Surgical Procedure

A) Buttock Implants-

• This cosmetic procedure can be performedunder general anesthesia.
• The incision can be made toward the bottom in both of the gluteal creases (the areas where your "cheeks" meet the top of the thighs), incisions between both cheeks (hidden in the crease). The length of the incision and scar is directly related to the affected areas.
• A silicone implant specially made for the buttocks is inserted either in the muscle or above the gluteal muscle on each side.
• Surgical procedure may vary according to the type of implant, degree of correction required, body type & surgeon's advice.
• Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the buttocks tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin.
• The results of buttock augmentation are immediately visible. Over time, post-surgical swelling resolves and incision lines fade.
• As the healing continues, the surgical results keep improving.

B) Fat Grafting/Brazilian Butt Lift-

• This cosmetic procedure can be performed under general anaesthesia.
• Liposuctionis performed through small, inconspicuous incisions. First, diluted local anaesthesia is administered to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through the incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula. In general, up to three times the amount of fat than what will actually be injected into the buttocks is suctioned out.
• Fat Injection- Fat is purified and processed. The syringes are then connected to a special cannula. Using this cannula, fat is added to the buttocks through small injections all over.
• The results of buttock augmentation are immediately visible, but the final results are seen only after 6 months to a year after the surgery, as it takes a while for the fat to "take." This procedure offers natural-looking results, but the projection of the buttocks may decrease over time. Some of the initial volume experienced after fat grafting procedure fade as the fat is absorbed by the body, averaging to retain 60-80% of the transferred fat, in some cases more in others less.
• As the patient gains or loses weight, the results may change as the transferred fat can grow or shrink just as any other fat in the body.

C) Butt Lift-

• This surgical procedure requires extensive placement of incisions.
• Incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed, as well as surgical judgment considering placement of incisions in areas where it can be covered by clothes.
• This cosmetic procedure can be performed under general anaesthesia.
• One common technique of gluteal lift uses an incision just below the waist line and is commonly combined with an abdominoplasty incision in a body contouring procedure.
• Liposuction may be used for improved contouring as well. If it is determined by the surgeon to do an auto-augmentation, some of the tissue that is normally removed is strategically left in place hidden underneath the remaining skin.
• Another technique uses an incision just below the buttocks and is placed in the crease between the buttocks and the upper thigh. The excess skin and tissues are removed resulting in a more defined crease and sometimes smooths the skin of the back of the upper thigh.
• Deep sutures are placed supporting the skin.Skin incision is closed with absorbabale sutures.
• The results are immediately visible. However, the tissues will need to settle within the first 3-6 months and the incision lines can take up to a year to mature.

Risk and complications post-surgery

The complications and aftermaths of the surgery vary from person to person and their physical well-being. The factors which affect are poor circulation, a history of blood clots, diabetes or heart, lung or liver infection.

The Like every surgery, Butt Augmentation may involve some risks and complications which include:

• Rare risks related to General anaesthesia. Anaesthesia is very safe in present times and with best machines and a qualified anaesthetist, chances of encountering any complication is less than 0.1 percent in a healthy individual. We at Kayakriti Plastic Surgery and Dental centre are equipped with world class anaesthesia workstation, other equipments and two very qualified intensivists for the surgical procedures to be very safe and smooth.
• Seroma formation or fluid accumulation can occur which sometimes persists for a week.
• Rare chances of infection which might require prolonged antibiotic therapy.
• Bleeding and haematoma formation which might require drainage.
• Poor wound healing because of poor blood supply (mostly seen in smokers, people with high BMI, diabetics, hypothyroidism and in people with multiple diseases).
• Numbness or altered skin sensation can persist for 3-6 months.
• Scar will be in lower buttock area. It can get hypertrophied in few prone individuals.
• Very rare chances of skin loss or sutural dehiscence which might require resuturing.
• Persistent pain which subsides with time and slight medications.
• Prolonged swelling and skin discoloration which subsides with time.
• Rare event of Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary or cardiac complications can occur or precipitate in patients with multiple pre-existing diseases diagnosed or undiagnosed by routinely available standard tests and if multiple procedures are done in the same sitting.
• Rare possibility of fat embolism.
• Possibility of revised surgery if the results don't meet your desired expectations.

These are the risks and possible complications which should be discussed by you with Dr Amit Agarwal before the procedure.

The total benefits of Butt Augmentation will be seen after the swelling subsides.
