What is Buttock Implant?
Buttock implant surgery (gluteal augmentation) uses medical-grade silicone implants to add volume, projection, and shape to flat or underdeveloped buttocks. Unlike fat transfer procedures, implants provide a predictable and permanent result regardless of the patient's body fat percentage. At MedProper, the procedure is performed in Istanbul's JCI and TEMOS-accredited hospital with a fully inclusive package.
How Does Buttock Implant Work?
- 1Your surgeon evaluates your anatomy and discusses implant size, shape, and placement (intramuscular or subfascial) during a preoperative consultation.
- 2Under general anaesthesia, a single incision is made within the natural gluteal crease to minimise visible scarring.
- 3A pocket is created within or beneath the gluteus maximus muscle, and the sterile silicone implant is positioned symmetrically.
- 4The incision is closed in multiple layers with absorbable sutures to ensure a secure, well-supported result.
- 5A compression garment is applied to stabilise the implants and reduce swelling during the early healing phase.
Who is a Good Candidate for Buttock Implant?
- Adults who desire more buttock volume and projection but lack sufficient body fat for a fat transfer (BBL)
- Patients with naturally flat or asymmetric buttocks seeking a permanent augmentation solution
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking at least one month before and after surgery
- Individuals in good general health with realistic expectations about the outcome
- Patients who understand the specific recovery requirements, including modified sitting for several weeks
Why Choose Buttock Implant at MedProper?
Predictable volume and shape
Implants deliver consistent projection regardless of body fat levels, ideal for leaner patients.
Permanent augmentation
Unlike fat transfer, implant volume does not diminish over time with weight fluctuations.
Hidden incision
The single incision is placed within the natural buttock crease, making it virtually invisible once healed.
All-inclusive Istanbul package
Your €2,252 package covers surgery, implants, JCI-accredited hospital stay, hotel, transfers, medications, and 12-month aftercare.

Weeks 3-4
Gradual return to sitting
Sitting tolerance increases. Light daily activities resume. Stitches dissolve.
Months 2-3
Activity increase
Light exercise such as walking and swimming permitted. Avoid squats and direct buttock pressure.
Months 6-12
Final result
Implants fully settle into their final position. Scar fades. Full exercise routine can resume.

Frequently Asked Questions
Implants use medical-grade silicone to add volume and are ideal for patients without enough fat for transfer. A BBL uses your own fat. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals.
Sitting is restricted for the first two weeks and then gradually reintroduced with a cushion. Most patients sit comfortably without restrictions by six weeks.
Modern silicone gluteal implants are designed to last many years. They do not deflate like older implants and typically remain in place for 10 to 15 years or longer before reassessment is needed.
Moderate discomfort is expected for the first five to seven days, managed effectively with prescribed medication. Most patients describe the sensation as deep pressure rather than sharp pain.
Everything is covered: surgeon and anaesthesiologist fees, silicone implants, JCI-accredited hospital stay, hotel accommodation, airport and clinic transfers, medications, and 12-month remote aftercare.

Pigmentation Laser Session (Q-Switched Nd:YAG)
One session of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for post-inflammatory or sun-related pigmentation. Priced per session. How many sessions are needed — and whether laser is the right treatment for your skin tone at all — is decided by the doctor after seeing the area in person.
Mole Excision (per lesion, pathology included)
Surgical removal of a single benign mole or skin lesion under local anaesthesia, with the specimen sent for pathology. Priced per lesion. Usually added to another operation during the same stay; on its own it is a short outpatient visit.
