Buttock Enhancement
Buttock enhancement is usually done for beauty augmentation and aesthetic purposes. It is performed by using implants or surgical procedures like fat grafting. Buttock enhancement helps in improving the shape, size, and contours of the buttocks. There are a variety of ways in which a surgeon may perform the intervention, by using different incision patterns in the area.
The ways to perform the incision and the right procedure are decided based on patient need, body and skin type. In the buttock lift procedure, the underlying (inside) tissue is toned to arrive at the desired result. Implants are also an option in such procedures, which are silicone-based and of various forms. Implants are used to give the buttocks the right shape and structure that the procedure aims for.
The procedure
In the buttock lift procedure, first, general anesthesia is given and then the liposuction is performed through small incisions below the waistline. The excess tissue is removed and incisions are closed using sutures or clips. The buttock augmentation procedure starts with liposuction of the areas from where fat is to be removed. The removed fat is then injected using cannulas with a syringe at the end. This process may have to be repeated more times in the future for complete augmentation. For implants, incisions are made on both cheeks of the buttocks. A silicone-based implant is inserted in the muscle area. The size and method of placing the implants are based on the requirement, type of body, and health risks, if any. Using sutures, the incisions are closed and the result of the procedure is visible to the patient soon.
Healing process
The healing process and time varies depending upon the procedure chosen. The buttock lift procedure has a comparatively longer healing time than other aesthetic procedures. It may take 5-6 months of healing time for visible results, as the fat needs time to adjust, as the tissues settle and the incision lines fade away. For surgical implants, the results are visible faster and healing is sooner. In each case, swelling in the area can be expected, which will recover within a few weeks to some months.
