The rounded shape and high position – this is what the “Brazilian ass” is, which is considered the standard today. 

Kim Kardashian, the star of the TV show and wife of Kainey West, made this shape of the buttocks the most desirable and popular.

Modern methods of buttocks correction are able to recreate a beautiful shape according to the best Hollywood standards.

PURPOSE:  to eliminate congenital and acquired changes in the buttocks, increase aesthetic appeal

HOW IT WORKS: The  combination of silicone implants and auto fat allows you to get the most natural look of a woman’s butt

METHOD:  installation of a silicone implant with a single-stage injection of autologous fat

ANESTHESIA:  combined (intravenous – endotracheal)

Silicone implants placed in the buttocks can shape, contour and enlarge the buttocks. They are similar to the silicone implants used in breast augmentation, but silicone is more durable (since you will be sitting on them).

The procedure for Fat transfer to hips can be combined with “Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL)” or lipomodelling of the buttocks, which involves taking fat by liposuction from another area and transferring it to the buttocks and thighs (also called lipofilling, fat transplant, transfer fat or fat injection). A silicone implant placed in the intermuscular space gives the buttocks the correct rounded appearance, while lipofilling adds softness around the implant for more natural results. Liposuction also shrinks your waist, abdomen and sides, giving you an hourglass shape

 Keep in mind that lipofilling of the buttocks can be very risky, which is why implants themselves are considered a safer alternative.

Gluteoplasty is performed for:

• elimination of congenital or acquired changes in the gluteal region
• improving aesthetic appeal

What happens during gluteal implant surgery?

This surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so you will be completely asleep. I will make an incision directly along the gluteal fold (so that there are no visible scars), then I will form a space (pocket) in the thickness of the gluteus muscle, into which the implant is installed.

Most surgeons are in favor of the intramuscular implantation technique. Buttock implants really need to be placed in the gluteus muscles, if they are placed on top, there is a risk of complications such as unnatural contour and visibility, sagging over time, implant overturning and thinning layers of fat and skin. There is also a higher incidence of capsular contracture, a capsule of hardened scar tissue around the implant that can be painful or visually altering the contour of the buttocks.

Once the implants are in place, I suture all layers of the wound and apply a cosmetic suture. I can decide to place thin surgical drainage tubes to reduce the accumulation of fluid during healing, as well as to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling.

You will stay at the clinic for 1-2 days after the operation.

Smoking can increase the likelihood of complications during surgery and slow down the healing process during rehabilitation, so I can ask you to stop smoking at least two weeks before and for three weeks after your procedure.

What are the pros and cons of butt implants?

Pros:

• Implants can create a more rounded contour of the buttocks with a large projection.
• This is an option for people who do not have enough excess fat for buttock lipomodelling or want a less risky procedure.
• The volume created by the implants is constant, while up to 40% of the fat carried during the lipomodelling procedure may not survive for several months.
• There is no need to worry about rupture because the silicone in the gluteal implants is semi-solid and not in the form of a gel.

Minuses:

• You will need two weeks to recover from surgery – although this is faster than the three to four weeks you would spend recovering from buttock liposuction.
• If you have significant changes in body weight and you experience drooping of the buttocks, you may need a traditional buttock lift or a buttock lift in addition to implants.
• Buttock implants may not look as natural as lipomodelling of the buttocks, especially if the wrong shape or size of the implant is chosen or the implant is not positioned correctly.
• Risks include suture dehiscence, infection, gray (fluid buildup), capsular contracture from scar tissue, and pain that lasts longer than the typical two-week recovery period.

Who is a good candidate for gluteal implants (gluteoplasty)?

Buttock augmentation may not be the right choice for everyone. Good candidates are healthy, nonsmoking adults who don’t have too loose skin (or who want to combine implant surgery with a buttock lift).

When making your decision, keep in mind that you will need two weeks without work and limited physical activity during the rehabilitation period.
