The method of inserting and positioning your implant will depend on your
preferences, anatomy and your surgeon's recommendation. Placed into each
buttock area through a single incision overlying the tailbone, buttock
implants are positioned to look as natural as possible for the optimal
cosmetic effect. a 2-3 inch incision is made between the buttocks in the
midline.
The buttock muscle (gluteus maximus) is lifted up and a pocket is
made just large enough for the implant. The implant is inserted into its
pocket. The opposite side is then completed. Both sides are carefully examined
in order to assure that the results look natural and symmetric. The incisions
are then close by using fine, dissolving sutures which will also be taped for
better support.
