Gluteal (Buttocks) Augmentation (also known as Brazilian Butt Lift)
If you would like to improve the shape, size or general appearance of your bottom, Gluteal Implants may be a solution for you. This procedure is designed to improve the contour of your bottom and give it a rounder fuller look. Similar to breast augmentation, a well-hidden incision is made in the midline above the tailbone and silicone implants are placed under the gluteal muscle.
Unlike breast implants, we use solid silicone implants. These implants are specifically designed to withstand the pressure placed on your bottom with normal activity. Although they are soft, these solid implants are not like silicone gel filled breast implants and therefore do not have a problem with leakage. Once in place, the implants give your bottom a firm and natural feel – as if you had been working out for many years.
Answers to frequently asked questions:
- The implants are placed in an area that does not affect your sitting

- You can sit to go to the bathroom within one day
- You can sit for prolonged periods of time after about one week
- Solid silicone implants have been in use for years and have not been shown to cause problems in humans
- Possible complications include asymmetry, infection, and nerve injury
Although Gluteal Augmentation has been around for many years, it has only recently gained popularity in the United States. Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery is one of the few practices in Colorado that offer Gluteal Implants. If you are considering this procedure, it is likely that you have additional questions about how it is performed and possible side effects. We encourage you to set up a complimentary consultation with one of our physicians to see if this procedure is right for you.
