How much does it cost to enlarge your butt using different methods?

Hello, hello my dears! I am with you again, your Alice. The problem of a flabby butt struck me and I decided to look into this issue thoroughly. To do this, I had to run around to clinics and talk to plastic surgeons. Today I will tell you about buttock augmentation with hyaluronic acid and other plastic methods.

In addition, I was lucky to meet women in clinics who had already had their butts corrected in various ways, and to ask them about their impressions. In a word, I hasten to share information with you, and in the end I’ll tell you about the reviews.

Who needs gluteoplasty of the buttocks?

The operation pursues an exclusively aesthetic purpose, and the main indication for its implementation is the patient’s desire to remodel the buttock area and get rid of existing congenital or acquired imperfections. To perform high-quality gluteoplasty of the buttocks in Moscow, you should contact the high-tech medical clinic “OLIMP CLINIC”, which practices all types of procedures in the field of plastic surgery.

Buttock surgery successfully corrects a number of aesthetic defects:

• low buttock profile, lack of lateral volume;
• significant lack of frontal volume, or narrow hips;
• insufficient volume of the upper buttocks;
• disproportion of the gluteal muscles;
• loss of aesthetic appearance as a result of weight loss;
• age-related imperfections of the gluteal muscles and skin;
• sagging skin and low level of elasticity.

The use of implants shows excellent results for any aesthetic problems with lack of volume. In cases of age-related changes and sagging skin, surgical lifting of the buttock area is sometimes recommended.

What to look for when choosing plastic and its price

When choosing a method of buttock correction, you should approach this issue with all responsibility. Each method has its pros and cons, risk of complications and certain possibilities. Therefore, in order to decide which option to give preference to, you need to compare your desires with the expected result from the procedure, take into account all the risks and contraindications. For example, you should not expect impressive changes in the volume of the butt from contouring or biopolymer threads. Such methods are more aimed at correcting the condition of the skin of the buttocks and its tone.

As for the price, it is not advisable to look for the cheapest option; as they say, the miser pays twice. But a high price is not a guarantee of the surgeon’s professionalism. It is better to spend time studying reviews about each clinic and choose a middle ground.

Types of gluteoplasty

Depending on the desired result, several options for buttock surgery are used:

• correction with increasing volume. In this case, the desired shape is achieved using medical implants that are implanted into the buttocks;
• lipofilling of the buttocks. The increase in volume is achieved through the use of one's own fat tissue. The material is usually taken from the abdomen or thighs;
• plastic surgery with volume reduction, or liposuction. During this procedure, excess fat deposits are removed.

After examining the patient, the specialist determines the type of gluteoplasty that is suitable for a particular person, taking into account his general condition and expressed wishes.

Reviews

Now let's get back to the reviews. So, after talking with girls who have gone through such correction methods, I came to the conclusion that the most lasting effect is obtained after installing implants. Complications after this method rarely occur, and the results continue to please for a very long time.

Hyaluronic acid and biopolymer threads, although they are distinguished by the absence of anesthesia during the procedure, and these techniques are quick and painless, but, according to my new friends, the effect of the manipulations does not last long. In addition, the risk of developing allergies and inflammation is high.

Opinions are generally divided about lipolifting. Katerina has already decided to have this operation a year ago and is quite pleased, but Irina, 6 months after going to the clinic, discovered that the injected fat was half resolved, her buttocks were smaller and slightly deformed. She came to the surgeon with this problem when we met there.

Yes, the abundance of information is making your head spin. With such a choice of ways to get a fantastic butt without exhausting yourself in the gym or tormenting yourself with diets, even the owners of quite nice buttocks will think that there are no limits to perfection. However, not all so simple. Without physical activity and proper nutrition, any plastic surgery will turn out to be a temporary phenomenon, and some methods initially do not promise a long-term effect. So, my dears, without sports and giving up treats, the dream of beautiful buttocks will remain a dream. Smack everyone!

Operation procedure

Based on the examination of the patient, the plastic surgeon determines in advance whether the intervention will take place under spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia. The duration of the gluteoplasty procedure is approximately 3 hours. A small incision is made in the area of ​​the intergluteal fold, through which a sterile implant is installed, then sutures are applied. The cosmetic seam after the operation is almost invisible, so subsequently you can wear open swimsuits without embarrassment.

Recovery period

For approximately 4 days after surgery, the patient will have difficulty sitting and will have to move very carefully and carefully. After a few days the discomfort goes away completely.

After 1.5 months, you can add light physical activity. Excessively intense training should be avoided for approximately another 3 months. During this period, it is necessary to use compression garments and avoid sunbathing. And most importantly, you cannot make intramuscular injections into the buttocks, so as not to damage the implant. In an emergency, the doctor will perform such a manipulation on the thigh.

To get gluteoplasty done in Moscow, you should contact a multidisciplinary medical center. Highly qualified specialists of the clinic perform all types of aesthetic surgeries to transform the patient, using the latest equipment and the most modern technologies.

The surgeons' many years of experience and the patient's compliance with all medical prescriptions allow us to guarantee excellent results that will last for many years.

