Buttock Augmentation

Shapely hips are the symbol of femininity and curvy hips are increasing in demand. Those who are not born with such a figure can get plastic surgery to enhance their figures. It is a procedure that is requested by both genders, not just women.

How are the hips classified:  The hips consist of muscle, fat, bones and the skin The shape and size is determined by genetics, yet the volume is determined by the fat cell amount and it’s even distribution is an important factor, along with the skin quality. The hip is divided into 3 segments

* Upper hip: The amount of fat in this part is crucial as it defines the hip curve. In cases needed, fat can be removed or added to ensure a correct shape and size to suit the patient’s body structure. If needed, silicone implants can be added to enhance its shape.

* Middle hip: If the central part of the hip is concave, a small injection of fat cells can easily correct this appearance.

* Lower hip: Excess fat in this area gives the appearance of a sagging bottom, or looking boxy. A simple liposuction procedure can be combined with excess skin removal if needed to correct this. The correction will not be apparent immediately due to swelling, but the results will show in time.

What is hip esthetics: Hip plastic surgery is called Gluteoplasty and is the science to correct the shape and size and there are 3 basic methods

* Enlarging and shaping
* Lifting
* Reducing

1. How are enlargements made? 
Fat injections: After a consultation, patient and doctor determine applications. The best method is to harvest fat cells from the patient and inject them where needed. As the patients own cells are used, it is the most natural method, yet as some of the injected cells will be absorbed, the patient will loose some fullness with time.

Silicone implants: In cases when the patient does not have enough fat cells to be harvested, a silicone implant may be inserted, either under the muscle or skin tissue, this will be determined after the consultation. The size is to be determined depending on the patient’s structural frame.

2. Lifting
Sagging may occur with age or due to genetics and there are many methods to correct this occurrence. The method is to be selected based on the skin quality of the patient and the frame of the hips.In cases where needed, excess skin may be removed.

3. Reducing:
Large hips due to weight gain or body type can be corrected by liposuction and reshaped when needed.

The procedure lasts about an hour and bruises and swelling will heal in about a week, wearing firming panty hose is required for a week corset is required and the final shape is visible in 6 months.
