GLUTEOPLASTY AND BUTTOCKS LIPOFILLING

GLUTEOPLASTY AND BUTTOCKS LIPOFILLING IN ARMENIA

These plastic surgeries are performed to correct the shape and volume of the buttock by installing special implants under the gluteus maximus muscle or the fascia of the gluteal muscle, or by introducing your own fat through small punctures of the skin (lipofilling). This operation allows you to give this part of the body a rounded shape and elasticity, and solve the problem of flat and saggy buttocks.

Correction of the buttocks in Armenia is safe for health and provides high-quality results. Armenian plastic surgeons have extensive practical experience, so possible complications after surgery are minimized.

What is a Buttock Augmentation?

Buttock or gluteal augmentation is a procedure used to improve the volume, shape, and contour of the buttocks. Buttock augmentation can be achieved through fat grafting, (famously referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL), silicone implants, or sometimes a combination of these two techniques.

Why Buttock Augmentation May Be Right for You

  • At a stable and healthy weight without excess sagging skin.
  • If you do have excess skin laxity, you may require a buttock lift and/or tuck in conjunction with buttock augmentation to attain optimal results.

If you are unhappy with the shape of your buttocks and believe the contour is asymmetrical or flat and lacking volume, a buttock augmentation procedure may be right for you.

 

Gluteal Implant

Silicone implants are inserted into the subfascial (below the fascia) plane of the gluteus muscle or inserted intramuscularly (within the muscle). Implants in the subfascial plane have the benefits of obviating the need for muscle dissection and significantly reduces the risk of injuring the sciatic nerve, (which can cause neuropathic pain, and dysfunction of muscles located on the back of the thigh and lower leg). The disadvantage to this method is that the subfascial plane is not as deep as the intramuscular plane, making the contour of the implant more prominent.

The benefits of the intramuscular plane include the thick muscular covering that the bisected (dissected in half) gluteus maximus muscle provides over the silicone implant, conferring a natural contour. The con to this method is that the intramuscular plane requires the surgeon to bisect the gluteus maximus muscle, which lengthens recovery and increases the risk of permanently severing nerves that innervate this muscle. Nerve injury can cause paralysis of the gluteus maximus muscle and subsequent atrophy (muscle shrinkage), creating asymmetry and muscle dysfunction. Implants are silicone and are either round or oval. They also come in different sizes ranging from 200-500 mL. The ideal size and shape will be selected according to the size of your pelvis, your height, and your desired degree of augmentation. All options will be discussed with your plastic surgeon and a customized surgical plan will be created to match your existing anatomy and your aesthetic goals.

Gluteal Fat Transfer or Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Liposuction is performed in areas where fat removal will improve the contour of your body. Typically, fat is harvested two or more regions to obtain an adequate amount. These areas include the flanks (love handles), abdomen, and back. The harvested fat is purified to optimize the viability of your fat cells and stem cells which will be injected into the subcutaneous layer (below the skin, but above the muscle) of your buttocks. About 50-75% of the injected fat will survive. Occasionally, a patient may want an additional BBL to add more volume.