All about buttock surgery

Do you know which plastic surgery is consistently among the top five most popular among women? Yes, yes, you probably guessed that this is buttock surgery. Millions of women around the world, imitating their star idols, annually spend impressive sums to have the same sexy figure as Kim Kardashian, Anyuta Rai, Anastasia Kvitko, not to mention the founder of the “curvy buttocks” movement, Jennifer Lopez.

Ordinary women have proven with their desire that the desire to have a perfect body shape with clearly visible buttocks today is turning from a dream into a reality. Plastic surgeons quickly caught on to this trend, so they continue to improve methods of buttock augmentation, offering ladies a whole variety of plastic surgery options.

Stages of buttock enlargement

Any intervention in a person’s appearance requires careful analysis and selection of the optimal technique for correcting deficiencies. If you need to enlarge your buttocks, then in this case you must follow the following steps:

1. Analysis of the situation. An objective look from the outside at your appearance will help you avoid mistakes and complications. An experienced plastic surgeon will help determine the indications for intervention and prepare the patient mentally and physically for the upcoming plastic surgery. A preliminary consultation with him is the first step towards successful correction of appearance.
2. Selection of intervention methods. During the consultation, the plastic surgeon examines the medical history, analyzes the structure of the buttocks, identifies deficiencies in this part of the body, and also listens to the patient’s wishes. If no contraindications are identified, then the specialist selects the optimal intervention method, which, on the one hand, will allow you to obtain the desired result, and on the other hand, will be the most effective in the case of this patient.
3. Carrying out surgery on the buttocks. The operation is performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. The duration depends on the complexity of the case. After plastic surgery of the buttocks, the patient is transferred to a ward, where he is under the supervision of medical personnel for 24 hours. On the second day, if no complications are identified, the patient is discharged.
4. Recovery after plastic surgery. The final result of buttock surgery depends on many factors. The key role is played by the skill of the surgeon, the technique of the operation, as well as the patient’s accuracy of compliance with postoperative recommendations. At this stage, you must carefully follow all the doctor’s instructions in order to speed up recovery and reduce the likelihood of complications.

Photos “before” and “after” buttock augmentation surgery

The increased popularity of buttock surgery is indirectly confirmed by plastic surgeons themselves. Many specialists have separate works in their portfolios dedicated to buttock augmentation. To evaluate the effect of the operation, just look at the “before” and “after” photos.

Buttock enlargement techniques

Today, plastic surgeons have the opportunity to choose the appropriate buttock augmentation technique, based both on the wishes of the patients and on the specifics of a particular clinical case. Several methods of buttock enlargement have earned the greatest confidence in terms of predictability of the result and preservation of the achieved effect.

• Endoprosthetics of the buttocks

The technique consists of using silicone implants, which are placed in the buttocks and allow you to correct this part of the body, giving it volume and improving its shape. Externally, implants are capsules with a hard shell and a plastic filling, usually silicone or saline (the latter is used very rarely today due to its impracticality).

Absolutely all buttock implants can last a lifetime. This is due to their production technologies, when manufacturing companies produce products taking into account the load that the prostheses will experience during operation (for example, implants must withstand bending, sitting, maintain integrity and not deform as a result of increased physical stress).

The selection of suitable implants for buttock surgery is made by the surgeon at a preliminary consultation. After studying the patient’s wishes, the specialist selects the optimal size, shape and volume of the prosthesis. The location of the implant is also important, since it is very important that it is in the anatomically correct area. Otherwise, at certain moments, for example, when bending or walking, the prosthesis will be visible.

As for the shape, buttock implants can be:

1. Round - they are most often used to give the buttocks a pleasant roundness, to make them more convex.
2. Drop-shaped - their shape is very close to natural, so plastic surgeons prefer to use them to enlarge the buttocks. This type of prosthesis is most suitable for correcting congenital or acquired deformities.
3. Oval is another option for implants that have been successfully used recently. They have virtually no disadvantages, so they are suitable for many patients.

Classic buttock replacement involves installing implants under the muscle or under the fascia. Subcutaneous installation is practically not used today, since in this case the prosthesis will be very noticeable, plus the risk of its displacement increases, since there is no sufficient fixation. The surgeon also chooses the location individually. This is influenced by the anatomical features of the patient’s buttocks. Thus, endoprosthetics of the upper third of the buttocks, sides, middle part or other areas can be performed.

Buttock surgery is performed exclusively under anesthesia. In this case, the surgeon may recommend both general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia (injection into the spine). To achieve maximum naturalness, the incision is made in the fold between the gluteal muscles. The suture is made with absorbable sutures.

• Lipofilling of the buttocks

In certain situations, instead of endoprosthetics, plastic surgeons recommend an alternative technique - lipofilling of the buttocks. After many years of research, it was found that human fat is an ideal filler that can be used to correct certain areas of the body, including the buttocks.

This technique is supported by the fact that the patient himself is the donor for obtaining adipose tissue. Hence, there is an almost complete absence of complications and a minimal rehabilitation period. An additional advantage is that along with an increase in the volume of the buttocks, it is possible to correct the shape of the “problem” areas. Donor areas are usually the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. That is, those places that are very difficult to correct with the help of diets and increased physical activity.

