SLIM, SCULPT, AND LIFT AT SANCTUARY

While the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become a popular choice for those looking to enhance their buttocks, not everyone is an ideal candidate for fat transfer.

For individuals who don’t have enough fat to donate or who are seeking an alternative solution, butt implants provide a safe, effective option to achieve a fuller, more sculpted appearance. Dr. Charlie Riccio, a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, brings exceptional expertise and a creative approach to body contouring procedures. Contact us today to learn more!

WHAT ARE BUTT IMPLANTS?

Butt implants are medical-grade silicone devices that are surgically placed to add volume, shape, and contour to the buttocks. The implants are designed to look and feel natural, giving you a fuller, more contoured silhouette. Butt implants can be combined with fat grafting in a hybrid procedure to achieve the ultimate results for the patient and schedule a consultation for more details. 

Dr. Riccio customizes each butt implant procedure to fit the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring personalized results that enhance the body’s natural proportions.

BUTT IMPLANTS VS. BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT (BBL)

Both butt implants and the BBL are excellent options for enhancing the shape and size of your buttocks, but they work in very different ways. Here’s how:

  • The BBL uses your own fat, harvested through liposuction, to create a natural lift and add volume. This method is ideal for patients who have sufficient fat stores to transfer. However, for those with lower body fat, the BBL may not be an option, and that's where butt implants come in. 
  • Butt implants are ideal for patients who lack enough fat for a BBL or prefer a more consistent, long-lasting solution. Unlike fat grafting, implants provide a guaranteed increase in size, and the results are stable over time.

While many practices only offer the BBL, Sanctuary Plastic Surgery is proud to offer both options, allowing patients to choose the best procedure. This sets us apart from other clinics in South Florida, as we provide comprehensive solutions for patients seeking to enhance their buttocks.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BUTT IMPLANTS?

  • Consistent, Long-Lasting Results: Unlike fat grafting, implants provide a stable and predictable outcome, with long-lasting results that don’t fluctuate with weight changes.
  • Immediate Volume Enhancement: Butt implants deliver an immediate increase in size and shape, ideal for those seeking a dramatic transformation.
  • Customizable Shape and Size: Butt implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for a wholly customized augmentation that fits your body and aesthetic goals.
  • Minimal Scarring: The procedure requires small, discreet incisions, resulting in minimal visible scarring.
  • Durable and Safe: Modern silicone implants are designed for durability and are made of safe, medical-grade materials.
  • Defined Contours: Implants can help create more defined and symmetrical buttocks, enhancing your body’s natural proportions.

THE BUTT IMPLANT PROCEDURE

During the butt implant procedure, silicone implants are placed through small incisions made in discreet areas to minimize visible scarring. The implants are positioned either above or within the gluteal muscles, depending on your anatomy and desired results.

The entire procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours, and most patients can return to normal activities within 2 weeks. Dr. Riccio will guide you through every step of the process, from your initial consultation to post-surgical care, ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal results.

RECOVERY AFTER BUTT IMPLANTS

Recovery after butt implants typically takes 2 to 3 weeks, with most patients able to return to work within that time. You will be advised to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks to ensure optimal healing and results. Additionally, wearing a compression garment during recovery will help manage swelling and support the newly shaped contours.
