• Buttock augmentation with implants
• Butt lift
• Thread butt lift
• Lipofilling of the buttocks
• Alternative methods of buttock correction

Everything in a person should be beautiful, and the gluteal region is a very important component of a beautiful figure, both female and male. But its shape does not always meet aesthetic standards due to a number of reasons: congenital structural features, injuries or chronic diseases that led to muscle dystrophy, sudden weight changes. Age-related changes also entail changes in the contour of the buttocks, displacement of the gluteal fold, loss of firmness and elasticity.

Currently, plastic surgery can offer various methods for correcting the shape, size and appearance of the buttocks, among which there are operating (surgical) and non-surgical methods.

Gluteoplasty (buttock surgery) is the general name for various surgical interventions aimed at changing the shape and/or volume of the buttocks. You can improve the shape and appearance of the buttocks using endoprosthetics, lifting, threads or lipofilling.

Macroline

Macrolane (Macrolan) is a drug based on hyaluronic acid. It is used for contouring of various areas of the body, including the buttock. This product has no analogues on the cosmetology market and is currently a unique drug, which is why its price is an order of magnitude higher than other products.

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide found in the human body. It ensures the normal functioning of all joints, support for turgor and skin elasticity. If there is a lack of hyaluronic acid, these tissues undergo degenerative changes. For cosmetic use, a synthetic analogue of this substance is used.

The main physiological role of hyaluronic acid is to maintain an optimal level of tissue moisture, since its molecules have the ability to combine with water, making the water thicker, preventing evaporation. However, hyaluronic acid molecules are absorbed quite quickly, which is why their regular replenishment is very important. In the absence of hyaluronic acid, the skin becomes flabby, sags, wrinkles form, that is, typical age-related changes occur.

The drug Macroline, used in contour correction, is produced in two forms:

• VRF 30 – used for injection directly into deep areas with fairly dense tissue, allows you to increase the volume of the buttocks;
• VPF 20 – used for injection into the superficial layers of the skin; The consistency of this drug is more liquid, it smoothes the skin, but is not suitable for adding volume to the buttocks.

Hyaluronic acid preparations have been used in cosmetology for quite a long time to correct age-related skin changes, allowing you to get a smooth, beautiful face. The drug Macroline was recently developed; its advantage is the ability to make the buttocks toned and firm without surgery and a long recovery period.

Clients who decide on this method of correction should be aware that buttock augmentation with Macroline injections does not provide as long-lasting an effect as surgery, since hyaluronic acid is absorbed over time. The volume of the buttocks will gradually decrease to its original state. That is why after a certain time it is recommended to correct the shape of the buttocks.

Macroline can be used not only for correction of the gluteal region: it is used for non-surgical breast correction, including in the presence of visible sunken contours after installation of implants. This allows you to achieve a more natural result.

Alternative methods of buttock correction

In addition to minimally invasive and surgical methods of giving the buttocks the desired shape and size, there are alternative methods, which include:

• The radio wave method is the effect of electromagnetic waves of a given power and duration on tissue. Recommended for cellulite.
• Myostimulation is the effect on the area of ​​the buttocks of pulsed currents of a given frequency and power. Microcurrents cause muscles to contract, gradually giving them tone.
• Vacuum massage refers to hardware techniques for cellulite removal. Often used as an alternative to traditional liposuction.

After such exposure, metabolic processes are launched, the production of elastin and collagen fibers increases.

All hardware techniques are indicated for use with minor changes in the tissue of the buttocks, and should be used regularly. There are almost no contraindications to the use of hardware methods.

What method to use to correct the buttocks is decided only by a cosmetologist after examining and determining the patient’s condition. We are waiting for you for a consultation!

Advantages and disadvantages

The use of hyaluronic acid preparations has a significant advantage: this substance is found in the human body, therefore it is not a foreign element. In most cases, Macroline is well tolerated, without rejection reactions.

Also, correction using Macroline has the following advantages:

• The correction is carried out under local anesthesia, as it is minimally invasive. General anesthesia required for surgical operations is not needed, therefore, contraindications and adverse reactions are minimized.
• After the injection of hyaluronic acid, no visible marks are left because no incisions are made.
• The rehabilitation period is short, and there is virtually no pain during the recovery period.
• The risk of complications is minimal, especially when correction is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon and with a detailed preoperative examination, and there are no contraindications.
• Temporary effect of the procedure. If the patient does not like the result, if with larger buttocks she does not look as attractive as she would like, there is nothing to worry about, because after a certain time the drug dissolves and the body takes on its previous shape. The client will be able to decide what shape she wants to have and whether it is worth using implants in the future.

