What is buttock implants surgery?

A surgical treatment called "buttock augmentation with implants" allows the buttocks to be reshaped and given back some of their volume and firmness. To make sure the implants stay in place and are not felt or seen, they are inserted into the gluteus maximus muscle.

In addition to improving one's self-esteem, augmented buttocks can assist restore a symmetrical body frame that may have been affected by fast loss of weight, aging, and a variety of other natural variables. The implants are available in various sizes and profiles, allowing everyone to discover the ideal fit for a more youthful and well-proportioned appearance. 

Pros and cons of Buttock implants

+ Pros

  • Boosted self-confidence and a more balanced body shape.

  • Benefits that are seen immediately and last long after the augmentation.

  • The very little incisions done in the intergluteal cleft, which vertically divides the buttocks, result in almost undetectable scarring that eventually disappears.

- Cons
  • Prolonged recovery following surgery as a result of a quite large object being inserted into a very delicate area of the glutes.
  • Walking involves the lower limb being moved at the hip joint by the gluteal muscles. Consequently, discomfort and/or restricted limb movement throughout the healing process may result from any type of surgical intervention in this region.
  • Due to its complex vascularization, the gluteal region has a higher risk of infection and rejection.

Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Buttock implants

Excess fat from the hips, thighs, belly, or other portions of your body is removed and injected into the gluteal area during a Brazilian butt lift surgery, which helps to improve the size and form of your buttocks. The use of the body's own tissue in place of artificial implants, however, might not always result in a better result. First of all, because implants do not change in size or shape over time, augmentation using implants ensures a more dependable and long-lasting result. Only 40–50% of the fat cells that are transplanted during a Brazilian butt lift survive, which may significantly alter the symmetry, volume, and/or structure of the enlarged buttocks. Moreover, if the syringe damages the blood arteries in the buttocks, fat injections into the soft tissue may result in a dangerous condition called fat embolism. 

Best results when these methods are combined.
Since body fat can be injected into the gluteal region at various depths and locations and implants can only be implanted in the central region of the buttocks, it has been established that combining these techniques will result in a bigger, rounder bottom.

Can other surgeries be combined with buttock implants?

For even rounder buttocks and an hourglass figure that looks natural, buttock augmentation might be combined with liposuction and/or body fat transfer. An experienced plastic surgeon should assess an individual's anatomical and physiological features to determine whether these operations could be combined. Individuals who have minimal or no fat deposits in their thighs or abdomen might only benefit from the implants alone because sufficient fat tissue needs to be present in order for the fat to be transferred. It is important to remember that buttock augmentation is not typically done in conjunction with excess skin and fat removal from the abdomen, commonly known as a "tummy tuck," because there is a greater chance of serious complications.

Who is a suitable candidate for a buttock implants surgery?

  • For those who have naturally flat buttocks, buttock augmentation with implants is highly advised in order to achieve a more proportionate body structure.
  • A person with naturally uneven buttocks and/or muscle atrophy will benefit most from the augmentation.
  • A consistent marker for considering buttock augmentation is the absence or substantial decline of the gluteal fold, which is the crease that appears between the thighs and the buttocks.
  • Finally, but just as importantly, a good candidate for buttock augmentation should be in good health and have reasonable expectations for the outcome of the procedure.

Recovery

It's crucial to keep in mind that buttock augmentation recovery requires both patience and time for optimal results, making the treatment itself just as significant as the recovery.

  • A full recovery can take two to three weeks. It is strongly advised to avoid any postures that might put pressure on the gluteal muscles during that period, such as bending over or lying on the back. It is extremely recommended against sitting on the area of surgery since the incision sites may begin to open and the implants may move from their original location.
  • Due to a localised inflammatory reaction following surgery, bruises and swelling in the gluteal region may appear for as long as five to six weeks. You should see a doctor if it continues.
  • Rarely, an abnormal accumulation of blood known as a hematoma or an infection of the site may occur. It needs to be reported to the surgeon as soon as possible to prevent potential injury to skin and tissue.
  •  

After buttock implants surgery

The following matters need to be attended to for a seamless recovery once the buttocks have been enhanced:

  • Following surgery, the incision sites must be kept dry and clean. Patients are encouraged to continue with their personal hygiene regimen or modify it in accordance with the advice of their physician in the future.
  • For the comfort of the patient, loose-fitting clothing is recommended because it is simpler to put on and take off.
  • During the first two weeks following surgery, pain in the gluteal region is completely normal. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications that the operating surgeon directly prescribes should be used to treat it.
  • After surgery, patients are highly advised not to use tobacco products or drink alcohol since these behaviours may cause unwanted side effects and/or difficulties. This is especially true if they are on any form of prescribed medication.

What are the possible risks of buttock augmentation?

Since buttock augmentation was initially made available to the general public, safety concerns around buttock implants have been a hot topic of conversation. It is now evident that the right response is far more nuanced than it first seems. Medically speaking, when an implant or other foreign object is inserted into the body, the immune system may identify it as a threat that needs to be eliminated since it is alien. This could trigger an immunological reaction, which would then result in typical clinical symptoms as fever, edema, etc. On the other hand, it should be noted that implant rejection is more of the exception rather than the rule. All things considered, buttock augmentation with implants is rather safe; nonetheless, additional precautions should be taken to avoid complications, infection, and/or harm to the body's vital parts.
