Male Gluteal Augmentation Procedure and Buttock Implants
A male gluteal augmentation procedure involves reshaping the buttocks. A buttock implant allows for fuller buttocks, offering a more balanced profile by compensating for a deficit of fat deposits. Buttock augmentation can be achieved with injections of the patient’s body fat or with silicone implants.
Bodybuilders commonly choose gluteal augmentation as they cannot naturally develop gluteal muscles proportionate to the rest of their body.
Cosmetic surgery, specifically the use of Gluteal implants, is an option that patients are using to add size and shape to their physique when the traditional methods of weightlifting, exercise, and diet do not or cannot produce the desired results. People are turning to the use of specially designed implants to achieve shape and definition when genetics or other conditions prevent them from attaining the physical appearance they desire. Listed as Forbes’ go-to surgeon for men, Dr. Steinbrech specializes in gluteal augmentation for men.

Fat Transfer Gluteal Augmentation for Men
Fat injections are a common way to achieve more volume for more efficient filler and natural-looking results.
Fat transfers such as Bodybanking require needle injections into the area, requiring a volume enhancement. This procedure is a two-part process: first, a zone is liposuctioned to collect the fat. Second, it is then transferred as an injection to the desired region. Fat transfer involves harvesting the fat from one body area to be washed and purified before being injected into the coveted location. Using one’s body fat for gluteal enhancement is secure, durable, and offers natural-looking results.
Gluteal Implants for Men
Buttock implants are unique in size and shape and custom-chosen by a specially trained member in a clinic for your desired result. Silicone implants provide the proper natural consequence and feel. The silicone implant is placed in the ideal position for the patient’s satisfaction, providing a fuller gluteal region that is stable unless removed. The surgical gluteal implant procedure requires general anesthesia, and the time of surgery is two hours. All incisions are made in the best possible areas of the buttocks for marks unseen. In some cases, male patients may elect to get both fat transfer and a gluteal implant.
How Are Gluteal Implants Performed on Men?
Silicone implants are generally more effective at adding mass to the gluteal area than body fat injections. The procedure is, however, more invasive than nonsurgical fat injections and naturally requires more recovery time. Less invasive fat injections allow male patients to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, allowing for more particular reshaping of the backside. Still, they tend to be less effective at adding mass. In your preoperative consultation, Dr. Steinbrech will decide which method suits you. Nevertheless, when carried out by a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Steinbrech, either method is safe and effective.
Who Is a Candidate for Gluteal Augmentation?
The size and shape of the implants are solely chosen based on the individual’s desires. Buttock implants are very soft, SOLID SILICONE implants, entirely unlike breast implants, which are smooth, FLUID-FILLED sacks.
If you are in average physical condition and good health, you are a candidate for buttock implant (augmentation) surgery. Men of all shapes and sizes consider gluteal implants for self-confidence within themselves.
Gluteal Enhancement Procedure
Buttock implant surgery is an outpatient procedure that takes about an hour to perform. If liposuction is being done, then it may take an additional half-hour. It would be best if you were placed face down for the operation. A 5 to 6 cm (about ¼ inch) vertical incision was made in the well-hidden buttock center crease, the sacrum. The dissection continues on either side of the sacrum until the buttock muscle has reached. The tissue is incised at this point, and a pocket is created for the implant within the muscle with careful dissection. Surprisingly, there is minimal bleeding. The implants are inserted into the newly created pockets, and the muscles are closed over the implants. The midline incision is then closed in layers. Liposuction is to be performed through isolated incisions.
The Recovery Process for Gluteal Augmentation
After gluteal augmentation or butt implants, you can expect to avoid sitting down or lying on your back for up to three weeks post-procedure. Special compression garments are given to reduce swelling. Swelling post-procedure is expected, as is some bruising or discomfort. However, male patients typically return to work three weeks after buttock implants and gluteal augmentation, when the swelling will cease completely after six weeks.