Despite the obvious advantages, hyaluronic acid injections also have a number of disadvantages:

• In some cases, the ability of the drug to dissolve over time becomes a serious disadvantage, because the procedure is expensive, and clients want to get a long-lasting result. But enlarging the buttocks with hyaluronic acid injections does not give this effect, because the drug dissolves quite quickly. Frequent adjustments are necessary to maintain sufficient effect.
• If the drug is administered incorrectly, especially in large quantities, hyaluronic acid can migrate under the skin, resulting in the formation of noticeable skin bumps. When a large amount of the drug is administered, the skin may sag under its weight. However, these disadvantages are minimized by choosing a qualified specialist.
• For a long time after injections of hyaluronic acid, implants cannot be installed, since it is necessary to wait until the drug is completely eliminated from the body.
• With regular administration of hyaluronic acid in large quantities (and to increase the volume of the buttocks, a lot of the drug is needed), a gradual addiction develops, and the body reduces the production of its own hyaluronic acid, which can negatively affect the overall appearance: the elasticity and turgor of the skin is lost, it dries out, wrinkles form .

Even if the client is convinced of the need for hyaluronic acid injections and wants to try this type of correction, a preliminary examination is required before carrying out the manipulations: a series of laboratory tests to identify contraindications. Only after the examination can you begin any body correction procedure. If there are contraindications, the procedure is canceled, because both cosmetic defects and more serious complications are possible.

Operating principle

The principle of action of the drug Macroline is no different from other cosmetic fillers. First, it fills the voids due to its physical presence, and then begins to attract water molecules, which help maintain the achieved effect. It should be noted that the drug also promotes:

• maintaining optimal humidity;
• increased production of fibroblasts;
• improving skin tone.

Over time, hyaluronic acid is completely degraded and eliminated from the body.

Contraindications

Before performing buttock augmentation using Macroline injections, a consultation with a plastic surgeon is required. The specialist must be informed about the presence of any chronic or acute diseases, or intolerance to any drugs.

Macroline injections are contraindicated in the presence of the following conditions:

• Intolerance to hyaluronic acid;
• The presence of a burdened allergic history, especially anaphylactic shock in the past;
• The presence of ptosis of the gluteal region, since in such a situation the gel migrates;
• The period of pregnancy, natural feeding (during this period, no invasive cosmetic interventions are performed);
• Childhood;
• Autoimmune pathology (administration of the drug for autoimmune diseases can cause severe complications);
• Connective tissue diseases;
• Oncological diseases;
• Infectious processes;
• Blood clotting disorders.

Only in the absence of contraindications can a specialist recommend injection correction of the buttock area.

Possible complications

When increasing the volume of the buttocks with hyaluronic acid injections, some complications may develop:

• Pain syndrome: after the administration of Macroline, pain may persist when pressing in the area where the drug was administered, but in rare cases severe pain persists for a long time.
• Severe swelling. Typically, minimally invasive correction techniques do not cause severe swelling, but in rare cases this is possible; swelling can persist for several days. This condition is not dangerous, but the effectiveness of the procedure is somewhat reduced because the skin is stretched and the buttock area becomes not as firm as the client desires.
• When the procedure is performed by an unqualified surgeon in clinics where insufficient attention is paid to the sterilization of instruments and the requirements of asepsis and antisepsis, infectious complications are possible. This consequence can be mitigated by the correct choice of clinic and specialist.
• After administration of the drug, lumps may remain in the injection area, which will normally resolve within a few days or weeks while the gel is distributed subcutaneously. If the seals persist for a longer period of time, you should definitely visit a specialist.

Doctor's recommendations

Doctors believe that injections to enlarge the buttocks are not harmful. And because Since the procedure has a minimal number of contraindications, doctors are showing interest in these injections.

Doctors' recommendations are mainly to avoid injection abuse. Quite often, women, in pursuit of beauty, forget about the boundaries of what is available and try to improve their body more and more. That is why many doctors reserve the right to refuse a patient to undergo the procedure.

Progress of the procedure

Before enlarging the buttocks with the help of Macroline stakes, the doctor conducts a detailed conversation with the client, and a preoperative examination is carried out to exclude negative reactions in the future. Before the procedure, the doctor applies markings to the skin in the area where the drug is administered. This allows you to predictably obtain the optimal effect.

