Buttock Implants also referred to as Buttock Augmentation, Butt Implants, Gluteal Augmentation
Conceptually buttock implants, or butt augmentations, are similar to breast augmentations except, of course, with the buttocks instead of breasts. The actual implants themselves are completely different.
Buttock implants are very soft, solid silicone implants and breast implants are more like soft, fluid-filled sacks. The buttock region is an area of the body that is not easily enlarged or shaped with aesthetic purposes in mind.
