Buttock Augmentation

Lipofilling with patient’s own fat
Experts in boosting, raising and rounding the buttock.

Buttock augmentation (or enlargement) aims to improve the size and shape of the buttock (either because it is small, sagging, or due to a loss in shape or symmetry). This is usually achieved by means of buttock lipofilling (or fat transfer or grafting) or buttock implants..

Medical information

Tratamientos clínica estética Jordi Mir

Ideal patients for buttock augmentation surgery are healthy, emotionally stable individuals who understand the results that can be achieved with surgery.

In the first consultation, we’ll assess the size and shape of the buttocks, the firmness of the skin and your general state of health. Here we’ll discuss the size and shape we want to achieve. We’ll talk you through the different surgical techniques, and the best options for each patient. We always like to clarify why we choose one technique over another for each individual.

Pre-operative examinations are required for these procedures.

Lipofilling or implants?

On an international scale, the tendency leans towards lipofilling for buttock surgery. The main reason is that it achieves better results, with fewer complications, and uses the patient’s own tissue.

Implants tend to be used only on very slender patients, who do not have enough fat to remove.

Lipofilling is a two-part surgery. The first part is very similar to liposuction: fat is removed from the desired area(s). This fat is then treated in order to separate the fat cells (adipocytes) from the serum. The second part consists of implanting these adipocytes in the receptor tissue (in this case the buttock) using cannulas that make tunnels in the buttock tissue (both in the fat and in the muscle).

Approximately 30% of the implanted tissue is reabsorbed (disappears). This explains two things: the tendency of plastic surgeons to over-correct the area treated and the reason a new lipofilling may be required after a few months.

It is a very safe, low complication and painless technique.

We recommend high cohesive silicone gel implants. Dr Jordi Mir only uses top quality buttock implants.

We fit either round or anatomical (drop-shaped) implants. Our philosophy is “we achieve beauty through naturalness”.

Why these implants?

We believe in, and are committed to quality. Not all cosmetic surgery products are the same. We are committed to cosmetic products backed by science and with proven efficacy. We will not consider anything other than the best product for our body.

The history, quality and reputation of the buttock implant manufacturer are very important, in terms of the experience in manufacturing buttock implants and the guarantee they offer.

Worldwide trust in the product goes hand in hand with knowledge and experience in its use.

Patients are hospitalised for one day.

If you have lipofilling, you can lean on your buttocks, but it is better to use a pillow on your sides and another one under your thighs for the first three weeks to put minimum pressure on them. You can start walking normally from the first day.

In the case of buttock implants, for the first week we recommend you only lie on your stomach. You should not sit down or lie on your back. In the second week you can start taking short walks. In the third and fourth week you can start sitting on soft surfaces.

To ensure your well-being, during the first week we will recommend you take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication.

Buttock augmentation is a very safe procedure, provided it is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon.

In the case of buttock implants special care must be taken with the inter gluteal wound, due to the risk of dehiscence.

Short-term complications are very rare and tend to be those typical of any surgery: bruising, infection, changes in the sensitivity of the operated area.

In the long term, the most common complication is capsular contracture, which occurs when the internal scar that forms around the implant contracts excessively, causing the buttock to stiffen. This currently occurs in about 2– 10 % of patients. It may require reshaping of the internal scar and/or implant replacement.

Breakage of a high-cohesive silicone gel implant is very rare. Should this occur, it will need to be replaced with a new implant.

As plastic surgeons, we pay great attention to all the factors that influence these potential complications and do everything in our power to prevent them. However, despite our best efforts, there is always the possibility that any of these could occur. Here is it important that patient and surgeon form a team and work together to obtain the best possible result under the circumstances.
