Buttock plastics: its main methods, indications and contraindications
Tight, rounded buttocks have long been a sign of attractive women. In most cases, the aging process or a large weight loss contribute to sagging of the skin of the buttocks, which is why a woman (and sometimes a man) can experience an inferiority complex.
Fortunately, sagging, flat or, on the contrary, too full buttocks can be corrected with the help of surgical intervention - gluteoplasty (otherwise - buttocks plasty).
Gluteoplasty is aimed at creating a better (rounded) shape of the buttocks, removing excess skin and fatty tissue, which is located in the gluteal folds in the back and midline of the thigh. The plastic surgery of the buttocks in women surgeons do almost as often as the plastic of the bridle of the foreskin in men. This is an old, well-studied procedure, with a small number of contraindications and negative reviews.
Types of methods
There are two methods of plastics of the buttocks. They are usually performed in one day, under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
Lipostructure (or lipolifting) and Brazilian buttock lift. In this procedure, the patient's own (or patient's) fat is used to fill in any dents on the bottom and to give a beautiful amount to the buttocks. Brazilian buttock lift is a modern type of lipostructure that makes the buttocks fuller. Fat for her is collected by means of liposuction from the abdomen, thighs, and thighs, and then the living fat cells are cleaned and injected into the buttocks. The price of such services in clinics of the Russian Federation varies from 150 thousand rubles and above.
Usually, the procedure for fatty correction of the buttocks is combined with liposuction. This is the removal of adipose tissue with a special cannula and vacuum suction. With its help, the surgeon can remove excess fat in the problem area and achieve a more harmonious result.
Prostheses - implants. If the buttocks become loose or they are too small, they can be made rounder and firmer with the gluteal prostheses-implants. Cost - from 70 thousand rubles.
Install the implants in one of the following ways:
- "Butterfly mode". Sometimes female buttocks begin to sag down or look asymmetrical. The shape and position of the gluteal folds can be corrected using a medial (median incision). This is the so-called “butterfly mode”, named for the type of cuts that resemble butterfly wings.
- "The way of Pascal." When sagging in the area of the greater trochanter, the surgeon makes an incision on the side or top of the buttocks. The scar usually passes below the bikini line or can be hidden by tattooing in the sacral area, which is becoming more common today.
Indications for
Buttock plastics are shown to physically healthy women who have realistic expectations from the surgery and are concerned about too large or too small buttocks, dissatisfied with the roundness of their buttocks or their asymmetry.
Contraindications
Buttock plasty is contraindicated in patients suffering from problems with blood clotting, diabetes or any infectious disease, having poor quality of the skin around the problem area, as well as pregnant women.
Plastic buttocks: reviews procedure and rehabilitation
Buttock plastics can be performed either using implants or by transferring existing fat to the buttock area. Sometimes the surgeon decides to combine both of these methods.
A suitable method for gluteoplasty will be determined based on:
- The size and shape of the buttocks.
- The amount of fat available for use through liposuction.
- The goals and level of physical activity of the patient.
- The condition of the patient's skin, as well as the amount of excess skin in the area of the buttocks.
When making a decision about the plastic of the buttocks, reviews of previous patients play an important role. Therefore, it is worthwhile for a woman to look in advance on the Internet for photos before and after the operation with the use of implants and with a lipostructure, and also to look for reviews of plastic surgery clinics and the doctors who work for them.
Step-by-step procedure for implants:
- Step 1 - incision for subsequent placement of the implant. It can be made at the center of the sacrum, or at the base of both gluteal folds (the place where the buttocks meet the upper thighs), as well as on both sides of the buttocks, closer to their top.
- Step 2 - implantation. A silicone implant of round, oval or teardrop shape is inserted either into the muscle or above the gluteus maximus on each buttock. The method of installation and positioning of implants depends on the type of implant, the degree of desired increase in the buttocks and the proportions of the patient's body.
- Step 3 - closing the cuts. Cuts are sewn with layered seams in the tissues of the buttocks, while self-absorbable sutures are used.
- Step 4 - view the results. The primary results of the gluteus enlargement with implants are immediately visible. Over time, postoperative edema will resolve and the lines from the incisions will disappear. The results of this operation are permanent, that is, saved for life.
Step-by-step lipofilling procedure:
- Step 1 - liposuction, which is carried out through small and almost imperceptible cuts. Thin hollow tubes (cannulas) are inserted into the incisions through which excess fat is sucked away (using a surgical vacuum or a syringe attached to the cannula). The surgeon can deflate from the buttocks three times more fat than later “pump” in them.
- Step 2 - small fat injections over the entire surface of the priests.
- Step 3 - view the results. The primary results of the gluteus increase are immediately visible. However, the final results will be visible six months or a year after the operation. This procedure offers a natural appearance of the buttocks without feeling foreign body in them, however, fat deposits in the buttocks may decrease over time. On average, patients retain
60-80% of the fat injected into the buttocks. As weight increases or decreases, lipofilling results may change.
Rehabilitation after
When discussing the operative and postoperative period, a woman should definitely discuss with the surgeon the question of what inconvenience plastic buttocks entail.
Reviews of women who have decided on this operation show that rehabilitation will be quite painful and lengthy.
And this should be mentally prepared.
The patient may be allowed to return home several hours after gluteoplasty.
The doctor will instruct her on the need to wear special support clothing for
The final results are noticeable three months after surgery.
During the recovery period after plasty, the buttocks will have to be avoided to sit on a “soft spot” for two weeks (sometimes more). This is very important because prolonged sitting can damage fat injected into the buttocks. A woman will have to sleep face down or on her side.
And in a sitting position, you will need to use a pillow or roller located behind the legs (hamstring muscles) to help lift the buttocks, avoiding pressure on fat grafts. The surgeon may recommend a lymphatic massage to the patient. You can return to normal activities and sports after
Possible complications
The majority of patients are interested in the surgeon possible complications in the plastic buttocks. Reviews of women who have done gluteoplasty indicate relatively rare side effects of the operation. However, no doctor can give a guarantee that they will not.
Risks of increasing buttocks with implants include: infectious diseases, bleeding, scarring of tissues, nerve damage, and implant rupture.
Also in the operated area, fluid accumulation may begin, which leads to pressure on the sciatic nerve.
An increase in the buttocks with lipolifting includes: blood loss, the formation of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications, pain in the operated area and fat in the blood, followed by pneumonia. After surgery, fatty necrosis may begin - the death of fatty tissue deep in the skin.
Reviews Virtually all patients are concerned about the question of whether the plastic buttocks will be successful. Reviews that can be found in various medical forums suggest that in most cases gluteoplasty gives excellent results.
The rehabilitation period will be painful and it will be impossible to sleep on the back
When lipofilling will have to give up alcohol, visits to the sauna and intensive sports, otherwise the fat will be excreted from the body and the result of the operation will gradually disappear.
