Are buttock implants permanent? Can buttock implants last forever?

Buttock augmentation with implants is a type of plastic surgery that involves placing silicone implants inside the buttocks to achieve a buttock augmentation effect. Many people may be concerned about how long it can last in the body. Let's take a look at how long buttock augmentation with implants can last.

Are buttock implants permanent?

The surgical effect of buttock augmentation with prosthesis is not permanent, but with good maintenance after the operation, the effect can be maintained for up to 10 years. After the operation, the buttocks will feel naturally firm and elastic, just like the gluteal muscles that have been exercised for a long time. The operation uses minimally invasive technology, with small incisions, fast recovery time, and hidden incisions. Buttock augmentation with prosthesis makes a small incision in the gluteal groove, which is generally not detectable.

Can buttock augmentation implants last a lifetime?

It is generally not recommended to keep it for a lifetime. It is recommended to remove and replace it after about 10 years.

Since the surface of the implant is covered with muscle and subcutaneous fat, the postoperative effect will be relatively better, but it has a time limit. The duration of the buttock augmentation effect of implants is directly related to the implant material. In general, choosing regular, reliable and quality-guaranteed implant materials and strictly following the doctor's instructions for maintenance and care can make the surgical effect last longer.

At the same time, the effect of buttock augmentation with implants is also related to postoperative complications. If there are no complications after buttock augmentation with implants and the effect is satisfactory, the implant can be kept in the body for a long time without being removed. However, as time goes by, considering that the implant may deteriorate in quality and increase in leakage rate, general implant manufacturers recommend that implants that are more than 10 years old should be replaced.

When does the buttocks implant need to be removed?

1. Exposure of the prosthesis. This situation is mainly related to the doctor's operation, inappropriate separation cavity, or postoperative impact.

2. After the prosthesis becomes crooked in the body, if it is subjected to large external force, the crookedness is one of the common complications, which is mainly related to the body's own conditions. If the buttocks sag severely, or the doctor's technique is not in place during filling, similar situations may also occur.

3. The recovery effect after the operation is poor, and local redness, swelling and bruising will appear and cannot be eliminated for a long time. It is necessary to see a doctor in time and have the prosthesis removed.
