Buttock augmentation surgical procedure is designed to reshape and enhance the overall structure of your buttocks. Since buttocks respond poorly to workouts or diet methods, should you desire to get perfectly shaped buttocks, your only open options are to look into cosmetic buttock augmentation surgery.

Buttock Augmentation Procedure

After putting you to comfortable sleep by administering suitable oral or intravenous anesthesia, your cosmetic buttock surgeon will make an incision measuring 2 to 3 inches in the space of the midline between your buttocks. After moving the exposed gluteus maximus or buttock muscle aside through the incision, a small pocket, large enough just for placement of the implant, will be created in one of your buttocks. Your cosmetic buttock augmentation surgeon will then insert the implant into its place. He will then similarly proceed to do the same with your other buttock.

He will carefully examine both sides to ensure that results appear symmetric and natural. He will then close the incision by using dissolvable stitches. The wound will be dressed in a special bandage that will also provide sufficient compression to your buttocks as well as help to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Upon completion of the procedure, which may last up to two hours, you can leave the facility after an hour’s rest under your cosmetic buttock augmentation surgeon’s close observation.

Buttock Augmentation Recovery

You will generally experience a certain degree of discomfort for a few days after your surgical procedure. You will also experience difficulty in turning from one position to another for more comfort. It is hence advisable to have someone close to you, at least for the first night, and if convenient, possibly for the next few days to assist you in getting out of your bed, use the bathroom, prepare meals, and other minor household activities.

Usually, taped bandage dressings will come off in about three days and you can gradually start taking up light routine activities. However, your final results and full recovery will take several more months.

Good Candidate for Buttock Augmentation

Good health and your doctor’s recommendations will generally make you a suitable candidate for cosmetic buttock augmentation surgical procedures. However, your underlying medical condition, including syndromes like blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, and diabetes, may adversely affect your suitability. You must also have reasonable expectations regarding the final outcome from your cosmetic buttock augmentation surgical procedure.

Complications and Risks

All surgical procedures carry certain risks and chances of possible complications or side effects. Common risks that are generally associated with buttock augmentation cosmetic surgeries usually include minor scarring, infection and bleeding. Though, usually less frequent, these events can not be entirely ruled out. Other probable complications may equally include sensation loss in the region of your buttocks, or capsular contracture, which refers to a specific condition which occurs if connective tissue fibrosis should form around your implants, causing restricted movement, visible tentative implant edges, or certain hardness. Capsular contracture is an extremely rare occurrence, but in some severe cases, when it is impossible to break the capsule fiber externally, it may result in replacement and/or removal of the inserted implants.
