Buttock plastic surgery (gluteoplasty)

Surgical correction of the shape or volume of the buttocks is a common plastic surgery, which is applied to both women and men. Gluteoplasty allows to perfect the body shape and gives a sustainable lifetime effect. 

Correction of buttock shape can be carried out both with the help of special silicone buttock implants, and by displacing the patient's own subcutaneous fat taken from other areas (usually from the abdomen).

Buttock implants have a dense wall that ensures their coherency under the influence of daily stress, physical effort and massage. Manufacturers lay resistance to these loads at the design stage of the implant production and provide products with a lifetime warranty.

Buttock lift becomes possible due to the procedure of filling them with the patient's own fat tissue, which is withdrawn from the places of its excessive accumulation. Thus, this procedure is combined with liposuction and is called lipofilling. If the patient does not have excess fat tissue, the lifting is performed with the simultaneous implantation of a gluteus implant.

Before gluteoplasty patients undergo a standard package of preoperative examinations, including doctors' consultations, blood and urine tests, coagulogram, fluorography, etc.

Smokers are advised to give up this habit for a period of several weeks before and after plastic surgery for better wound healing.

Buttock surgery is carried out under General anesthesia, after the procedure hospitalization is indicated for a period of three days to a week. The operation is carried out in a new operating unit, with modern operating rooms and the best equipment. Comfortable single and double hospital rooms with attentive and caring medical staff are allocated for hospitalization of patients.
