Buttock Augmentation with Implants

For many women, the shape and fullness of the buttocks is a feature they wish they could improve — whether the concern is a flatter contour, sagging after weight loss, or simply a desire for more projection and curve. While fat transfer suits some patients, those who lack sufficient donor fat or want reliable, lasting projection may be better served by buttock implants. Using implants of varying sizes and shapes, the procedure can create a rounder, firmer, more lifted backside. Patients across Reno and Lake Tahoe choose Avance Plastic Surgery Institute for natural-looking buttock enhancement.

Buttock augmentation is performed by Dr. Erez Dayan, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute who has completed extensive research on buttock aesthetic surgery and outcomes. Fellowship-trained in aesthetic surgery at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute and Harvard-trained — where he served as Chief Resident in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital — Dr. Dayan has written, lectured, and demonstrated cosmetic and reconstructive techniques all over the world, and is widely sought after for his command of cutting-edge methods and technology. That recognized expertise informs every buttock augmentation he performs among the practice’s body cosmetic procedures.

What Is Buttock Implant Surgery?

Butt implant surgery uses solid silicone implants to add projection, fullness, and shape to the buttocks. Depending on your goals, implants of different sizes and shapes can be selected to create a rounder bottom, firmer buttocks, or even enhanced hips for a more curved figure. Before recommending a plan, Dr. Dayan performs a physical examination and discusses your goals at length, so the approach is matched to your anatomy and the look you want.

“Buttock implants are about choosing the right shape and placement for each patient’s frame. My research into buttock aesthetics shapes how I plan every case so the result looks proportioned and natural.” — Dr. Erez Dayan

Reno/Tahoe Buttock Augmentation: What to Expect

During buttock augmentation, Dr. Dayan can conceal the incision in a variety of locations depending on your needs and the precise position of the implants. The implants are typically placed within or behind the gluteus muscle, and incisions are closed with sutures and skin adhesive. As post-operative swelling subsides over the following weeks, your new contour gradually settles into place. Buttock implant surgery is considered a permanent enhancement that requires no ongoing maintenance of the implants themselves.

Butt Implants or Fat Transfer: Which Is Right for You?

Buttock implants and the Brazilian butt lift each suit different patients. Implants provide reliable projection and are an excellent option for those who lack enough donor fat for transfer, while fat grafting uses your own tissue for a softer, more gradual enhancement. In some cases, the two are combined. Dr. Dayan reviews your measurements, body type, and goals during your consultation to recommend the approach best suited to you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buttock Implant Surgery

Who is a good candidate for butt implants?
Implants are often ideal for patients who want added projection but lack sufficient donor fat for a Brazilian butt lift, or who prefer reliable, lasting fullness. A physical exam and consultation with Dr. Dayan confirm whether implants suit your goals.

How are butt implants different from a Brazilian butt lift?
A Brazilian butt lift uses your own purified fat, while butt implants use solid silicone to add shape and projection. Implants are especially useful when there isn’t enough donor fat available, and the two approaches can sometimes be combined.

Where are the incisions located?
Dr. Dayan can hide the incision in several locations depending on your anatomy and where the implants are placed. The implants typically sit within or behind the gluteus muscle, and incisions are closed discreetly.

Are buttock implants permanent?
Butt implant surgery is considered a permanent enhancement that requires no ongoing maintenance of the implants. As with any implant, your surgeon will discuss long-term considerations during your consultation.

What is recovery like after butt implants?
Swelling subsides gradually over the weeks following surgery, revealing your new contour. Dr. Dayan and his team provide a detailed aftercare plan and follow-up to support a safe, comfortable recovery.

Can implants also enhance my hips?
Yes. Depending on your goals, implants can be selected and positioned to enhance the hips for a more curved figure, not only to add fullness to the buttocks themselves.

Hands down the most qualified, honest and knowledgeable plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada. Dr. Dayan and his staff are truly committed to offering leading edge technology, quality and professionalism to each and every treatment ranging from to simple non invasive injections to complicated procedures. What he and his team have to offer always seems too good to be true, but they always over exceed expectations and are incredibly budget conscientious. The Reno-Tahoe area is incredibly fortunate to welcome such a skilled and qualified aesthetic professional into the area!

