Buttock augmentation

In France, this increasingly publicized intervention is becoming one of the most common requests forcing French surgeons to be trained in these new surgical techniques.

Hyaluronic acid makes it possible to increase the buttocks quickly without general anesthesia, with results that can last for 12 to 18 months.
There is a new HA for this treatment: Hyalcorp.

Buttock implants are more flexible but firmer, they are more cohesive and resistant than breast implants.

They are made of a silicone elastomer and a very cohesive silicone gel to prevent any leaking. In cosmetic surgery, it is important to discuss the desired size with your surgeon. They will be able to advise you on an implant volume adapted to your morphology.

The average volume of buttocks prostheses is 250 to 350 g.

The incision is made in the inter-gluteal fold, which is covered by underwear. The implant is inserted into the gluteus maximus muscle with a vertical scar hidden in the crease of the buttocks. Space is made for the implant, so that it cannot move but which can make the operation a bit more painful. The implant is only placed in the upper half of the buttocks.

Post-operative follow-up:

The operation is a bit more painful than Breast Implants, so to relieve any pain, the patient can take some more powerful analgesics (ex. morphine) for 48 hours.
The patient must only sit down after 24 hours (well seated against a backrest).
The first wound dressing is redone at 24 hours and, after the first 48 hours, the patients can walk.
The average hospital stay is 48 – 72 hours
