Service Overview
Procedure Objective
Enhance your silhouette with precision. At Vive Plastic Surgery, we offer gluteal augmentation using high-quality silicone implants for patients seeking permanent and reliable enhancement. Whether you lack sufficient fat for a BBL or prefer predictable results, our expert team is here to sculpt your ideal shape.
Gluteal implants offer a powerful solution for patients who want a more defined, projected, and shapely backside but are not ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift. At Vive Plastic Surgery in Tijuana, our board-certified surgeons specialize in gluteal augmentation using high-quality silicone implants designed to deliver predictable, long-lasting results.
This procedure is particularly popular among lean patients who simply do not have enough donor fat for a BBL, as well as those who prefer a more dramatic, sculpted look than fat transfer can reliably provide. Our modern facility, just minutes from the San Diego border, is equipped with advanced surgical technology and supported by a bilingual team experienced in serving international patients.
### What Are Gluteal Implants?
Unlike a Brazilian Butt Lift, gluteal implants are solid silicone devices placed within the muscle to increase volume and improve shape. This technique is ideal for lean patients or those desiring a more dramatic and defined look.
The implants are custom-selected in size, shape, and projection to match your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Your surgeon will place them through a discreet incision hidden within the natural crease between the buttocks, then position them within the gluteal muscle using an intramuscular technique. This approach produces a natural feel and appearance while minimizing the risk of complications such as implant visibility or displacement.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Most patients return to their recovery house the same day, with detailed aftercare instructions and direct access to our medical team.

FAQs
Questions we hear most often
**How long do gluteal implants last?**
Gluteal implants can last over 10 to 15 years without needing replacement, provided there are no complications. As with any implant, periodic follow-up with your surgeon is recommended.
**Can I sit after surgery?**
You will need to limit direct sitting for about 2 weeks post-op and use a special cushion during recovery to protect the implants and reduce pressure on the healing tissue.
**Is the procedure painful?**
Mild to moderate soreness is expected during the first week or two. Discomfort is managed with prescribed medications and close medical supervision by our team.
**How soon will I see results?**
Results are visible immediately after surgery, though initial swelling will partially obscure the final contour. Over the following weeks, swelling subsides and the implants settle into their permanent position, revealing the final shape.
**Will the implants look and feel natural?**
When placed using the intramuscular technique, gluteal implants typically look and feel natural, especially as the surrounding tissue adapts during the healing process.
**Can I combine gluteal implants with other procedures?**
Yes. Many patients combine gluteal implants with liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast surgery for a more comprehensive body contouring transformation. Your surgeon will discuss safe combinations during your consultation.
