Implant type

Hello ! have an upcoming appointment for buttock implants however I am a bit curious to first know what type of implant is commonly used for this procedure and is it safe for doctor to insert a breast implant in place of actual solid round silicone butt implant ?

edit : the surgeon shared that the implant type he uses is by Allergan . Is that for buttock ? Thanks for your help

Procedure: Buttock Implants
Location: Little Rock, AR

Buttock implants are made of a similar material to breast implants but they are not the same. A breast implant should never be used for buttock augmentation.

Gluteal Implants are made of silicone rubber polymer. Breast Implants should never be used in the buttocks
