Buttock enhancement aims to beautifying the body as seen from behind.

Buttock augmentation can reshape, increase the volume, and lift the gluteus. The results are that of more harmonious buttocks, with the desired shape and volume, and a better and perkier appearance.

The Buttocks are the centre of the posterior body and play a very important role on its contour. The buttocks on the back play the same role of the breast on the chest. The main features of both are the projection and the round shape, something strictly confined to women.

Buttock reshaping and augmentation procedures alter and improve the appearance of the male and female Buttocks. This is a relatively new field in aesthetic surgery, but in later years this type of operation has become popular especially in big cities like Rio deJaneiro and Los Angeles. Many patients feel uncomfortable with their posterior contour and troubled by situations like swimming, beach or sports. Also, changing dressing fashion, codification of aesthetic norms of the buttock, as well as procedural improvements have increased interest in buttock augmentation surgery.

Plan your Buttock Enhancement treatment

The consultation

The Best Candidates:

An area of the body not easily enlarged, shaped by weight training or diet is the buttocks region.

Individuals that wish to enlarge, lift, and reshape the buttock mounds, have 2 options:

1. Enlargement with fat transfer (your own fat)
2. Or using a variety of different size and shape implants from which to choose.

The decision is made depending on each person’s individual desires and on their general body build. Generally, anyone in average physical condition or good health can be a candidate for buttock augmentation surgery.

The surgery

Fat transfer: It is a minimally invasive procedure that involves fat suctioning from other part of your body, purifying it and transplanting it into the buttock area to look as natural as possible for the optimal cosmetic effect. It is usually done under general anaesthetic as a day case, will go home the same day, quick recovery time and less painful than buttock implants.

Buttock Implants: It is a bigger operation but gives you permanent results. It involves a 5-7cm single incision is placed over the tailbone in the midline, through this incision the buttock muscle (gluteus maximus) is identified and dissected to create just large enough pocket for the implant. The implant will be inserted and positioned to look natural.

The patient will require to stay in Hospital overnight. Pain medications typically are prescribed to help with the discomfort. Some patients will require drains overnights.

There is usually minor swelling and bruising after buttock augmentation and the results will be noticeable immediately after surgery. The procedure is done under General Anaesthesia or/and epidural anaesthetics.

After Surgery

Fat transfer: Quick recovery, pain usually tolerated with simple analgesia.

Buttock implants: The patient may be very uncomfortable for the first few days. It is difficult to turn in any position to get comfortable. It is advisable that someone will be with the person for the next several days just to help get out of bed, prepare meals, etc. It will take few days before the patient find it more comfortable to walk about and get back to daily activities.

The dressing should remain dry and intact for few days. The patient will be reviewed at the clinic 7 days after surgery for wound and implant check.

Getting you back to work and daily activities

Fat transfer: Back to work in 2 days time, daily activities in 7-10 days.

Buttock implants: Full activities including gym, work, bicycling, and running can usually be resumed about four weeks following surgery. It may take up to six or eight months until the results feel as if they're part of the body and the patient forgets about them even being there.
