Am I a good candidate for Butt Augmentation surgery?
If you lack buttock definition and would like to have a curvaceous bottom that is in proportion to the rest of your body, but you feel that currently your bottom is shapeless or flat, you represent an ideal candidate for buttock implants.
However, please keep in mind that cosmetic surgery is designed for improvement, not perfection. Patients should have realistic goals and expectations for their buttock augmentation.
How is the Buttock Implants Surgery Performed?
Silicon Implants: Buttock implants are usually performed under general anesthesia and usually require about 2-3 hours. You would be discharged either on the same day or an overnight stay in the hospital is required/.
Once the patient is sedated, the doctor begins by creating incisions of about 2 or 3 inches. These can be made where the cheek meets the back of the thigh, or down the buttock crease. The latter is the more common place for an incision, since scars are not noticeable.
Working through the incision, the doctor creates a pocket large enough to place the implant and inserts it either under the gluteus maximus muscle, or on top of it. The implants are placed above the sitting area of your buttocks, preventing you from sitting on them and reduce the possibility of the implants shifting.
The same is done for the other cheek. The doctor carefully examines both sides to make sure they are symmetrical and natural. Stitches are used to close up the incision.
You might experience some pain and discomfort. Bruising may also occur. The doctor may prescribe medication to ease the pain. You will not be able to lie on your backs for about two weeks after surgery. You should also use a soft cushion whenever sitting down.
Swelling and discomfort in the buttock area will resolve within a few days. After 1 week you will be able to walk around normally and sit in relative comfort.
You would be advised to take 2 weeks’ holiday off work and that you avoid strenuous exercise for at least 6 weeks.We don’t offer specific packages that combine buttock implants with other types of procedures, but you may be interested in the buttock lift procedure in conjunction with buttock implants.
Likewise, you might also be interested working towards an end goal of toned legs and bottom, in which case you may like to explore the inner thigh lift procedure, cellulite treatment and liposuction to create a slimmer leg shape, and hair removal and IPL (intense pulsed light) to improve skin smoothness, texture and tone.
