Male Buttocks (Gluteal) Implants
What Are Male Gluteal Implants?
In recent years, gluteal buttock implants have exploded in popularity for men across the country. This cosmetic procedure helps male patients contour and reshape their buttocks, offering a fuller and more proportional physical profile. Gluteal implants are often of particular appeal to bodybuilders, who may struggle to naturally develop the muscles of the buttocks in proportion to the rest of their body. Nevertheless, a more youthful, muscular appearance can be provided to male patients of all backgrounds and body types. When a proper physical and dietary regimen has been followed, and the gluteal remains disproportionately small, an implant procedure gives men fuller, healthier-looking glutes throughout the country.
How Are Gluteal Implants Performed on Men?
Like many other cosmetic augmentation procedures, gluteal enhancement is achieved through silicone implants. Silicone implants have proven highly effective at adding mass and definition to men’s gluteal area. Gluteal implants are inserted into the buttocks area via small incisions. Dr. Steinbrech places the implants so they are naturally locked into place by the muscles and tissue surrounding them, preventing silicone shifting. While the procedure is more invasive than nonsurgical fat injections and naturally requires more recovery time, silicone gluteal implants are a safe and effective way to improve the mass and definition of male glutes.
Preparation For Gluteal Implants
Patients will consult Dr. Steinbrech to discuss expectations and concerns when opting for implants. Preoperative instructions will be provided at this meeting, though they generally include the cessation of smoking and the avoidance of certain medications. Patients should also arrange transportation home after the operation is completed and not drive themselves because of the lingering effects of anesthesia.
Who Is a Good Candidate For Gluteal Implants?
Implants are an excellent option for men who have failed to achieve their glutes’ desired mass, definition, and proportionality. Dr. Steinbrech individualizes each procedure to meet the specific needs of individual patients.
Male bodybuilders are excellent candidates for this procedure. Many men struggle to develop the backside and find that gluteal implants establish an equilibrium between the upper and lower torso. Many non-bodybuilders opt for this procedure as well and for similar reasons. For any man in Chicago, gluteal implants will provide a healthier, more youthful appearance for your body where natural exercise has failed.
Gluteal Implants Are a Good Option If You:
- Lack of volume or definition in your buttocks
- Failed to achieve your ideal look through diet and exercise
- Desire better proportions for your body
What Can I Expect From My Gluteal Implant Recovery?
With silicone gluteal implants, the recovery period tends to include mild swelling and discomfort. These are most prominent in the days immediately following surgery and can be alleviated with medication and bandaging. Follow-up appointments are held to assist patients in the recovery process. Most physical activity can be resumed within one month.
