Buttock implant surgery, also known as buttock augmentation, is designed to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks using artificial implants.
This surgery is often sought by individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their buttocks due to genetics, weight loss, or aging. Buttock implants can provide a fuller, more shapely appearance to the buttocks, resulting in improved confidence and self-esteem.
The surgeon creates incisions on the buttocks to create pockets for the implants. The buttock implants are then inserted into the pockets and positioned to achieve the desired results.
Prior to the buttock implant surgery, patients are usually instructed to stop smoking and avoid certain medications and supplements that could increase the risk of bleeding.
In addition, patients are typically instructed to follow a healthy diet and exercise routine to optimize their physical health and help ensure a smooth recovery.
The surgeon may also provide specific instructions on how to prepare for the procedure, such as what to wear and when to stop eating and drinking prior to surgery.
After the buttock implant surgery, it is important to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon.
You will need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for several weeks after the procedure to prevent damaging the implants. You may also need to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and provide support to the area.
It is important to take pain medication as prescribed and avoid strenuous activity until you are cleared by your surgeon.
Possible risks of buttock implant surgery include infection, bleeding, implant displacement, capsular contracture, implant rupture or leak, nerve damage, seroma, and anesthesia risks.
It is important to discuss these risks with a qualified plastic surgeon before undergoing the procedure and to carefully follow post-operative instructions to minimize the risk of complications.
