Abstract

Background

Buttock augmentation with solid silicone implants has become an increasingly popular procedure in the United States, but few outcomes studies have been undertaken to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

Objective

The author examines the results of buttock augmentation with solid silicone implants in his private practice.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was conducted of 200 consecutive patients who underwent bilateral buttock augmentation with a total of 400 solid silicone implants over an eight-year period from June 2001 through August 2009. Implants were placed in the subfascial position in 154 patients and in the intramuscular position in 46 patients. Most intramuscular implant placements occurred early in the series, before the author refined his technique. Data from all patients were analyzed to determine the rate of complication, need for surgical revision, and aesthetic outcome.
