Butt Augmentation with Implants In Miami, FL

Beautiful Curves, Bold Confidence

Introduction to Butt Augmentation with Implants

A fuller, rounder buttock can transform how you look and feel in everything from jeans to swimwear. For many patients, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is the answer. But if you are naturally slim and don’t have enough fat to transfer, or you want more projection than fat alone can provide, butt implants offer a reliable alternative.

At Miami Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Pat Pazmiño, MD, FACS, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs butt augmentation with implants to add lasting volume, shape, and projection. With more than two decades of experience in advanced body contouring, he tailors every procedure to your frame and goals.

Butt Augmentation with Implants-intro

What Is Butt Augmentation with Implants?

Butt augmentation with implants, also called gluteal augmentation or gluteoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that places soft, solid silicone implants in the buttocks to increase volume and projection. Unlike breast implants, gluteal implants are made of a firm yet flexible solid silicone that can’t leak or rupture, so they are designed to withstand the pressure of sitting.

Because the implant does not rely on fat survival, results are predictable and immediate, and they don’t depend on how much body fat you have.

Butt Implants vs. BBL: Which Is Right for You?

Both procedures enhance the buttocks, but they work differently. During your consultation, Dr. Pazmiño will help you choose the approach that best fits your body and goals.

Use solid silicone implants to add volume and projection; ideal if you are slim, have little fat to transfer, or want a predictable result

Dr. Pazmiño’s Approach to Butt Implants

Dr. Pazmiño has performed more than 800 buttock implant procedures, making him one of the most experienced surgeons in this field. His technique is designed around your safety, comfort, and a natural-looking result:

  • Implants chosen for your body: Dr. Pazmiño uses solid silicone gluteal implants from Silimed, Implantech, and Hanson Medical, selecting the shape and size that best fit your anatomy and goals.
  • Hidden incisions: The implants are inserted through two small 1.5-inch incisions hidden in the crease between the buttocks, where they’re virtually invisible.
  • Placed inside the muscle: Dr. Pazmiño places each implant inside the gluteus maximus muscle, which surrounds and supports the implant and holds it securely in place. Implants placed more superficially, outside the muscle, carry a higher risk of serious complications and can lead to skin stretching or the implant flipping over time.
  • Implants and fat transfer together: Many patients combine buttock implants with fat transfer, using their own fat to blend the implant edges into the surrounding contour for a full, smooth, natural shape. As with every Brazilian butt lift Dr. Pazmiño performs, the fat is placed under ultrasound guidance only in the safe layer above the muscle, never into the muscle.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Butt Implants?

You may be a good candidate for butt implants if you:

  • Want more volume or projection in your buttocks
  • Are slim or have too little fat to transfer for a BBL
  • Have tried a BBL and lost more volume than you wanted
  • Are at a stable, healthy weight
  • Are in good overall health and do not smoke, or are willing to quit before surgery
  • Have realistic expectations and can follow recovery guidelines, including limited sitting.

During your consultation, Dr. Pazmiño will evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, and goals to determine whether implants, an ultraBBL®, or a combination approach is right for you.

What Are the Benefits of Butt Implants?

Butt implants offer dependable enhancement for patients who want more than fat transfer can provide. Key benefits include:

  • Fuller, rounder, more projected buttocks
  • An option for slim patients who don’t have enough fat for a BBL
  • Predictable, immediate volume that doesn’t depend on fat survival
  • Long-lasting results that hold up through weight changes better than fat
  • Implant sizes and shapes chosen to complement your frame
  • Improved body proportions and better clothing fit

How to Begin Your Butt Implant Journey

Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Pazmiño at our Brickell office in Miami, FL. During your visit, he will:

  • Discuss the size, shape, and projection you want
  • Examine your buttock anatomy, muscle, and skin
  • Help you choose an implant size and shape that suits your frame
  • Use picture morphing to help you visualize your potential results
  • Explain the procedure, recovery, and how implants compare with an ultraBBL®

If you have had buttock surgery elsewhere and are unhappy with your results, Dr. Pazmiño also performs revision surgery. Out-of-town patients can work with our team to coordinate travel and recovery plans.

5 Steps to Prepare for My Butt Implants with Dr. Pazmiño

Preparing well helps your surgery and recovery go smoothly. Dr. Pazmiño will give you personalized instructions, which usually include these steps:

  1. Stop smoking and using nicotine products several weeks before surgery, as nicotine slows healing.
  2. Maintain a stable weight leading up to your procedure.
  3. Complete any lab work or medical clearance Dr. Pazmiño requests.
  4. Avoid aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory medications, supplements, and alcohol, as directed.
  5. Get a BBL pillow or cushion so that you can sit without putting pressure on your buttocks.

7 Tips for Recovery From Butt Augmentation with Implants

  1. Wear your compression garment exactly as directed.
  2. Avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks; use a cushion when you must sit.
  3. Take short, gentle walks to support circulation and lower the risk of blood clots.
  4. Keep your incisions clean and dry, and follow all wound-care instructions.
  5. Avoid heavy lifting, squats, and strenuous exercise until Dr. Pazmiño clears you.
  6. Stay hydrated and eat a nutritious, protein-rich diet to support healing.
  7. Attend all follow-up appointments so that our team can monitor your healing.

What to Expect on the Day of Butt Implant Surgery

Dr. Pazmiño performs butt augmentation with implants under general anesthesia, so you stay comfortable throughout your procedure. Your surgery generally follows these steps:

  • Marking: Dr. Pazmiño marks your implant pockets and incision site while you are standing.
  • Incisions: He makes two small incisions hidden in the crease between the buttocks.
  • Pocket creation: He carefully creates a precise space for each implant within the gluteal tissue.
  • Implant placement: He positions each implant for balanced, natural-looking projection and checks for symmetry.
  • Closure: He closes the incisions in layers with fine sutures, may place small drains to reduce swelling, and fits you into a compression garment.

Because the incisions are hidden in the crease, you can wear any underwear or swimwear afterward, including bikinis and thongs, without a visible scar. Butt implant surgery is designed as an outpatient procedure, so you go home or back to your hotel the same day, but you never go home alone. Every patient goes home with a private nurse who stays for the first 24 hours to keep you comfortable, help with your care, and look after your safety.

Combining My Butt Augmentation with Implants with Other Procedures

Many patients pair butt implants with other body-contouring procedures for a more complete transformation. Dr. Pazmiño will recommend only the combinations that are safe and appropriate for you.

ultraBBL® is Dr. Pazmiño’s ultrasound-guided Brazilian butt lift. When combined with implants, transferred fat can soften the implant edges and refine the shape of your hips and upper buttocks.

Butt Implant Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Butt Augmentation with Implants Care

Recovery after butt implants takes patience, since the implants need time to settle into place. Dr. Pazmiño and our team will guide you through every stage:

  • First week: Expect soreness, swelling, and tightness; prescribed medication can help manage these. Wear your compression garment, sleep on your stomach or side, and sit only when necessary.
  • Weeks 2 to 3: Discomfort eases, and you can gradually increase light activity. Sitting remains limited, and many patients return to desk work with Dr. Pazmiño’s approval.
  • Weeks 6 to 8: With Dr. Pazmiño’s approval, most patients return to exercise, including lower-body workouts.
  • In the following months: Swelling continues to fade, the implants soften and settle, and your final shape becomes more defined.