Dr. Dayan is the surgeon clients should interview with and choose for their procedures. I am always very cautious when deciding important life decisions and I can say without a doubt that I would go through my surgeries again with Dr. Dayan. Every appointment has been professional, courteous, informative, and truthful. I never felt rushed. I also appreciate knowing my privacy is maintained. My fear of pain is very respected, and his demeanor eases it quite a bit. I made my decision to trust Dr. Dayan because of his extensive education, vast experience, and my first-hand witness of his character. These factors have allowed me to look forward to all of my appointments.

I had three consultations and didn't make any decisions lightly, but Dr. Dayan blew the competition out of the water. From the moment I met him during my consultation, he was honest and open while also personable. He also insisted on putting me in touch with previous patients before I made my decision so that I could have a better understanding of the process and recovery as a whole. I ultimately picked him because I knew he would do a good job but also because I felt at ease with him. The day of surgery, I was very nervous and he was comforting while efficient with his time. He was also completely honest with me during my recovery and called either myself or my husband often to make sure I was doing well, but also to make sure my husband understood the process completely. He also makes himself so available for any little questions or concerns I've had, making me feel secure in knowing he's only a phone call or a text away. Although I am not yet completely healed (only 3 weeks post-op) I already feel so confident in the work that has been done. He has helped me to transform something that had me so insecure for such a long time into a body I feel comfortable in. I cannot wait for the final results! I won't hesitate to return to Dr. Dayan for anything else I need done. Between him and his office staff (Alli) I feel like more of a member of the Avance family rather than a patient!

I highly encourage anyone who is considering plastic/reconstruction surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dayan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from my breast augmentation. At my consultations, not only did I get my questions thoroughly answered, but I was treated with such genuine kindness and patience. Dr. Dayan is professional, highly knowledgeable, honest and has a certain way of connecting with others. For these reasons, I trusted him and felt supported throughout my whole breast augmentation experience from pre- to post-surgery care. All around, I felt safe and informed about this big decision/investment which is all I could ever ask for. I recovered so much easier than I expected, and my breasts are looking perfect and natural! Dr. Dayan definitely listened to what I wanted and followed through. Lastly, I want to mention how sweet and supportive his team is over at Avance! I am very appreciative of their service.

My results after a "noninvasive" procedure are amazing. The cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive technology that Dr. Dayan incorporates into his procedures, as well as being a gifted and talented surgeon and individual, all contribute to his many accomplishments. However, I personally am impressed with his abilities to listen, communicate, and create beautiful results. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Dayan before making a final decision on any kind of procedure. Just another satisfied patient!

I had a perfect experience at Avance. Dr. Dayan was quick, professional, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable during the short procedure I needed done. His demeanor was calming and I was able to put full trust in his abilities from start to finish. Erez really knows his stuff, and it's amazing he's here in Reno when he could clearly be somewhere much bigger if he wanted. I definitely won't hesitate to book again if needed.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Where to start? When I first thought of getting a mommy makeover my expectations were not that high because I didn’t ever think I could look the way I wanted to. I always just hoped it would be an improvement and I would be happy with that. Then I met Dr. Dayan. From the first consultation he made me realize that he could give me beautiful results that I didn’t know were possible. He was so kind and confident and I knew from that moment that he was going to be my surgeon. I booked my surgery (a breast augmentation with implants and a tummy tuck with lipo) that day and it was the best choice I have ever made. Before my procedure he was very thorough and explained step by step what he was going to do which made me feel so comfortable. I actually wasn’t nervous at all. I was so excited! I am now 1 month post op and my results are above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed my body could look like after a mommy makeover. Dr. Dayan did an exceptional job. I am not completely healed and I already am so pleased. There are no words that can do justice to how amazing it is to put trust in someone with my body and wake up with results that are better than I could have ever imagined. He truly is skilled in his profession and has the eye for what is best for your body to give you the best results. He followed up with me several times post op to see how I was feeling. If I had any concerns or questions he responded to them quickly and personally which made me feel confident that everything was going well! His care is exceptional from beginning to end. He has an amazing staff as well. His Patient coordinator Ali is so sweet and helpful. She is amazing with communication as well as helping you with financial options and scheduling. You won’t be disappointed working with Dr. Dayan and Ali!
