Plastic surgeons say that despite changing fashion trends and aesthetic preferences in terms of appearance, women still dream of having a "Brazilian butt"; and go to clinics for buttock augmentation (gluteoplasty). This operation has occupied a leading position for many years, and today effective methods for its implementation have been developed. Most often in this case, endoprosthesis is used. The latest generation silicone implants are used for buttock augmentation – reliable and durable. Read about the features of gluteoplasty at estet-portal.com.
Who is recommended for buttock augmentation and how is their ideal shape determined
The question of ideal buttocks has been discussed for quite a long time, there are many theories and calculations based on various parameters. So, some experts believe that when assessing the size of the buttocks, it is worth comparing the volume of the waist and hips: the narrowest point at the waist level should be 0.7 of the volume of the hips. In addition, the following factors are taken into account when evaluating the parameters of the buttocks:
- fullness of the buttocks and the presence of ptosis,
- height and projection,
- soft tissue distribution,
- shape of the gluteal fold.
All parameters of the buttocks for each patient are evaluated individually, since any correction of their shape should be carried out taking into account the harmonious proportions of the body.
Buttock augmentation can be achieved either with lipofilling or endoprosthesis with silicone implants.
The main indications for gluteoplasty can be:
- soft tissue ptosis in the buttocks,
- buttock volume loss after dramatic weight loss,
- Congenital asymmetry or deformity following trauma or surgery.
Anatomical features of the gluteal region, when the patient has flat, low buttocks, lacking clear boundaries, or other aesthetic defects, may also become an indication for gluteoplasty.
How is buttock augmentation performed with implants
To increase the buttocks, it is most often recommended to resort to arthroplasty. This plastic surgery is performed using silicone implants – specially designed for this area of the body, spherical pouches with a flat base, they have a very dense shell and are filled with silicone gel. Surgeons choose the most appropriate implant shape for the patient – round or drop-shaped, and also decide on the optimal way for this patient to install it – under the gluteus maximus, under the fascia, or between the muscles to minimize risk of endoprosthesis contouring and its pressure on the sciatic nerve.
The implant creates a visual filling of the upper and central buttocks area, it is completely hidden under the muscle and soft tissues, remaining completely invisible in any postures and body positions.
Buttock augmentation with implants is possible only in the upper-central part, the lower part of the gluteoplasty does not affect, since the low implant can compress the sciatic nerve and cause pain, discomfort when walking.
Buttock augmentation surgery with implants usually takes 1-1.5 hours under general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon makes an incision in the intergluteal fold, forms a bed for the implant under the gluteus maximus muscle or between the muscles, and installs it. Next, a cosmetic suture and a fixing bandage are applied to the incision. The rehabilitation period after surgery may be marked by a feeling of fullness, moderate pain, as well as bruising and swelling.
About a week later, the stitches are removed, after a month there are practically no traces of the operation. Surgeons will tell the patient about the mandatory restrictions of the postoperative period – a ban on visiting baths and saunas for a month, limiting sports training for 2 months, on the mandatory wearing of compression underwear according to a special regime.
It is very important for the patient to remember that she should never receive intramuscular injections in the buttock area, because the needle can damage the implant. Other restrictions after the operation are quickly completed, and the impeccable shape of the buttocks is admired by others.
