Buttock cosmetic surgery is one of the most asked for procedures by men and especially by women. With this procedure, it is possible to restore the area’s tonicity, increase its volume or model it.
The most widely used method is the infiltration of fat from the same patient. When using this method, 30-40% of the fat is reabsorbed; therefore, it is necessary to overcorrect it so that after fat absorption the desired result is permanent.
Another method is the placement of silicone gel implants, a procedure that requires a 4 to 5cm incision in the gluteal crease. Here, implants are surgically placed deep within the tissues of the buttock to obtain a natural result.
