Medical experts advise caution for gluteal injection patients with implants

Medical professionals advise that individuals with gluteal implants, fillers, or biostimulators must inform healthcare providers before receiving intramuscular injections. The presence of these aesthetic enhancements can alter the anatomical landscape and the safety of injection sites.

Dr. Leandro Faustino of the Revion International Clinic in São Paulo explains that implants may be located near the structures used for injections. He notes that it is not as simple as choosing a different spot on the buttocks; instead, a professional must evaluate the specific position of the implant to determine if a region should be avoided.

Because prostheses, fillers, and biostimulators occupy different depths and locations, each requires a distinct clinical assessment. Providing a complete medical history regarding these procedures is essential for ensuring safe administration of medication.
