Buttocks Fat Transplantation
Fat grafting uses excess fat from other areas of the body, which act as donor sites.
The donor sites include the abdomen, hips, back or thighs to add shape to the buttocks. The
fat cells are delicately removed with a gentle liposuction technique, and then inserted through
small incisions into different layers of the buttocks. This method is more natural than other alternatives.
Patients prefer the idea of using one’s own fat to add volume and shape to their rears. With fat transplantation,
there is no chance of the body rejecting the fat cells. But the cells are sensitive and require careful and meticulous
handling by an experienced buttocks augmentation surgeon. The fat must be placed strategically through tunnels in layers
for smooth and natural result.
Buttocks Implants
Who are the best candidates?
An area of the body not easily enlarged, shaped by weight training or diet is the buttocks region. Individuals that wish to enlarge,
lift, and shape the buttock mounds, have a variety of different size and shape buttock implants from which to choose. The decision
for the shape and size of the implants is made depending on each person’s individual desires and on their general
body build. Buttock implants are very soft, SOLID SILICONE implants and are completely unlike breast implants, which
are soft, FLUID-FILLED sacks. Generally, anyone in average physical condition or good health can be a candidate for
buttock implant (augmentation) surgery.
About the Procedure and Recovery Time
Placed into each buttock area through a single incision overlying the tailbone, butt implants are positioned to look as natural as
possible for the optimal cosmetic effect. Since this is an area of the body that is required for walking, sitting, and so many other movements,
patients might experience greater pain during the recovery period than other common cosmetic surgery procedures and the recovery time is usually longer.
Pain medications typically are prescribed to help with the discomfort, but after approximately 5-7 days the patient is able to be up and about; moving,
walking, and sitting more comfortably. There is generally very little swelling and bruising after buttock augmentation so the results may be seen very soon
after surgery. Full physical activities are usually permitted within a month after surgery.
What to expect
With the patient asleep (general anesthesia) a two to three inch incision is made between the buttocks in the midline.
Through this incision the buttock muscle (gluteus maximus) is lifted up and a pocket is made just large enough for the
implant. The implant is inserted into its pocket. The opposite side is then completed. Both sides are carefully examined
in order to assure that the results look natural and symmetric. Dissolvable stitches placed in the skin incision. A bandage
is placed that provides compression to the buttocks which in turn helps reduce discomfort and swelling. The patient may be uncomfortable the
first several days. It is difficult to turn in any position to get comfortable and it is important that someone be with the
person at least overnight and probably for the next several days just to help get out of bed, prepare meals, etc.
