If you want a fuller, more balanced shape that suits your frame, this is how your surgeon helps you look in the mirror with a little more ease and confidence.
Buttock augmentation with implants places a soft implant in the buttock area to add fullness. It suits some people and is not right for others. Your surgeon will examine you and assess you in person before giving any advice.
Everything begins with an examination and consultation with a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, who is the same person who will operate on you. Your surgeon assesses your build, the shape of your buttocks and pelvis, any sagging, the condition of your skin, and your muscle structure. This is also when you describe what you want, so that together you can choose the type and size of implant that suits your build.
Before surgery, you have routine tests and are examined by an anesthesiologist. You need to stop any medicines containing aspirin for 10 days before surgery and fast for 6 hours beforehand. The buttock implant has a silicone shell filled with highly cohesive silicone gel. It comes in a round or oval shape, and your surgeon chooses based on the shape of your buttocks. The implant volume used is usually around 250 to 300 ml.
During the operation you are usually under general anesthesia, which means you sleep and feel nothing for the whole procedure. In a small number of cases, your surgeon may use local anesthesia combined with sedation. The surgery usually takes around 1 to 2 hours.
Through a small vertical incision in the cleft between the buttocks, your surgeon places the implant into a pocket between the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles, in the upper half of the buttock. This pocket is dissected precisely to fit the implant, so it does not shift. When needed, your surgeon can use endoscopic assistance for more precise dissection and bleeding control.
This surgery adds fullness to the buttock area with an implant. There are things it can do, and things that fall outside what it can do. Being clear about this from the start helps you decide with more peace of mind.
Recovery happens in stages, and the timeline below is an estimate. Everyone's body is different. Your surgeon will give you specific guidance for your situation.
Like any surgery, large or small, buttock augmentation always carries certain risks. You should understand these clearly before you decide, in addition to the risks that come with anesthesia.
At The Gioi Dep, buttock augmentation is performed by a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, at a hospital licensed for cosmetic surgery. The same surgeon examines you, advises you, and operates on you, so the person who understands your case is also the one holding the scalpel.
Before surgery, you have routine tests and a separate examination by an anesthesiologist. When needed, your surgeon can use endoscopic assistance for more precise dissection and bleeding control, and the implant pocket is made to fit the implant to limit shifting. You are monitored, and your incision is cared for on schedule during the first days.
During the operation you are under general anesthesia, so you feel nothing. Afterward you will have some pain, and you are given pain medicine and antibiotics for about 5 to 7 days to help.
Your surgeon makes a small vertical incision in the cleft between the buttocks, so it sits in a fairly hidden spot. Every incision leaves a scar, and the way a scar heals differs from person to person.
You usually stay in the hospital for about 1 to 2 days and can sit up and walk after about 48 hours. Sports that work the gluteal muscles are advised to be paused for roughly the first three months.
The buttock implant has a silicone shell filled with highly cohesive silicone gel, which holds its shape even if it is cut in half. The implant is soft but more durable and able to withstand more pressure than a breast implant. As with any medical material, it still carries risks such as capsular contracture or shifting out of position.
You describe what you want, and your surgeon will advise on a size that suits your build. The implant volume used is usually around 250 to 300 ml. Your surgeon does not promise a fixed number, but aims for balance with your body.
The implant is placed in the upper half of the buttock, in the pocket between the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles, and the type of implant, round or oval, is chosen to match the shape of your buttocks and harmonize with your build. Results differ from person to person, so the consultation is the time to talk through what you can expect.
You can still become pregnant after buttock augmentation. Even so, pregnancy is advised to wait until about a year after surgery.
You are examined and advised by the same surgeon who will operate on you, have routine tests, and are examined by an anesthesiologist. You need to stop any medicines containing aspirin for 10 days before surgery and fast for 6 hours beforehand.
