid silicone or coated with silicone to reduce the body reaction to the replacement part. No problems have ever been attributed to the silicone of these implants which is identical to the silicone of Plastic Surgery Implants.

Research has produced the current implants for body augmentation which are now soft and pliable and approach the same consistency as the tissue into which the implants are placed.

Silicone is available in many forms ranging from a liquid similar to water on through firmer consistencies that may be as firm as bone. Because of this ability to form a range of densities, and silicone's minimal tissue reaction, silicone implants are able to be used as static replacements for tissue deficiencies in many areas of the body. Almost everyone is familiar with breast implants used to augment women's breasts. These implants (which were the first silicone implants available for commercial use) were developed to mimic the consistency of fat in the female breast and were first made with silicone gel. Body contouring implants are solid silicone implants that have gradually been developed to the consistency of muscle tissue for which most of the implants are designed to augment.

Gluteal Implants Information

Buttock Implants (Gluteoplasty)

Many men and women are dissatisfied with the size, shape and contour of their buttocks. Underprojected, flat and/or sagging buttocks do not fit their ideal self-image. Body-image is an important part of feeling good, desirable and confident. For many, this surgical procedure can dramatically affect the quest for a beautiful body.

Cosmetic surgery, specifically the use of Gluteal Implants, is an option which patients are using to add size and shape to their physique when the traditional methods of weightlifting, exercise and diet do not or cannot produce the desired results. People are turning to the use of specially designed implants to achieve shape and definition when genetics or other conditions prevent them from attaining the physical appearance they desire. The information provided here will supply you with the knowledge and resources available - information you should know before making your decision regarding these procedures, alternatives to using implants, help in locating a physician, and other resources you may need.

Gluteal Implants Information

Gluteal or buttock implants are used to fill out the buttock area, specifically to augment the gluteus maximus muscle area producing a more desirable shape to the glutes. The shape of the buttocks is determined by the fullness of the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius and minimus muscles plus the angle of the lumbosacral curve at the base of the spine. Deficiency in muscle mass or in the angle of the curve of the lower spine can contribute to lack of adequate projection of the butt. Additionally, the buttocks are an area that retains some body fat which contributes to the prominence of the buttock cheeks. Frequently in their zeal for minimal body fat, many physically active people will loose the fat of the gluteal areas and find that the projection of the buttocks decreases due to this. It's a catch 22 situation.

Buttock implants, also known as gluteal augmentation, gluteal implants or gluteoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to add fullness and projection to the underprojected or flat buttock area. This procedure involves inserting a soft, high grade, solid silicone, implant into the muscular space of the buttock area. To the touch, it has the feeling and consistency of a flexed muscle. Unlike breast augmentation, after this procedure is properly completed and healed, there is no reason to require additional surgery. These implants can be round or oval and come in a variety of sizes. A consultation and physical exam is needed to determine the appropriate size and shape for individuals.
