Buttock augmentation is
designed for men and women who desire a more beautiful, more
rounded and firmly shaped backside.
You may be a good candidate
for butt augmentation if:
You feel you have poorly developed buttocks
You wish to enhance your backside
You are self conscious of your derriere
The two commonly used
methods for butt augmentation are:
Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT)
Silicone Implants
Excess fat from other areas
of the body (donor site) are delicately removed and gently inserted
through small incisions into different layers of the buttocks.
The fat is placed strategically in layers for a natural and
smooth appearance.
The amount of fat transferred depends on the donor site availability
and the patient's cosmetic goals. Since 30 to 40% of the fat
is likely to be resorbed the procedure is generally overdone.
The surgery is generally
done under general anaesthesia. An incision is taken in the
butt crease (where the butt meets the posterior thigh). A suitable
size pocket is made either superficial or deep to the gluteal
muscle. Synthetic silicone filled implant is then placed in
the pocket (above the sitting area) and the incision is closed.
You may require liposuction in some areas to further enhance
your buttocks.
You will have a compression
garment on after surgery which you will be advised to use for
4 to 6 weeks postoperatively. You will be allowed to sit immediately
after surgery. The stitches will be removed after 7 to 10 days.
You must rest for the initial few days. Non-strenuous activity
will be permitted after 3 to 5 days. Strenuous activity will
be allowed after 4 to 6 weeks.
Butt augmentation is a very
successful procedure which will not only enhance your back-side
but will also boost your confidence and self-esteem.
You may have a detailed discussion about
this during your personal consultation. Some of the possible
complications include -
AFT - Anaesthesia related
complications, irregularities or asymmetry (may be corrected
with touch-up procedure), bleeding, infection, scarring etc.
Implant - anaesthesia related complications, shift of implant,
asymmetry, bleeding, infection, rupture of implant (very rare)
etc. Pain and stiffness is temporary but is greatest within
the first 48 hours after surgery.
