What Are Gluteal Implants?

Gluteal implants are solid, flexible silicone implants surgically placed to enhance the size, projection, and contour of the buttocks. Unlike a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which uses your own fat, gluteal implants are ideal for patients who don’t have enough donor fat or who desire a more dramatic, defined result.

During the procedure, implants are carefully placed under the gluteal muscle, ensuring a firm yet natural appearance and minimizing visibility or movement of the implant over time.

Why Choose Gluteal Implants in Las Vegas?

This procedure is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have naturally flat or underdeveloped buttocks
  • Want more volume than fat transfer alone can offer
  • Are too lean for BBL due to low body fat
  • Have experienced volume loss due to aging or weight fluctuations
  • Desire better balance between the waist, hips, and lower body

For patients in Las Vegas seeking lasting shape and proportion, gluteal implants offer a reliable and customizable solution.

Your Gluteal Implant Options

Just like breast implants, gluteal implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different body types and goals. Options include:

  • Size: Custom-selected based on your frame and desired fullness
  • Shape: Round or oval implants to control projection and curvature
  • Material: Solid silicone designed to feel firm but natural under muscle
  • Surface: Smooth or textured surfaces depending on tissue compatibility

Incision Placement Options:

  • Upper buttocks
  • In the gluteal crease
  • Midline sacral incision (well-hidden in the natural fold)

Dr. Kahng will guide you through each decision during your consultation, creating a personalized plan that reflects your goals and anatomy.

The Gluteal Implant Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia at our AAAASF-accredited Las Vegas facility, the surgery typically includes:

  1. Discreet incisions based on your selected placement
  2. Creation of a secure pocket under the gluteus maximus muscle
  3. Precise insertion of the chosen implant
  4. Closure with sutures and application of a compression garment

This approach allows for optimal implant support, reduced visibility, and natural-looking contours that enhance the entire lower body.

Recovery After Gluteal Implant Surgery

Most patients need 2–3 weeks of downtime to support healing and implant integration. Here's what to expect:

  • Compression garments are worn to reduce swelling and aid contouring
  • Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for the first 2–3 weeks
  • Light walking is encouraged to support circulation
  • Swelling gradually subsides over several weeks
  • Final results are typically visible around 10–12 weeks post-op

Dr. Kahng will provide detailed recovery instructions and schedule follow-ups to monitor your progress.
