The Effects Of Silicone Butt Implants On The Body

Buttock implants have a number of different effects on the body.


Butt or buttock implants are for men and women who want to create a more rounded physique on their buttock region, as many people find this attractive. Like other areas of the body where implants are used, buttock implants entail adding silicone into the buttock region under the skin. There are a number of effects this type of cosmetic surgery has on the body.


Post Surgery Side Effects


There are a number of side effects that most people who have buttock implants experience in the first few weeks. These side effects include soreness and some bleeding through the incisions made to insert the implants themselves, but this often heals with proper care. However, infection can occur in these areas and, if it does, should be treated by a doctor immediately. There may often be a certain amount of numbness initially associated with the butt implants due to the surgery and the body getting used to them. More feeling will come back to the buttock region over time if the surgery was done properly and the body adheres to the implants.


Capsular Contracture


Capsular contracture occurs when the scar around the bottom of the buttocks and the implants contracts significantly and has a hard feel to it. This will be uncomfortable to the touch and when moving or sitting. When this occurs, the scar tissue will often have to be scored or removed, which means more surgery. In severe cases, the entire buttock implant will have to be removed and replaced by another, which is even more stressful and painful to the patient. There is no way to really know if this is going to occur or not after having the initial implant surgery, though surgeons know reduce the chances of capsular contracture.


Asymmetry


Due to the fact that the buttocks is used and compressed regularly for sitting, these implants can sometimes become misshaped, causing the buttocks itself to become misshaped. If this occurs, one of two things have happened: the implants themselves have shifted due to a repeated action or intense pressure, or the implants have broken and may be leaking into the body, which will cause them to become malleable and misshapen. In both cases, the asymmetrical buttocks will effect how someone walks, as well as look cosmetically strange to most people. The only way to fix this is to have surgery done to replace the buttock implants.
