In order to achieve the desired final look of an hourglass figure, many patients opt for combination procedures to pair with their butt implants. In Beverly Hills, CA, Dr. Ryan Stanton offers butt implants alongside procedures like hip augmentation, BodyTite, and tummy tuck surgery to help patients improve their proportions from multiple angles. Every patient has different goals, which is why combining treatments can help bring them closer to their final, cohesive look with a more personalized treatment plan.
Creating a More Proportional Shape
What is the goal of combining other body contouring procedures with butt implants?
Butt implants add projection and shape to the buttocks, but many patients also want improvement in the hips, waist, or abdomen so the final result looks more harmonious. Buttock implants can create a long-lasting, natural-looking lift and shape, especially when placed intramuscularly, and complementary procedures can enhance the hourglass effect or improve the transition into surrounding areas.
The goal of combining procedures with butt implants often includes:
- Increasing buttock projection while also refining the waistline
- Smoothing hip dips or widening the hips for a stronger hourglass shape
- Removing loose abdominal skin or tightening the midsection
- Improving skin laxity in areas where fat reduction alone is not enough
- Building a result that looks balanced from the front, side, and back
When body contouring is approached this way, butt implants become one part of a larger aesthetic plan. Dr. Stanton’s focus is on how each procedure supports the others, so the final contour looks intentional rather than isolated.
Procedures That Pair Well with Butt Implants
What other body contouring procedures can be combined with butt implants?
Several procedures can be paired with butt implants, depending on what is driving the concern. A tummy tuck can improve loose abdominal skin, muscle separation, and waist contour. Hip augmentation can widen the hips and reduce the look of hip dips. BodyTite can help tighten tissue and contour areas with less downtime than more invasive body contouring surgery. Liposuction of the waist and flanks is a popular pairing for patients seeking a more hourglass-shaped outcome.
Procedures that may be combined with butt implants include:
- Hip augmentation to widen the hips and create stronger side-to-side balance
- Tummy tuck to remove excess skin, tighten muscles, and reshape the waist
- Liposuction of the waist and flanks to further define the silhouette
- BodyTite to tighten tissue and support smoother contour transitions
Each of these procedures serves a different purpose. Dr. Stanton will help you find the right combination, whether your main issue is projection, width, loose skin, or all three.
What Recovery Looks Like After Combined Body Contouring
What does recovery look like after a combination of body contouring procedures?
Recovery after butt implants is already more restrictive than many other body procedures, so combination planning has to account for those limitations. The first 2 weeks after butt implant placement are the most challenging, with swelling, tightness, and discomfort. Patients are asked to avoid sitting on their buttocks and avoid stairs early on, and side sleeping is prohibited for 3 weeks. Most patients return to work after 2 to 3 weeks, with sitting gradually reintroduced over time and full restrictions typically lifted at about 6 weeks.
A combined recovery plan may involve:
- If a tummy tuck is included, recovery may also involve about 2 weeks away from sedentary work, gentle movement within a few days
- If BodyTite is part of the plan, recovery is generally shorter, with many patients back to work within days
- Walking restrictions that gradually ease as healing progresses
- Hip augmentation recovery is often easier and less painful than butt implant recovery
Recovery time is different depending on the procedure, so the limiting factor on a combination procedure may be how much time you are able to take off for healing.

Choosing the Right Combination for Your Body
How do I know which combination of body contouring procedures is right with a butt implant?
The best combination starts with identifying what is missing from your shape. If you want more projection, butt implants may be the solution. If the hips are narrow or hip dips are the bigger issue, hip augmentation may be the better add-on. If loose abdominal skin or muscle laxity affects your overall contour, a tummy tuck may do more for your silhouette than adding volume alone. Dr. Stanton’s priority is to match the procedure to the problem areas and to your willingness to commit to the required recovery.
A consultation often helps clarify:
- Whether your shape would benefit more from projection, width, or waist refinement
- Whether loose skin is limiting the final contour
- Whether you can realistically manage the recovery restrictions
- Whether a staged approach would be safer or more practical
- Which procedures will create the most balanced outcome together
During consultation, Dr. Stanton will review anatomy, contour goals, and recovery expectations so the plan makes sense for both your body and your lifestyle. The best combination is the one that improves proportion without creating a recovery process you are not prepared to handle.
