It strongly depends on an individual's muscles structure, but even if we suppose that 1 1/2 of an inch (somewhere between 30 and 40 mm) deep is some kind of an average, it is still not very much! I would never recommend making IM injection anywhere else then into the upper outer quarter. If someone likes doing them in another part of the buttocks, only very shallow and subcutaneous ones can be considered safe. Consequences of sciatic nerve damage can be serious and lasting, so don't risk!
