The buttocks are one of the body's primary areas prone to fat accumulation. Excessive fat deposits detract from physical aesthetics.
Buttock Liposuction
Within the human body's structure, the buttocks serve as a bridge between the upper and lower body. An obese buttock appears large and plump, lacking elasticity, with an excessively wide circumference that sags outward and downward on both sides, sometimes forming an inverted triangle or square shape.The sides of the buttocks often lack clear definition from the thighs. An overly large buttocks can shift the body's center of gravity downward, leading to sluggish movement and significantly affecting aesthetic appeal.During buttock liposuction, two small incisions (3-5mm) are made in the natural creases of the buttocks and thighs. Fat is then evenly and symmetrically suctioned. Special attention is given to the transition areas adjacent to the thighs and waist to avoid creating visible "steps" on the body.The procedure is performed under sleep anesthesia, ensuring no pain. As recovery progresses, incision marks gradually fade into natural skin creases, becoming barely noticeable. Buttock liposuction simultaneously lifts the buttocks and creates the appearance of longer, more slender thighs.
How Much Fat Should Be Removed?
The volume of fat removed is determined by the specialist based on the individual's specific circumstances. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, and more is not necessarily better. Higher removal volumes increase the risk of complications, so the amount should be carefully controlled. Generally, buttock liposuction is limited to around 3000ml, though this can be adjusted for heavier patients.
Contraindications for Buttock Liposuction
1. The sacral triangle area, also known as the Bermuda Triangle (the triangular region bounded by the tip of the coccyx and the midpoints of the two gluteal folds), is a contraindicated site for fat removal.
2. Pathological obesity resulting from secondary conditions is not within the scope of liposuction treatment.
3. Individuals with coagulation disorders or those currently menstruating are not eligible for buttock liposuction.
3. Individuals with coagulation disorders and women currently menstruating are ineligible for buttock liposuction.
Optimal Postoperative Care for Enhanced Results
The recovery period after buttock liposuction typically lasts 2-3 days. Bruising may occur at the surgical site, with swelling subsiding and natural contouring taking approximately one month.Post-operative bandaging is required for 1-2 days, followed by compression garments. Do not loosen bandages without physician approval. Antibiotics may be prescribed prophylactically if necessary. Wear compression garments to achieve contouring and prevent skin laxity.
