Buttocks Enhancement

Buttock augmentation risks are dependent on the technique of augmentation chosen for the patient desiring buttock enhancement. Patients who possess minimal fat or those who desire accentuation of their buttock projection are recommended buttock augmentation using a buttock implant. The number one buttock augmentation risk using buttock implants is implant extrusion.

This is because the buttock is under a lot of physical compressions and shear force. When implants are chosen that are too large to fit completely within the gluteus major muscle, then extrusion becomes more common. This is, in fact, a very common problem with reports of one in five buttock implant extrusions occurring throughout the nation.
