Buttock Augmentation
Who is a Candidate for Buttock Augmentation? Both men and women can be dissatisfied with the shape and projection of their buttocks. For some this has been a life long concern, for others buttock deflation or drooping occurs after weight loss or pregnancy. Buttock augmentation is for those individuals who are otherwise healthy and looking to improve the overall contour of their buttocks and are willing to accept the resulting surgical scar.
Planned Results: An improvement in the contour and a lift of the buttocks.
Procedure Description: Buttock augmentation is completed under general anesthetic, you will require an adult to drive you home and stay the night with you. Private nursing can be arranged through U Cosmetic for an additional fee.
Buttock augmentation can be achieved by either microfat grafting (see section above) or through buttock implants. Buttocks implants are made of silicone similar to breast implants but are more firm. They can be placed through a number of possible incisions and this will be discussed with you during your consultation. The size and shape of the implant will also be determined during your consultation. The incisions will be closed with nondissolving stitches. And a small dressing will be placed.
Recuperation and Healing: You will have some swelling, bruising and discomfort. You will be sent home with prescription medications to keep you comfortable. You will be encouraged to return to your usual daily activities as soon as possible. Prolonged bed rest can lead to serious complications. You should avoid any activity that increases your blood pressure for 48 hours and avoid lower body workouts for 4 weeks. You will be required to wear a special support garment following the surgery for 4 weeks and this will be provided by U Cosmetic. You will find it painful to sit down for a few weeks after the surgery and are encourage to lie or stand and avoid sitting.
Notes: Infection of the implants is a serious complication and can be caused by contamination of the incision due to the many bacteria that live in the buttock region. You will be sent home with antibiotics and it is very important you take the pills as directed and finish the complete course. Care of the incisions is also extremely important. You will be provided with details of wound care on discharge home. Cleanliness and personal hygiene around emptying your bowels and bladder is extremely important. All possible complications will be discussed at your consultation.
