Buttock Augmentation Procedure
This surgical procedure also called gluteoplasty or buttock augmentation. It is design to reshape the size of your buttocks and create more firm and aesthetic appearance. The buttock area is not easily changed by weight reduction or exercise, therefore you may consider this operation to improve the look of your buttock. In general every person who wishes to undergo the operation and is in a good physical condition can do so.
Buttock augmentation is achieved using fat. The idea is to remove fat from your one body part and inject in into your buttocks. The big advantage of this technique is the fact that there is no rejection since the tissue used is taken from your one body. In addition this method can make your buttock look very natural. The fat is usually taken from areas of the body, which have extra fat, like the flank area, the thigh and the upper and lower buttock. The extra fat, which is removed from the above areas, can further reshape the buttock making it look like you've been through a butt lift. After the fat is removed is undergoes some special processing and then injected to your buttocks using a special cannula, which has a very small diameter therefore leaves minimal scars. The big challenge of the fat grafting is to cause the graft to survive in the new place, this can be achieved by injecting small amount of fat each time into different layers, above and below the butt muscles. This way better blood supply is accomplished and irregularities of the surface is minimized. The graft survival is unpredictable, some of the fat is absorbed causing you to loose the augmentation effect. It is generally believed that what's left after 3 month usually stays forever. After the procedure the buttock area usually don't heart, the pain is generally from the incisions make in the donor area. Those incisions are also very small, the same ones used for liposuction.
Every procedure has its risks, the risks for this one is minimal. The main risk of the procedure is fat absorption, occurring in approximately one-third of the patients. Bleeding, infection and scarring are rare.
You'll be able to go back to work after 3-5 days, but you'll have to wear special garment for 3-4 weeks. It may take up to one month until you feel normal, some swelling may appear, which will usually disappear after a couple of month.
