Plastic Surgery is always closely linked to the changing fashions of our society. In recent months there has been a change of mentality towards the idea of a curvy woman. There are many celebrities who have been interested in enhancing their buttocks, on this aspect Dr. Gonzalez-Fontana explains everything you need to know about buttock augmentation surgery.
Buttock augmentation surgery
In order to achieve an enhanced buttock, the first step is to be clear about the person’s expectations. After a thorough examination of the buttocks, checking several factors such as: height, width, the projection of the buttocks, if the patient exercises, if the patient is male or female and the physiognomy of the person to intervene, we can advise to perform one of the different types of buttock augmentation procedures that I describe below:
Buttock augmentation with hyaluronic acid.
Macrolane is the newest technique, less disabling and faster recovery. It consists of injections of hyaluronic acid, an absorbable and natural product, in the buttock area to produce a moderate augmentation. It is an easy and quick technique that can be performed under local anesthesia, although it is true that the results are temporary, approximately two years according to the laboratory.
Buttock augmentation with lipotransfer.
This technique is performed by using your own fat cells removed from areas of unwanted fat accumulation to re-inject them and create a rounder buttock, while sculpting the figure through liposuction. Usually, fat is removed from the abdomen, hips, back or thighs.
This technique may require more than one intervention to achieve the desired buttock size, it is performed under local anesthesia and sedation. It is performed with microcannulas so the scars are imperceptible over time, presenting a postoperative period of a few weeks.
Buttock augmentation with ultra cohesive silicone gel prosthesis.
It is indicated for patients who want to have a great projection of their buttocks and have a thin physiognomy. It is performed under general anesthesia through a 4 cm incision in the intergluteal fold with an implantation of an ultra cohesive silicone gel prosthesis in the intramuscular space of the gluteus maximus. It requires hospitalization for a minimum of one day and a postoperative period of one month.
Buttock augmentation is a procedure that is becoming increasingly popular as men and women become more aware of its results. This is because it is a procedure with a very high success rate.
