Buttock augmentation in San Francisco can improve the overall appearance of the backside by adding fullness to underdeveloped areas and creating symmetry and balance to the body profile.
What is Buttock Augmentation?
This surgical procedure involves the placement of implants into the tissue of the buttocks to add size and volume to the backside. The implants are crafted of a biocompatible, soft silicone gel that looks and feels similar to natural tissue. Different sizes and shapes are available, allowing the plastic surgeon to customize the implants to the unique body shape and desired results of each patient. Implants are placed into the buttocks through an inconspicuous incision in the buttock muscle known as the gluteus maximus. Once the implants are in place, incisions will be closed using tiny sutures to minimize post-operative scarring. In some cases, the buttocks will be surgically lifted into a more youthful position as well during the procedure. Butt augmentation is typically performed on an outpatient basis and may be done using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The choice of anesthesia will depend on a number of factors and will be discussed with the plastic surgeon at the time of the consultation. A buttock lift usually takes 1-2 hours to complete.
