| BUTTOCKS AUGMENTATION
The augmentation can be done with the patient’s own fatty tissue or using special prosthesis placed though small incisions located in the gluteal fold. Recovery takes 7 days during which the patient will be incapacitated. The procedure is done using general anesthesia. Results are permanent: a pleasant and natural image.
The technique of injecting fat into the buttock to cause augmentation is a new technique that offers natural and aesthetic results to patients that want to increase buttocks volume and are not interested in silicon implants. Fat injection has the advantage that allows the surgeon to place the necessary amount in the specific areas, facilitating the shaping of the buttocks.
On the other hand, fat injection does not have the possible inconvenience caused by rejection. That is why as days go by, this is the most used technique in buttocks augmentation. The procedure is simple and the recovery is painless, unlike buttocks augmentation using silicon implants.
The technique consist in aspirating fat from the patient’s body (heaps, waist, back) to inject it later in the buttocks area though 2 small incisions. This gives the buttocks a more natural image.
WHAT TYPE OF ANESTHESIA IS USED?
This technique is performed using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with intra venous sedation. This way, recovery will take less and the patient will be able to go home in no time.
ARE THERE ANY RISKS FOR THE FAT INJECTED TO BE REABSORBED?
The main risk is that near a 30% of the patients may reabsorb the injected fat, which could make a second procedure necessary. The absorption risks are reduced if growing factors are included in the procedure.
HOW DOES THE BUTTOCKS FEEL WHEN TOUCHED AFTER THIS PROCEDURE
Your buttocks will feel completely natural after 4 to 6 weeks, since their new shape was created using your own live adipose cells. Even you will not be able to fell the difference.
WOULD I NEED TO WEAR SOME KIND OF SPECIAL BANDAGE AFTER THE SURGERY?
You will wear a surgical belt for 2 to 3 weeks to keep buttock’s new shape. Forty eight ours after the surgery you will start lymphatic drainage massage and ultrasound sessions to reduce the inflammation, the hardness and to shorten recovery time.
WHEN CAN I STAR EXERCISING AGAIN?
Most of the patients can go back to their normal exercise routine gradually after 4 to 6 weeks.
