How popular is the buttock augmentation procedure

M.S.:

Buttock Augmentation – This is one of the procedures that I do quite often. And every year it becomes more and more popular. Augmentation, lifting, Brazilian buttock lift are being performed more and more often. Due to the growing demand, it is important to remember that this is a procedure that has certain risks, up to and including fatal complications. For example, until recently, patients died after a Brazilian buttock lift. The reason for this was the entry of the fat graft into the bloodstream through a large vessel in the buttocks. Therefore, knowledge of anatomy is of no small importance for this procedure.

A new method of buttock augmentation has been created Buttock Augmentation – it is the third most popular procedure after facial plastic surgery and breast augmentation. People began to focus on the buttocks, because they are the basis of our figure and form a beautiful silhouette.

Buttocks can be enlarged using two tools - a fat graft or a silicone implant.

There are indications for the use of fat grafts and implants, but in my practice I like to combine both methods. I insert the implant into the muscle: not over the muscle, not under it, but into the muscle itself, because the buttocks do not have the same anatomy as the chest and, therefore, other contraction mechanisms.

The fat graft was previously injected into the muscle, but we encountered the complication of a fat embolism, so now we are injecting it into the superficial fat.

How many people want "Kim's ass"

M.S.:

When it comes to trends in buttock augmentation, they are very different in different countries and on different continents. In Europe, in France, women don't want a butt like Kim Kardashian, they want to slightly improve the condition of the buttocks by adding fat in this area, and removing excess fat deposits at the waist.

In South America and Africa, patients really want big buttocks because that's part of their understanding of beauty. Our task as doctors is to follow ethnic differences, because there is no perfect solution.

Telegram! What recommendations do you give to the patient after buttock augmentation

MS:

After buttock augmentation, patients have to follow some rules because it is not a breast augmentation and there is some mechanical load on the implant (sleep, sports). Therefore, after a buttock augmentation for a month, and sometimes 6 weeks, the patient must follow the following rules: • sleep on your stomach, not on your back, because otherwise the implant will be compressed, it can move;

• you need to stop playing sports for at least 6 weeks, because the muscles need to heal. This will avoid extrusion of the implant from the muscle;

• It is also important to abstain from sex for 4-6 weeks because the position can put pressure on the muscles and the implant;

• you can not take a bath and shower for 2-3 weeks for the skin to fully heal.

We have to educate our patients because this is not breast augmentation where the rules are simpler. This zone has a specific anatomy and, moreover, is subjected to mechanical stress.
