Gluteoplasty (buttock augmentation)

Gluteoplasty (buttock surgery)

is an operation to improve the aesthetic proportions of the buttocks (enlargement, reduction, lifting, correction of shape and asymmetry). Round and toned buttocks have always been part of the standard ideas of beauty. Who doesn't want to wear stylish lingerie and tight clothing that exudes sexiness and attractiveness? You can achieve appetizing shapes after long and grueling workouts in the gym, a sports diet and daily work on yourself. But often even all the efforts made are not enough to achieve the desired result. In this case, there is reason to think about a surgical solution to the problem.

Surgery on the buttocks is often performed by patients who are dissatisfied with the proportions and shape of this part of the body due to:

• age-related changes (drooping gluteal fold, soft tissue ptosis);
• hereditary characteristics (too thin or lush buttocks);
• sudden weight loss;
• asymmetry of the buttocks;
• other congenital or acquired deformities.

Endoprosthetics (buttock augmentation with implants)

Buttock augmentation with implants allows not only to compensate for the deficiency of one’s own soft tissues, but also to recreate the desired, aesthetically attractive shape. Silicone implants for buttock augmentation vary in volume. Compared to breast augmentation prostheses, their shell is denser. The implants hold their shape perfectly and are biocompatible. At a consultation with a plastic surgeon, based on the anatomical features and wishes of the patient, the optimal model is selected and an operation plan is outlined. The implants are installed through an incision in the natural fold of skin between the buttocks under the sacrum. Within a few months they take root and the scar becomes invisible.

How is the operation performed?

The operation is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. The sites of future incisions are treated with antiseptics - an alcohol solution or Chlorhexidine.
2. A small incision is made in the gluteal fold, the vessels are coagulated and all areas of bleeding are eliminated.
3. An implant is inserted into the space under the major and minor muscles, and the shape of the buttocks is assessed.
4. The skin is stitched together. If self-absorbable material is used, the sutures will not be removed; if conventional suture material is used, they will be removed after 5-7 days.

Rehabilitation after gluteoplasty takes about a month.

The patient is dressed in special sterile clothing and transported on a gurney to the operating room. There he is placed on his stomach, connected to condition monitoring sensors and anesthesia is administered. As soon as the anesthesiologist reports that the patient is ready, the operation begins.

Lipofilling of the buttocks

A method of buttock augmentation and shape correction using a transplant of one’s own fat tissue transplanted from other areas (abdomen, thighs). Thus, an additional advantage of the technique is the ability to correct other figure flaws. if they are. Lipofilling of the buttocks allows not only to give the figure the desired fullness and roundness, but also to eliminate the asymmetry of the buttocks and improve the quality of the skin at the cellular level. When transplanted, your own fat cells take root safely and do not cause allergies. Buttock augmentation with lipofilling does not leave noticeable surgical scars on the body. The collection and injection of fat cells is carried out using a special cannula (diameter - 4-5 mm).

What problems can be solved with gluteoplasty?

An ideal butt is clearly defined contours of a round shape, an elastic surface of the skin and a full upper hemisphere, smoothly turning into the waist. Under the influence of age and genetics, the overall picture may differ from the ideal, and then aesthetic medicine comes to the rescue. Using different methods it is possible:

• lifting the thighs and buttocks (classical and ligature lifting);
• buttock augmentation (lipofilling, installation of implants);
• buttock reduction (liposuction, liposculpture, implant removal).

Many people are unhappy with the appearance of their butts and want to correct the situation. Indications for correction of the buttocks are the following conditions:

• tissue ptosis (drooping);
• naturally low in position;
• muscle atrophy and deformation as a result of injury;
• disproportion relative to the body;
• desire to enlarge the buttocks to obtain a bright aesthetic effect.

Buttock reduction

Getting rid of “fat traps” in the thighs is not always possible with the help of diets and exercise. An important role is played by a genetic predisposition to the accumulation of fatty deposits on the thighs. To reduce the volume of the buttocks and improve the proportions of the figure, liposuction is used. This operation is minimally traumatic, does not leave noticeable scars and allows you to get rid of excess fat deposits in a short time. Plastic surgeons at the Pirogov Clinic are fluent in the latest liposuction methods. For example, high-precision vibration liposuction allows you to effectively work with cellulite and eliminates the formation of unevenness and bumps on the skin.

