South Africa Buttock Implants - The Plastic Surgery Procedure
This surgical procedure also called gluteoplasty or buttock augmentation. It is designed 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 wishing to undergo the operation, and is in a good physical condition, can do so.
During the operation the surgeon inserts silicon implants into your gluteal area. Unlike breast implants, these are soft and solid, their shape and size vary, according to individual body form and desires.
South Africa Buttock Implants - The Implants
There are few kinds of implants: round or oval (also called an anatomic implant). The most common implants are those made of silicon. It comes with a smooth or textured surface and they are solid (meaning: they rarely spill or rupture). The selection of an implant is usually made according to the surgeon's advice and your preference.
South Africa Buttock Implants - Insertion Locations
The incision for the implant insertion can be made in several locations: two excisions, either on the superior buttocks or inferior buttock near the posterior thigh. Both incisions leave a quite visible scar. One excision is made in the sacrum area, it goes from top down, and is usually small (4-6cm). The only problem is that such incision tends to become infected more often; this can be treated with antibiotics. The implant can be placed above or below the gluteal muscles. Finally, a liposuction can be added to this procedure to further shape your buttocks.
This procedure is preformed under general anesthesia and usually lasts one hour, liposuction may require an additional half hour (consult local South Africa surgeon).
South Africa Buttock Implants - Risks
Every procedure has its risks: this one includes bleeding, infection, nerve and/or muscle damage and damage to the implants, such as silicon spillage and buttock asymmetry.
South Africa Buttock Implants - After Surgery
After surgery you will feel pain and discomfort, and you will be prescribed with painkillers. You also have to wear a special bandage for 2-3 weeks to help your buttocks gain their new look. Occasionally you may feel either temperature changes or numbness in the area. This will resolve after a few months. It may take about 3 months for the swelling to resolve and the buttocks to regain their final appearance. You'll be able to go back to full activity after one month. Since the implants are placed far from the bony area you will have no trouble sitting. Finally, the implants will give your butt the look like you have been working out for years.

Plastic Surgery News...
- Despite their strong impact on the marketplace, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the how superstitious beliefs impact decision making. A groundbreaking new study from the April issue of the Journal of Consumer Research examines the role of lucky and unlucky features and finds that consumers are more disappointed when a product that is supposedly "lucky" breaks.
- The Department of Health’s (DoH) response to the Public Accounts Committee's report on 'Prescribing costs in primary care' has been published.
In the publication, the DoH notes that around a quarter of all expenditure in primary care is on drugs, and both the volume of drugs prescribed and their total cost are increasing. The DoH states that the NHS could save more than £200 million a year, without affecting patient care, by GPs prescribing lower cost but equally effective medicines, and that generic products should be used instead of branded equivalents (however, this is based on data which is over 2 years old).
In response to the PAC finding that prescription costs for treatment of some common conditions varies between PCTs, the DoH agrees that Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs) should work with the National Prescribing Centre to spread best practice in prescribing and help those PCTs that have difficulty implementing switching programmes to learn from PCTs that have successfully done so.
In response to the differences in prescribing choices between primary and secondary care, the DoH agrees that SHAs should work with the National Prescribing Centre to promote agreement and consistency of formularies across primary and secondary care, and across PCTs.
