PLASTIC SURGERY
RHINOPLASTY
Buttock augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the buttocks. It involves the use of various techniques and procedures to achieve the desired aesthetic goals.
The goal of buttock augmentation is to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance of the buttocks.
Types of Buttock Augmentation:
- BBL uses the patient’s own fat to enhance the buttocks.
- The procedure involves liposuction to remove excess fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs.
- The harvested fat is then processed and injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired volume and shape.
- Buttock implants involve the surgical placement of silicone implants to enhance the buttocks.
- Incisions are made in the buttock crease, and the implants are carefully inserted into a pocket created within the gluteal muscles.
- This procedure is suitable for individuals who have insufficient fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift or desire a more dramatic change in size.
- Some patients may benefit from a combination of fat grafting and implants.
- This approach allows for customization, as it can address specific areas of deficiency while providing additional volume with implants.
Techniques:
- Liposuction is used to harvest fat from donor sites (e.g., abdomen, hips, thighs).
- It involves the insertion of a thin cannula through small incisions to suction out excess fat.
- The harvested fat is processed to separate impurities, oil, and excess fluid.
- This ensures that only healthy fat cells are used for injection.
- Processed fat is injected into multiple layers of the buttocks using small cannulas.
- The surgeon carefully sculpts and distributes the fat to achieve the desired shape and projection.
- Incisions are made in the buttock crease, and pockets are created within the gluteal muscles.
- Silicone implants are then inserted into the pockets and positioned appropriately to achieve the desired results.
Procedure:
- Consultation: Initial consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss goals, expectations, and medical history.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
- Incisions: Incision placement depends on the chosen technique (BBL or implants) and the surgeon's preference.
- Fat Harvesting (BBL): Liposuction is performed on predetermined areas to collect fat for transfer.
- Implant Placement: For buttock implants, incisions are made in the buttock crease, and the implants are carefully positioned.
- Fat Injection (BBL): Processed fat is injected into multiple layers of the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and contour.
- Closing Incisions: Incisions are closed with sutures or surgical adhesive.
- Recovery: The patient is taken to a recovery area to wake up from anesthesia and be monitored before discharge.
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
The potential risks and complications of buttock augmentation include:
- Infection: There is a risk of developing an infection at the incision sites, which may require antibiotics or further treatment.
- Bleeding: Excessive bleeding during or after surgery may require additional medical intervention, such as blood transfusion or surgical intervention.
- Hematoma: Collection of blood in the surgical area, resulting in swelling, pain, and possible surgical drainage.
- Seroma: Fluid accumulation beneath the skin at the surgical site, leading to swelling, discomfort, and potential infection. It may require aspiration or drainage.
- Poor wound healing: In some cases, the incisions may heal slowly or may not heal properly, resulting in wound separation, scarring, or delayed healing.
- Skin necrosis: In rare instances, the blood supply to the skin and tissue may be compromised, leading to tissue death and the formation of ulcers or wounds. This may require additional surgical intervention.
- Fat embolism: During fat grafting, tiny fat droplets may enter the bloodstream and travel to other parts of the body, potentially causing serious complications like pulmonary embolism or organ damage.
- Implant-related complications: For buttock implants, there are risks specific to the implants, such as implant rupture, shifting, or capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant).
- Scarring: Incisions made during surgery will leave scars, which may vary in size, location, and visibility. While efforts are made to minimize scarring, individual healing may affect the final appearance.
- Anesthesia risks: General anesthesia carries its own set of risks, including allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and adverse drug reactions. These risks will be discussed with the anesthesiologist.
- Persistent pain or discomfort: Some individuals may experience prolonged pain, discomfort, or altered sensation in the buttock area after surgery.
- Asymmetry: Achieving perfect symmetry in buttock augmentation can be challenging, and slight differences in size, shape, or positioning may occur between the buttocks.
- Dissatisfaction with results: While efforts are made to understand and meet the patient's expectations, there is a possibility of dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome.
- Revision surgery: In some cases, revision surgery may be necessary to address complications, refine results, or achieve the desired outcome.
It’s important to remember that these risks and complications are rare and can often be minimized by selecting a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, following preoperative and postoperative instructions diligently, and maintaining open communication with your surgical team.
PRE-OPERATION PREPARATION
- Medical evaluation: Complete medical history assessment and physical examination to determine candidacy for surgery.
- Lab tests: Blood tests and imaging studies may be performed to ensure overall health and rule out any underlying conditions.
- Medication adjustment: Discontinue medications or supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding or interfere with anesthesia.
- Smoking cessation: If the patient smokes, they may need to quit several weeks before surgery to minimize complications.
- Fasting: Follow instructions regarding fasting before the surgery to reduce the risk of aspiration during anesthesia.
- Arrange assistance: Ensure that someone is available to help with transportation and postoperative care.
POST-OPERATIVE CARE
- Pain management: Prescribed pain medications should be taken as directed to control discomfort during the recovery period.
- Compression garments: Wearing compression garments can help reduce swelling and promote healing.
- Restricted activities: Avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for the first few weeks to protect the surgical area.
- Limited movement: Minimize strenuous activities, including exercise and heavy lifting, for several weeks.
- Wound care: Follow instructions for wound care, including cleaning and dressing changes, to prevent infection.
- Follow-up appointments: Attend scheduled follow-up visits to monitor progress, remove sutures, and address any concerns.
EXPECTED RESULTS AND RECOVERY TIMELINE
Recovery Process:
- Initial healing (first week): Avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks, wear compression garments, and manage discomfort with prescribed medications.
- Follow-up visits: Schedule appointments with your surgeon to monitor healing progress and remove sutures or dressings.
- Gradual return to normal activities: Follow your surgeon's guidelines for gradually resuming daily activities, work, and exercise.
- Scar care: Follow your surgeon's instructions for proper scar care to promote healing and minimize scarring.
- Post-operative support: Our clinic provides ongoing support and counseling throughout your recovery process.
By following these steps and your surgeon’s instructions, you can ensure a successful recovery after buttock augmentation.
Potential Results:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Buttock augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the buttocks to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance.
There are primarily two types of buttock augmentation procedures: Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which uses the patient’s own fat for enhancement, and buttock implants, which involve the surgical placement of silicone implants.
The duration of buttock augmentation surgery depends on the complexity of the case and the technique used. On average, the procedure can take between two to four hours.
Discomfort can be expected after buttock augmentation surgery, but it is typically well-managed with pain medications prescribed by your surgeon. The level of pain experienced varies from person to person.
The recovery period can vary, but most patients can expect to resume their normal activities within two to four weeks. However, it is essential to follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions for optimal healing and recovery.
Incisions are made during buttock augmentation surgery, and while some scarring is inevitable, skilled surgeons strive to minimize scarring by placing incisions in discreet locations. Over time, the scars generally fade and become less noticeable.
The results of buttock augmentation can be long-lasting, especially with the Brazilian Butt Lift technique using your body’s own fat. However, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle choices can affect the long-term outcome. Buttock implants can provide a more permanent solution.
While buttock augmentation is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks. These may include infection, bleeding, implant-related complications, poor wound healing, and the possibility of revision surgery. It’s important to discuss these risks with your surgeon during your consultation.
While there will be an immediate improvement in the appearance of the buttocks after surgery, it takes time for swelling to subside and the tissues to settle. Final results can be appreciated within a few months as the body heals and the swelling resolves.
When choosing a buttock augmentation surgeon, it is essential to seek a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience and expertise in performing buttock augmentation procedures. It is also beneficial to review before-and-after photos of their previous patients to assess their aesthetic skill and results.
