Buttock augmentation is a body cosmetic surgery procedure designed to achieve stable and natural results, similar to those achieved with exercise. Let's take a look at what it involves:
What is Gluteoplasty?
The aesthetic appearance of the buttocks is increasingly important for many people who desire a youthful and toned physique. Gluteoplasty, or buttock reshaping, has become increasingly popular among both female and male patients.
Common indications for this procedure include buttocks that are too small or disproportionate to the rest of the body, loose tissue due to weight loss or aging, and buttock asymmetry.
Gluteoplasty Techniques
There are several techniques for enlarging and firming the buttocks:
- Gluteoplasty with LipofillingThis technique uses the patient's own fat taken from other areas of the body and injected into the buttocks. The advantage is the use of the patient's own natural tissue, but there is a risk that some of the fat may be reabsorbed.
- Gluteoplasty with ProsthesisThis technique involves inserting silicone implants under the gluteus maximus muscle. The implants can be placed under the muscle fascia or within the muscle itself. This method offers predictable results and a soft, natural appearance, but requires the use of implants.
During gluteoplasty, the surgeon inserts the implants through small incisions made in the intergluteal fold. The use of instruments such as the Keller Funnel facilitates deep insertion of the implants, minimizing the size of the incisions.
The procedure lasts about 30 minutes and can be performed as an outpatient procedure. Recovery is relatively quick, with the patient able to return home the same day. Physical activity must be avoided for about 15 days.
Safety of Gluteal Implants
The implants used for gluteoplasty are safe and smooth, ensuring long-lasting and natural results. Their lack of texture reduces the risk of complications and ensures an optimal aesthetic result.
