The buttock implant procedure helps those who would like to enhance the appearance, size and definition of the buttock area. It is a procedure suitable for both men and women who are self conscious about their flat buttock shape and despite rigorous exercises to improve the gluteal muscle remain unhappy with their buttocks.
This part of the body is not easily enlarged or shaped by weight training and after weight loss or due to the natural ageing process it can lose volume and shape. Having buttock implants can increase the buttock area to a desirable size and shape adding volume as well as those much wanted curves to the body. Buttock implants, much like breast implants, can vary in shape and size and can assist in providing a natural aesthetically proportionate figure that allows you to wear and feel confident in clothes of their choice.
The buttock augmentation procedure is performed under a general anaesthetic and takes between one and two hours to perform. An incision, usually about five centimetres, is made between the buttocks on the tailbone. Through this incision the buttock muscle, gluteus maximus, is lifted and a pocket is made which is large enough to place the implant. The implant is inserted into its pocket and the same procedure is carried out on the opposite side. The surgeon will carefully examine the area to ensure that the results look natural and even. The incision is then stitched back together, usually using dissolvable stitches, creating rounder and fuller buttocks.
This procedure will require an overnight stay in hospital. The area will be swollen for the first couple of weeks and compression garment will need to be worn to help this for two weeks day and night. Personal hygiene is extremely important for this procedure. As this area of the body is usually required for many movements it is important to ensure you have between seven to ten days to fully recover and heal. Sitting up for the first few weeks will usually be quite uncomfortable however you should be provided with suitable pain medication. Personal hygiene is extremely important for this procedure. Gentle exercise can gradually be introduced a few weeks after the procedure. Full exercise will have to wait up to six weeks. A series of follow up appointments will need to be made to ensure you are recovering well.
