Gluteoplasty enhances the appearance of the gluteal area.
A Gluteoplasty or Buttock Lift or Buttock Augmentation is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of your buttocks by removing excess and sagging skin from buttocks and thighs. Buttock Lift is required primarily due to excess weight loss, ageing, gravity, or genetics. A Gluteoplasty tightens the buttocks by removing dimples or wrinkles.
The procedure includes insertion of silicone gel-filled butt implants either in or under the gluteal muscle. Where the implant remains hidden but it gives the wanted shape and form from the outside. This procedure is for people with “flat” and/or sagging buttocks which causes dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of the buttocks. Gluteal Augmentation leads to a greater satisfaction when choosing pants or swimwear. The access incision or incisions are placed in a crease between the two glutei, which makes them maximally hidden and invisible.
Buttock Augmentation can be performed under general or tumescent anesthesia with sedation. The surgery lasts 1-2h. The post surgical recovery lasts 3 weeks during which you should wear an appropriate girdle. However, during that time you can continue with your everyday activities given that they comply with the given post surgical instructions.
