Medical Procedure: Gluteal Implants/Augmentation

Common Name: butt implants, buttock enlargement, buttock augmentation

What to Expect from Gluteal Implant Surgery: The main objective of the gluteal implant procedure is to enhance the size and shape of the buttock area by the insertion of silicone implants that have been carved and shaped by an aesthetic surgeon to suit each patient’s body type. Liposuction or a buttock lift is commonly accompanied by the gluteal implant procedure for more satisfying results.

Description of Gluteal Implant Surgery: The first step is a detailed consulatation with your surgeon, who will determine the best method that will achieve your desired end results.After the patient has undergone a general or local anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision in between the buttock, just along the natal cleft. Pockets are created in each cheek, just beneath the gluteus maximus muscle, for where the silicone implants will be placed. After the implants are placed, the incisions are closed with either dissolvable stitches or removable stitches, in which case the patient may or may not be required to return to the hospital for a follow-up visit to have the stitches removed. Patients have the option of going under a general anesthesia or a local anesthesia with sedatives. Many patients prefer to be sleeping during the procedure, and therefore choose to be under general anesthesia. This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day of the surgery, unless informed otherwise by the surgeon.
