Buttock augmentation with implants is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and contour of the buttocks by inserting silicone implants.
During a buttock augmentation with implants, incisions are made strategically in the buttock crease. Silicone implants, selected based on size and shape preferences discussed with the surgeon, are then placed within or above the gluteal muscles to create fuller and shapelier buttocks.
The duration of a buttock implant procedure typically ranges from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity and desired outcome. Techniques involve the insertion of silicone implants specifically designed for the buttocks to achieve the desired projection and shape.
Following the procedure, patients may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the buttocks. A compression garment may be recommended to support the healing process and minimize swelling. Most individuals can resume light activities within a few weeks, gradually increasing activity levels. Strict adherence to post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments are essential for optimal healing and achieving desired buttock contouring.
