Buttocks Augmentation

BUTTOCKS AUGMENTATION

Buttock implants, also known as gluteal augmentation, gluteal implants or gluteoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to add fullness and projection to the under projected or flat buttock(s) area.

The definition and contour of the buttocks is due to the size and shape of the surrounding tissues. Frequently, liposculpture of any combination of the hips, waist, low back and upper thighs is done simultaneously with buttock implants to enhance the shape and contour of the buttocks.

An ideal candidate for buttock implants (gluteoplasty) is a man or woman dissatisfied with the under projection or flat appearance of their buttocks who is free of any complicating, pre-existing medical conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, skin/connective tissue disorders, etc.

GLUTEOPLASTY SURGERY

This procedure involves inserting a soft, high grade, solid silicone, implant into the muscular space of the buttock(s) area. These implants can be round or oval or other variety of sizes. A consultation and physical examination is needed to determine the appropriate size and shape for each individual.

The butt implant procedure is performed in our state-of-the-art outpatient facility in Miami under general anesthesia. This surgical procedure takes approximately one and one-half to two hours to perform. Liposculpture and/or lifting procedures can add an additional one to three hours of surgical time.

A 5cm to 7 cm incision is made vertically at the midline between the upper aspects of the buttocks. A “pocket” or space is created under each gluteal muscle of the buttocks corresponding to the plan outlined on the skin. The implants are then inserted. The incision is closed with sutures below the level of the skin to avoid cross hatching and suture marks.
