Buttock Augmentation with Implants (Gluteoplasty)
Buttock augmentation with implants, called gluteoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that uses silicone implants to increase the volume and shape of the buttocks. It corrects flat, asymmetrical, or underdeveloped buttocks despite exercise or weight gain, making it ideal for those with little fat for lipofilling.
Goals
- Significantly increase buttock volume
- Redesign a harmonious and feminine curve
- Achieve rounded, firm, and projected buttocks
- Improve the overall silhouette, especially in profile
Indications
- Flat, sagging, or naturally underdeveloped buttocks
- Insufficient fat for lipofilling
- Aesthetic dissatisfaction despite healthy lifestyle
- Desire for lasting and visible change
Types of Implants
- Cohesive silicone gel, resistant to pressure and movement
- Round: volumizing and lifted effect
- Anatomical: natural teardrop result
Procedure Details
- General anesthesia
- Duration: 2 to 3 hours
- Intramuscular insertion into the gluteus maximus for stability and naturalness
- Discreet incision in the intergluteal fold
- Sometimes associated with liposuction of the hips/lower back
Post-operative recovery
- Wearing compression pantyhose for 4 to 6 weeks
- Return to work after 2 to 3 weeks depending on activity
- Resuming sports from the 6th week
- Final result after 3 to 6 months
Results
- Improved curve, stable and lasting volume
- More defined, feminine and harmonious buttock contour
Advantages
- Stable and predictable result, no resorption
- Large volume possible even in very thin patients
