Who can undergo buttock aesthetics?

It can be performed for all patients who are dissatisfied with the shape of their buttocks.

One of the most attractive areas of the female body is the hip and waist region. A rounded and lifted buttock appearance, when combined with long legs and a firm abdomen, completes commonly perceived beauty proportions in both women and men.

Buttock aesthetic procedures can be performed for all patients who are unhappy with the shape of their buttocks. Patients generally complain that their buttocks appear flat, droopy, or excessively wide.

Although the basic structure of the hips and legs is hereditary, fat accumulation and sagging in this area can create unwanted appearances. From an aesthetic surgery perspective, operations in this region aim to preserve what is harmonious, correct what has changed, and reshape the soft tissues.

The concept of buttock aesthetics includes procedures involving the buttocks, hips, and waist area. Liposuction can be performed in appropriate regions, fat injections can be added where needed, and in suitable patients the buttocks can be enhanced with silicone implants to improve the overall result.

The following procedures may be performed under the heading of buttock aesthetics.

Liposhaping: This is the transfer of fat harvested from the hip area into the buttocks.

Buttock implants: If the patient’s buttocks are flat and there is not enough fat tissue, silicone buttock implants can be used. They may be placed beneath the muscle. Since the incision is positioned within the buttock crease, the resulting scar is not visible.

Buttock lift: Especially after severe weight loss, in patients whose buttocks have sagged downward together with the entire leg skin, the excess sagging skin can be removed in a belt-like fashion from front to back.

Filler applications: Hyaluronic acid fillers may be considered for patients with flat buttocks who do not have enough fat for fat transfer and do not want implants. One of the best-known brands is Macrolane. Water-based fillers referred to as aquafilling may also be applied to the buttocks, sometimes together with fat injections.

Are the results of buttock aesthetics permanent?

During liposhaping, approximately 30% of the injected fat may be lost, but the contouring created in the waist and buttock area is long-lasting, similar to the results obtained with buttock implants. The results of buttock suspension procedures are also lasting. The effect of suture lifts, however, varies according to the patient’s anatomy and is usually shorter in duration. Macrolane injections typically disappear within 1 year. Maintaining the surgical result also depends partly on the patient. Patients should pay attention to their weight, maintain skin care, and not neglect regular exercise.

What happens after buttock aesthetic surgery?

• Patients are usually discharged the same day. Patients who undergo buttock lift with skin excision may stay in the hospital for 1 day.
• Patients can generally shower after 2 days.
• Since all sutures are absorbable and placed under the skin, they do not need to be removed.
• Patients wear a compression garment during the first 3 weeks.
• Patients who have undergone buttock implant surgery need to sit carefully.
• Sports other than running may usually be resumed after the 3rd week.
• All activities are generally allowed after 6 weeks.
