GLUTEOPLASTY

Gluteus enlargement with prosthesis

It consists of increasing the volume and gluteal projection, by placing silicone implants specially designed for this purpose. They generate an immediate and permanent increase in the size of the area

Procedure

The harmonic buttocks are one of the characteristic attributes of women and, according to the region of the world, have different configurations of shape and size. Like other parts of the human body, they can be affected by congenital, acquired pathologies, trauma, etc., but the distinguishing feature is that being composed of different muscles can be exercised and increased in volume, although not always in the desired or expected form. For all these cases, a silicone implant can be placed. It is placed by a small, almost imperceptible, intergluteal incision, and generally below the higher gluteus muscle.

Duration of the procedure

Approximately 2 hours of surgery.

Required anesthesia

Spinal or epidural anesthesia is required.

Hospitalization

Usually, about 10 hours, the mobility and sensitivity of the legs and correct bladder control should be restored before discharge.

Any discomfort

A sensation of tension or tightness in the gluteal zone. Discreet pain is usually controlled with a good combination of medications.

Possible complications

Within the complications are the hematoma, the infection, the extrusion of the prosthesis, and the asymmetries. Fortunately, all of very low frequency.

Recovery stage

It is a procedure that requires a lot of collaboration from the patient and their environment since for a few days they should sleep on their stomach trying not to support the buttocks on hard surfaces, allowing in this way that the implants remain quiet in the position that was placed by the surgeon. Likewise, the sensation of tension and pain should be controlled with the analgesics indicated for this purpose and the placement of local ice. Work activity can usually be resumed at 15 days and physical activity at 45 days.

Results that can be achieved

The results are immediate, achieving a great increase of volume and projection of the buttocks, however, the form must be analyzed months later when the inflammation descends.

Gluteal augmentation with lipo transfer

It involves an injection of the patient's own fatty tissue into the subcutaneous area that covers the gluteal muscles. That fat to be used is obtained from a liposuction practiced in the same operative act, and processed by different means.

Procedure

It implies the injection by small punctures concealed under the area of the underwear, of fat tissue of the own patient, in the subcutaneous zone that covers the gluteal muscles. That fat to be used is obtained from a liposuction practiced in the same operative act, and processed by different means. Perigluteous areas are always treated to highlight the contour of the same, increasing their projection.

Duration of the procedure

The gluteal augmentation takes place in a very short time, the greatest delay is due to the number of areas that have to be treated by liposuction previously. On average it takes about 2 hours.

Required anesthesia

It is a procedure that can be performed with local anesthesia and sedation, spinal or general anesthesia.

Hospitalization

It depends more on the anesthesia used than on the surgery, generally from 8 to 12 hours.

Any discomfort

You may feel burning, swelling, a feeling of pricking in the liposuction areas, tightness in the buttocks and tightness. Some areas may present alterations in more or less of the sensitivity.

Possible complications

Hematomas, infection, partial reabsorption of injected fatty tissue, asymmetries. Although rare they are easily solved with minor corrections.

Recovery stage

The use of an elastic band in the liposuctioned areas is required for several weeks to decrease inflammation and help with the position of the skin. The gluteal area should be supported as little as possible for a few days which leads to sleep on the stomach, standing and supporting the buttocks on soft surfaces.

Results that can be achieved

The placed fatty tissue increases the volume of the glutes and produces a positive visual impact in the patients. The initial irregularities disappear as the days go by, and there is a discreet reabsorption of the fatty tissue, which places a little more of what is going to remain in truth. Each day that passes the liposuction areas improve so that the concavities increase and the convexities are highlighted, generating a positive harmony.