The buttock lipofilling operation is divided into three stages:

1. First, adipose tissue is collected. This happens under sterile conditions, and it is very important what technique the specialist uses. The integrity of the fat cell membrane is critical. If fat is collected using outdated technologies, then after transplantation most of the graft will be removed from the body. Accordingly, the effect of buttock enlargement will be little noticeable.
2. Next comes the preparation of the graft. At this stage, the adipose tissue is cleaned of foreign matter. In order for the material to “take root”, as well as to shorten the rehabilitation period, in some clinics the adipose tissue is treated using the patient’s blood plasma. This technique is safe and is used in modern conditions by many plastic surgery centers.
3. The final stage is the introduction of the graft into the buttocks. This happens using a special syringe. The surgeon first marks the injection sites for adipose tissue to ensure its even distribution. The injection methods are chosen depending on the situation: it can be a subcutaneous injection (one of the negative aspects is the formation of tubercles on the skin if the surgical technique was violated) or the injection of adipose tissue into the muscle to varying depths (the result is more predictable).

After lipofilling of the buttocks, the patient will have to undergo regular corrections and carefully monitor their weight. In the case of diet and increased physical activity, the artificially created volume may disappear.

• Reinforcement of the buttocks with bio-threads

An alternative to surgical correction of buttock volume should be considered the use of bio-threads. This technique is a minimally invasive technique, but it does not give such an amazing result.

Plastic surgeons recommend bio-reinforcement of the buttocks with threads when the patient requires a slight lift. The technique consists of fan-shaped insertion of special threads with serifs under the skin. They are completely compatible with natural human tissues, so they do not cause rejection.

The design of the threads is such that they have small serifs throughout their entire length. These “nodules” literally string the skin, which is how the lifting effect is achieved. Over time, the threads dissolve, and in their place a framework of connective tissue is formed - this is what ensures the prolonged effect of the tightening. For 3-5 years, the buttocks remain elastic. But then the procedure must either be repeated or resort to more complex buttock augmentation techniques.

Indications for buttock enlargement:

• insufficient volume of the gluteal muscles, which cannot be corrected by increasing physical activity;
• sagging tissue due to gravity and natural aging processes;
• injuries and previous surgeries that led to loss of shape and volume of the gluteal muscles;
• development of muscle atrophy in this area of ​​the body.

Contraindications for buttock augmentation:

• diseases in chronic or acute form;
• blood clotting disorder;
• diabetes;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• decreased functions of the endocrine system, leading to obesity;
• unstable blood pressure;
• diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• oncology;
• inflammatory processes in the intervention area.

Preparing for surgery

The key to successful buttock augmentation surgery is careful preparation for the intervention. It includes:

1. Consultation with a plastic surgeon.
2. Collection of tests and additional studies prescribed by the doctor.
3. Quitting bad habits (smoking, alcohol).
4. Stop taking certain medications (for example, hormonal medications and medications that affect blood clotting).
5. Proper nutrition to maintain immunity (focus on fruits, vegetables, cereals, protein foods).
6. Maintaining a calm rhythm of life, avoiding stress and nervous tension.
7. On the eve of the operation, at least 8 hours in advance, you should refuse food and water, prepare documents and things that will be needed in the hospital.

To perform the operation, you need to take tests and undergo the following studies:

1. General blood analysis.
2. Blood biochemistry (indicators: total protein, creatinine, urea, bilirubin, AST, ALT, potassium, sodium, glucose)
3. Coagulogram (blood clotting time, fibrinogen, APTT, antithrombin III)
4. Analysis to determine blood type and Rh factor.
5. General urine analysis.
6. Ultrasound of the veins of the lower extremities and a phlebologist’s conclusion about the absence of contraindications to the operation.
7. ECG with interpretation.
8. Conclusion of a therapist or cardiologist about the absence of contraindications to surgery.
9. X-ray of the chest organs.

Rehabilitation after buttock augmentation

The recovery period after buttock augmentation surgery lasts from 4 to 6 months. During the first weeks, hematomas and swelling may be observed in the area of ​​intervention; some patients experience low-intensity pain, which is easily relieved by taking painkillers.

After the operation you must:

• spend about one to two days in a hospital under the supervision of doctors;
• refrain from taking water procedures for about 2-3 days;
• give up solariums, saunas, and swimming pools for about 1-1.5 months;
• refrain from sports and physical activity for at least a month;
• for 1-1.5 months, it is mandatory to wear compression underwear (it is selected by the doctor at a preliminary consultation);
• lead a healthy lifestyle, abstaining from smoking and alcohol;
• take medications recommended by your doctor to speed up the healing of sutures;
• attend physiotherapeutic procedures prescribed by a specialist;
• If endoprosthetics of the buttocks has taken place, then injections into the gluteal muscle should be avoided for life; injections only into the thigh are permissible.

If after surgery the patient feels severe pain in the intervention area or bleeding, you should immediately consult a doctor to choose the right treatment tactics.
