It is a cosmetic surgery procedure involves lifting the buttocks area and enlarging them through the use of a synthetic implant or silicone.

Buttocks implants are more “hardy” than breast implants. They are made of an elastomer which does not carry the chance of leakage. The procedure is done by making a small incision above the muscles in the sitting area and below the fascia. Intermuscular augmentation was popular prior to this technique, however it only augmented a portion of the buttocks instead of the whole area.

Is there scarring involved with buttock augmentation?

As is the case with many surgical procedures, there is a risk of some scarring. Typically however, the incision scar should be completely gone within a year as long as it is cared for.

So what’s the next step if you’re interested in having a buttock augmentation procedure done? The first thing that you should do is locate a plastic surgeon who not only performs this procedure, but also has an excellent reputation. The surgeon will hold a consultation with you to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure and also that to explain any risks associated with the surgery.

If you decide to go through with the procedure, you can expect to wear a surgical garment post op to minimize swelling and inflammation. You’ll also be placed on an antibiotic to prevent infection and aid in the healing process. Last but not least, it’s important that you avoid sitting for extended periods of time for the next six to seven months.
