Buttock Augmentation
Not everyone is happy with their bum, some of us want bigger bums and others want tighter, pert little numbers.
For many of us who have tried and failed to get our desired posterior, there is hope. Improving buttocks volume and firmness is very popular especially in South America, but because bums are particularly reluctant to improve with exercise, cosmetically enhancing buttocks has become more popular.
Dr. Max Sawaf of Cosmesurge explains why people have buttock augmentation and what is involved in the procedure.
"For those people with stubborn persistently flat buttocks there is a way to achieve perfect shape and increase of volume." he told Women’s Health & Fitness.
"When done by experienced surgeons, and there are few of them except in South America where the procedure is popular, results are optimum, achieving long-term beauty, no visible scars and no stitches to be removed. On the other hand, micro fat grafting and lipo-injection are mostly recommended for those who already have a fairly considerable buttocks volume but need shaping and firming."
Buttock implants surgery lasts two hours and it is performed under general anesthesia or epidural and sedation depending upon patient's preferences and medical criteria.
Recovery period is comfortable but long; requiring one night in the hospital. However, for three weeks after the procedure, you should sleep on your tummy or side and can walk normally but should avoid sitting. It usually takes 20 to 30 days to get back to normal activities and strenuous activity should be avoided during the first month for proper healing.
1. Use of properly designed buttock implants:
There are two types of implants to be used for this procedure: solid and cohesive. First type is made out of very dense silicone type, which, by the way, we never use because of all the discomfort and poor natural appearance they offer. I recommend the cohesive ones, which is a lighter silicone type of gel, with a very natural adjusting capacity, yet very strong and resistant. It is important to say that cohesive silicone is totally safe for human body as it is approved by the FDA.
2. Correct choice of buttock implants size:
Choosing the correct buttock implant size to be used in buttocks augmentation surgery is a very important aspect to be considered. Not taking properly into account patient's body guidelines may result into dramatic mistakes. Going after a huge butt just for the sake of a particular fantasy may lead to unnecessary rejection of implants.
3. Using the correct surgical technique:
Buttock implants must be placed through the muscle where they look, act and feel natural. We have seen many problems from surgeons who do not have adequate training in this procedure, placing the implants just under the skin which cannot work long terms. Fat transfer is a good alternative with slightly less peredictable results but faster recovery and much less risks and financial cost.
