Buttock Contouring: Buttock Liposuction
Suitable for younger individuals with evenly distributed buttock fat deposits and good skin elasticity. Excess fat is removed through tumescent liposuction, ensuring uniform suction while preserving the natural curves and transitions of the buttocks. The gluteal crease should remain defined, with smooth, natural transitions.Through skin contraction and the use of elastic bandages, a fuller, more curvaceous buttock shape is sculpted.
Buttock Augmentation
Experts note this procedure addresses individuals with sunken buttocks due to overall thinness and underdeveloped buttock muscles/fat, or those with adequate buttock size but insufficient fullness or lack of a defined gluteal peak.Internationally, flat implants similar to silicone gel implants are used. Under local anesthesia, an incision is made in the gluteal crease. The skin and subcutaneous fat are dissected, and the implant is placed in the subcutaneous layer on the surface of the gluteal muscles. The implant is secured to the muscle surface using specialized fixation devices.Domestically, autologous fat injection and transplantation is employed. Multiple procedures can achieve ideal results with minimal post-operative scarring, making this approach more suitable for Asian individuals. Buttock Lift Surgery Suitable for older individuals with fat accumulation and sagging, loose skin.Building upon liposuction to remove excess fat, incisions are strategically placed based on fat distribution and skin laxity—either on the upper or outer buttocks near the inner thigh crease, or along the lower buttock crease (gluteal fold). During the procedure, excess fat is removed while simultaneously suspending the gluteal muscles and other tissues, and excess skin is excised.Experts note that this procedure yields an attractive buttock contour. However, it is important to understand that a scar will be present on the buttocks. Surgeons will position the incision as discreetly as possible within the gluteal cleft, lower waist, or inner thigh crease. These areas are naturally concealed and remain hidden even when wearing swimwear.
Preoperative Preparation and Postoperative Care for Buttock Surgery
Buttock liposuction and injectable buttock augmentation require no special care. Buttock lift surgery, however, is relatively more complex. Preoperative procedures include a general physical examination to assess the health of vital organs like the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, ensuring the patient can tolerate anesthesia and surgery. Patients should bathe three days prior to buttock surgery and minimize consumption of fibrous foods.After a buttock lift, bed rest is required for 5 days. For two weeks post-surgery, increase vegetable intake to prevent constipation and take sufficient antibiotics. Sutures are typically removed after two weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise for one month post-surgery. Wear compression bandages for three months to stabilize the area.
