Intramuscular gluteal augmentation technique

Gluteal augmentation with the intramuscular approach produces very good aesthetic results and, when properly performed, has a low incidence of complications. Using the intramuscular tissue plane ensures that implants are naturally positioned. In addition, larger implants may be used than with the submuscular technique, which many patients request. Of all possible gluteal implant placement options, the intramuscular position provides the greatest amount of implant coverage and pads the implant with muscle tissue above and below as well as along the inferior edge.