Preparing for surgery

To prepare for gluteoplasty, you need to start by choosing a medical center and a surgeon who will transform your body. Despite the fact that reviews of buttock augmentation are generally positive, we are still talking about a serious surgical intervention. To eliminate risks, you need to choose a clinic with modern equipment, a proper attitude towards safety and qualified surgeons.

Preparation for surgery to augment the butt with fat, lift or endoprosthetics of the gluteal region begins in the office of a plastic surgeon. The first consultation is usually free. The doctor listens to your wishes, examines the tissue and suggests the best ways to solve the problem. Then a preoperative examination is prescribed. If the tests are satisfactory and there are no contraindications, a date for surgery is set.

Research before gluteoplasty:

• ECG;
• blood and urine tests;
• fluorography;
• coagulogram;
• testing for HIV and hepatitis.

The intervention is strictly contraindicated in patients with heart defects, diabetes mellitus, as well as severe forms of internal organ diseases and endocrine obesity.

Recovery after buttock surgery

Severe pain after buttock replacement surgery can persist for 3-4 weeks. During this period, plastic surgeons recommend wearing compression garments and avoiding strong pressure on the buttock area. You can return to sports and an active lifestyle 1.5 - 2 months after surgery.

Recovery after liposuction and lipofilling of the buttocks is faster - after 2 weeks the early recovery period ends. It is important to follow the individual recommendations of the plastic surgeon.

Prosthetic gluteoplasty

Prosthetic gluteoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the volume of the buttocks using silicone prostheses. Silicone prostheses come in different types and sizes, and therefore the surgeon takes measurements before the operation and selects the necessary implant.

Operation technique

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 1.5 hours.
Only one incision is made in the intergluteal fold, about 2.5 cm long. In the future, it will be practically invisible. Prostheses are installed under the gluteal muscle.

Rehabilitation

After such an operation, of course, there are certain restrictions. In particular, limiting physical activity, limiting visits to saunas and baths. You can only sleep and sit in a certain position.

Indications for surgical correction of the gluteal region

There is an opinion that gluteoplasty (buttock surgery) is a purely female plastic surgery. But that's not true. Men who want to correct the gluteal region also resort to the medical services of a plastic surgeon. If we talk about the main indications for correction of the buttocks, gluteoplasty is performed for:

• small volume of gluteal muscles;
• the need for a buttock lift;
• cellulite of the gluteal areas;
• deformations of soft tissues and skin on the buttocks due to injury or disease;
• flat buttocks;
• large buttocks.

Female and male gluteoplasty allows the plastic surgeon to give the buttocks a beautiful, rounded shape by tightening the gluteal muscles and installing silicone implants or endoprostheses.

The first aesthetic defects in the gluteal area can appear after 30 years, when the gluteal fold succumbs and the skin loses its elasticity and tone. The soft tissues of the buttocks begin to sag. In such situations, only plastic surgery of the buttocks (gluteoplasty) can help: you can study patient reviews about surgical correction of the gluteal area and photographs after aesthetic surgery on the website of plastic surgeon M.A. Aspen.

Buttock surgery using modern methods is an opportunity to gain self-confidence and attractiveness.

Types of buttock implants

For gluteoplasty, silicone implants are used, similar to implants for breast plastic surgery, but differing in increased thickness. The shell of such an implant is filled with viscous silicone gel from 140 to 480 ml, which does not leak out when damaged and has a “shape memory” effect. Modern materials used to make implants make it possible to create natural buttocks both in appearance and in feel. Depending on the desired shape, implants are used:

• round - to improve the roundness of the buttocks;
• oval or anatomical;
• teardrop-shaped - used to correct shapes disturbed due to injury

For buttock surgery, soft or textured implants are used; the latter fit better to the installed location without moving.

Operation procedure

Based on the examination of the patient, the plastic surgeon determines in advance whether the intervention will take place under spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia. The duration of the gluteoplasty procedure is approximately 3 hours. A small incision is made in the area of ​​the intergluteal fold, through which a sterile implant is installed, then sutures are applied. The cosmetic seam after the operation is almost invisible, so subsequently you can wear open swimsuits without embarrassment.
