1. Booty! Ten Things to Know About Butt Implants
Boob jobs are a thing of the past. The new must-have surgical enhancement for aspiring video vixens, reality stars, and Instagram models is a butt implant. From a subtle pop like Erica Jean’s, to something far more dramatic, like K. Michelle’s, everybody seems to want more junk in the trunk these days. But before you […]
2. No Pain, No Gain
Nobody said a great derriere came easy. Following an implant surgery, patients can be in pain for weeks, and may not be comfortable sitting for almost a month. In this case, the saying really is true. No pain, no gain.
3. They Can — and Probably Will — Disappear On You
In some instances, butt injections can actually disappear into thin air. Actually, the saline solution used in the injection can break down as quickly as within the first year.

Some patients choose to get simple fat injections. If that’s the case, fat will, in time, get reabsorbed by the entire body, so fat in your butt will decrease, while fat in other places may increase.

7. They’re Not Just for Girls
When men come in and ask for butt implants, they want a more athletic look, often bringing pictures of Tom Brady’s rear.
8. Second Thoughts
Just like K. Michelle, some women decide to get rid of their implants. When asked about removal, doctors say that skin stretching or sagging isn’t likely, unless very large implants have been placed on top of (instead of under) the Gluteus Maximus muscle, or if the patient has had the implants for over 5 years.
9. Thanks, Ladies
Many professionals have attributed the rise of popularity in butt implants to social media stars like Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose.
10. Ask for the Kim K. Special
In fact, one doctor revealed in an interview that when people come in for implants, they often ask for “[The] Kardashian and the J.Lo thing.”
11. It’s Based On Science, Y’All
According to evolutionary psychologist Gordon Gallup Jr., “If a woman has a narrow waist, she’s not pregnant. And if she has broad hips it means that the underlying skeletal morphology is probably such that she’d be able to have a relatively unencumbered childbirth.” Guess Sir Mix-a-Lot had science on his side when he rapped about […]
