I want to get butt implants but what are the risks? how long do they last what are the different procedures?

Butt implant risks: Include infection requiring removal, scarring, asymmetry, loss of sensation, pain, and malposition, among other more rare ones. Fat grafting is another option for buttock enlargement, but can require more than one treatment and can also leave lumps, irregularities, scar tissue, or become infected, etc. Fat is living and lasts long-term; implants do not leak or break--should last long-term.

Many potential risks: Buttock implants should only be performed by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. There are many risks associated with this procedure, including infection, incorrect placement, and migration of the implants. You should seek a surgeon in your area who specializes in this procedure to get the specific risks and alternatives.
