Buttock Augmentation with Silicone Implants
If there is insufficient amount of fat to achieve a “lifting and augmenting effect” on the buttocks, then it may be needed to perform the augmentation with silicone gluteal (buttock) implants which are placed inside the muscle.
Buttock augmentation with silicone implants can increase fullness, roundness and projection of your buttocks, and can enhance the overall appearance and shape of the gluteal region.
