Buttock implants

Buttock implants also called gluteal augmentation, is a procedure that aims to enhance the shape of the buttocks.

Butt implants are artificial devices surgically placed in the buttocks to create volume in the area.

Buttock implants are ideal for patients looking to create more buttock volume.

The operation is aimed at raising the buttocks, and enlarging them, as well as modeling their shape. During the procedure, excess skin is removed. The surgeon makes an incision in the gluteal fold and inserts the implant into a specific place. The duration of the procedure is 3-4 hours with general anesthesia.

Buttock implants and augmentation are considered permanent and the surgery has an overall high success rate.

You will receive instructions on how to prepare for the procedure. Please inform your doctor about all medications you are taking and complaints during your medical consultation. All required tests should be performed as prescribed by the physician before surgery.

It is very important to stop smoking and drinking alcohol before surgery because these substances have a significant negative effect on wound healing. We recommend giving up alcohol and cigarettes for as long as possible before and after the procedure to avoid postoperative scars.

During the initial healing period, the patient should remain in the abdominal position until the implants have been accepted. Recovery time is 10-14 days, you should wear compression underwear that will improve wound healing after the procedure.

Do not do any physical exercise for up to 4 weeks. During the first weeks after the surgery, avoid physical exertion or heavy lifting, as well as sauna visits, bathing, and sunbathing. It is also worth giving up drinking and smoking nicotine-containing products as long as possible. This is important because of the proper healing of wounds after surgery and reducing the likelihood of scars.

You should also avoid putting direct pressure on your butt.

We may also advise you to avoid sleeping on your back or sitting for the first two to three weeks — except for eating and using the toilet.

After this time, you’ll need to use a pillow beneath your hamstrings for at least eight weeks.

Pain medication will be prescribed as needed during recovery time to alleviate any pain or discomfort you may experience.

Butt implants are relatively safe. However, like any plastic surgery, butt implant surgery has risks. Getting a larger implant can increase the chances of complications, like incisions opening after surgery and implants moving out of place.

People struggling with comorbidities or other health problems must inform their physician during the first qualification consultation. Before the procedure, perform all tests as prescribed by the doctor and follow all recommendations before and after the procedure.

Some of the most common side effects include excessive bleeding after surgery, pain, scarring, skin discoloration, infection, fluid or blood accumulation underneath the buttock, allergic reactions, skin loss. nausea and vomiting from anesthesia.
