Buttocks Augmentation (with Implants)
Butt implant surgery involves the
surgical insertion of implants,
typically made of semi-solid
silicone, into the buttocks in order to
enhance its size and shape. This surgery
is frequently sought
by women who are unhappy with the size
of their underdeveloped buttocks,
feeling that they lack shape.
Then there are others who want to have a
more sensuous backside by making it
larger and rounder.
Singer/Actress Jennifer Lopez as well as
reality television star Kim Kardashian
may be the biggest
influence among these women,
contributing to the rise in number of
butt implants procedures performed.
Typically, an incision is made in any
one of the following places: where the
cheek meets the back of
the thigh or down the buttock crease.
The incision is usually made in the
buttock crease, where scars
are not noticeable. However, this area
does carry a high risk of infection.
The doctor then creates a pocket large
enough to insert the butt implants. The
implants can be placed
either under the gluteus maximus muscle
or on top of the muscle.
Sometimes, the doctor performs
liposuction in order to further enhance
the shape of the buttocks.
After performing the same procedure on
both the buttocks, the doctor makes sure
that they are
symmetrical and looks natural and
proportionate. He/she then stitches up
the incisions.
Most likely, the anesthesia you receive
will be general, although some doctors
use a local anesthetic
along with a sedative. Anesthesia type
should be discussed with your doctor
during the initial
consultation. |
