About the Procedure:
Gluteoplasty is a surgical procedure that seeks to improve the shape and size of the buttocks, creating a more harmonious and aesthetic figure.
There are two main types of gluteoplasty: with prosthesis (implants) and with lipoinjection (transfer of the patient's own fat). This procedure not only enhances the appearance, but can also improve body proportion, giving more volume and roundness to the buttocks.
The surgery is usually performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. Results are immediate, although full recovery may take several weeks. Gluteoplasty is performed safely by highly qualified plastic surgeons, guaranteeing natural and satisfactory results.
Learn about the procedure
1. Which type of gluteoplasty is right for me?
-
The choice between prosthesis or lipoinjection will depend on your goals, the amount of fat available for transfer, and your personal preferences. During the initial consultation, the surgeon will guide you on the most appropriate option for you.
2. How long is the recovery process?
-
Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure. If it is a gluteoplasty with prosthesis, the recovery time is usually 2 to 4 weeks. With lipoinjection, it could be faster, although it is recommended to avoid intense physical activities for at least 6 weeks.
3. Are the results permanent?
-
The results of gluteoplasty can last for many years, but natural skin aging and weight changes can affect the shape over time. In the case of lipoinjection, some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body, although much of it is retained in the long term.
Recommendations
Here are some important recovery recommendations after breast gluteoplasty:
-
Rest: Rest adequately during the first few weeks and avoid activities that may put pressure on the treated area.
-
Compression: Use compression garments as directed by your surgeon to aid in recovery and minimize swelling.
-
Avoid sitting on the buttocks: Especially in the first 2-3 weeks, avoid sitting directly on the buttocks to avoid pressure on the implants or the areas treated with lipoinjection.
-
Do not do intense exercise: Avoid any type of intense exercise or exercise that involves the use of the buttocks for at least 6 weeks.
-
Follow medical indications: Keep all follow-up appointments and follow postoperative care instructions to the letter.
