Breast Implant vs. Butt Implant

Some women wish to enhance the size of their breasts, others wish to enhance the size of their rear end, and others want both. Buttock augmentation, also known as butt implant or gluteoplasty is a type of enhancement procedure very similar to breast implants. It involves the surgical insertion of artificial implants into the buttocks in order to enhance their size and shape. The incision is usually made in the buttock crease, where scars are not noticeable; although this area does carry a high infection risk. The doctor then creates a pocket large enough to insert the implant. Like breast implants, butt implants can be placed under or on the top of the muscle—submuscular and subglandular breast incision respectively; although, most times surgeons have opted to place implants above the sitting area in order to keep patients from sitting on them and thus reducing the risk of implants shifting and asymmetry.

For any patient horrified with the thought of putting and unknown substance into the body such as myself, Buttock augmentation is just as terrible as breast augmentation. Buttock augmentations, however, do give another option besides placing silicone implants, and that is the Brazilian butt lift. In earlier blogs I talked about ‘on-course’ approaches for breast implants such as the micrografting of stem cells; well, somehow, scientists did discovered a way to use a person’s own fat to enhance rear ends. In using the grafting technique, the patient not only is able to use their own fat cells from their own body, but they in turn are able to have a modified liposuction for in order to perform this surgery, fat from areas of the body such as the back, abdomen, hips, and thighs must be removed through liposuction. Minor complications are associated with this type of butt augmentation; therefore, the major factor one must worry about would be financing because this procedure can range from $6000 to $15,000.

I’m seriously not sure whether or not this is real image, but apparently this woman in the picture below has implanted the biggest implant size in the world of 1200cc. The volume of a breast implant is measured in cc where thirty cc equals 1oz, and the typical sizes are between 275cc and 800cc. Many women are nowadays are not only unaware of the risks associated with the procedure of breast implants, but also with disadvantages of large size implants. They seem to forget that large breasts can not only limit their freedom of movement and lead to back pain and headaches, but they can also increase chances of exposing them to all the risks related to breast implants.