Since the injection of hyaluronic acid is quite painful, because the tissues in the injection area are injured, local anesthesia is performed before it is performed. The drug is injected quite deeply using thin needles. The entire procedure lasts about an hour, after which patients must remain under medical supervision for some time. If there are no complications, you can go home the same day.

After the intervention, moderate pain in the area of ​​drug administration, slight swelling, and hematomas are possible. If these phenomena are too pronounced, you should consult a doctor. During the rehabilitation period there are certain recommendations and restrictions: it is necessary to wear compression garments, but this is not mandatory; After the procedure, you cannot massage the buttock area, as migration of the gel is possible.

Efficiency of Macrolane gel administration

The effect of the procedure for correcting the volume of the buttocks with Macroline lasts for a period of about two years, for a longer period - extremely rarely. Sometimes the achieved effect disappears after a few months, and then correction is necessary. If the client wants to get a more lasting result, it is advisable for the plastic surgeon to recommend a different method for correcting the volume of the buttocks. However, a significant advantage of injection correction is the opportunity to test the result, evaluate how comfortable it is with such volumes, and decide on further tactics.

Preparation

No medical procedure can be completed without careful preparation. So, before giving injections to enlarge the buttocks, preparation is required.

To begin with, the doctor who will perform the procedure must prescribe an examination in the form of tests. If, as a result of blood and urine tests, no contraindications to injections are revealed, the doctor gives strict recommendations for the next two weeks before the procedure:

• Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages;
• Limit the number of cigarettes you smoke (or better yet, give up nicotine altogether);
• If you are taking blood thinning medications, you should stop taking them for 14 days;
• Eliminate diets, the diet should be optimal;
• Exposing your skin to tanning, both natural and artificial, is also prohibited.

Having fulfilled all the conditions and decided with the doctor about the desired volume of the butt and real expectations, you can begin the procedure itself. Injections must be given by a qualified specialist who knows the technique of performing butt lifting.

Reviews

Reviews about the procedure are mixed. Here are some quotes from real patient reviews:

“I’m planning to enlarge my buttocks, but I’m afraid of the feeling of something foreign inside.”

“I saw a girl in the gym locker room whose implants were clearly visible in her buttocks. After that I changed my mind about doing it.”

“I don’t regret the money spent, the result is worth it, my butt has become luxurious!”

“Three months of suffering in the recovery period, and now I see my protruding implants. It’s a pity about money and health!”

“And my implant has completely shifted...”

“After the operation, the buttocks remained flabby, vague in shape, and there was no promised elasticity.”

“I’m very pleased with the results, my dream of a gorgeous butt has come true!!!”

It is worth considering that in 80% of cases complications after surgery occur due to the fault of the surgeon. Therefore, before installing implants in the buttocks , make sure that the doctor is qualified and has sufficient experience.

  I really want to enlarge my buttocks, but I’m afraid that something will always interfere with me. Maybe the implant will turn over inside me, what’s even worse is that the implant will fall at my feet. Or maybe it will just burst inside my buttocks and I will die from this liquid!!!!!!!!!!!!

TYPES OF IMPLANTS

Currently, buttock replacement is performed using the following types of implants:

• round and anatomical, or teardrop-shaped (difference in shape);
• with silicone gel and saline solution (difference in filler);
• smooth and textured (difference in shell texture).

The silicone gel in buttock implants always has a high degree of density. This quality distinguishes them from breast prostheses, which can be filled with gel of varying degrees of viscosity (cohesiveness). This property also makes it possible to guarantee the unchanged shape of the implant and prevent leakage of the gel if the shell is damaged. Another difference between gluteal endoprostheses and breast implants is that the former have a thicker and more dense shell that can withstand compression, pressure and stretching well. This measure was taken by manufacturers due to the fact that buttock implants are usually subject to greater stress than breast implants.

Today, gluteal endoprostheses are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, which allows the doctor to choose an implant that ideally matches the general proportions of the patient’s body and the anatomical shape of his buttocks. Thus, round endoprostheses can have different base diameters, as well as high, medium or low profile. Anatomical prostheses vary not only in projection, but also in the width and height of the base. Currently, manufacturers offer buttock implants in other shapes, in particular microtextured, oval, with a concave bottom surface, biconvex and others. However, in the vast majority of cases, as statistics show, when performing gluteoplasty, round or anatomical prostheses with a smooth shell surface are used. As a rule, the need for implants of a special shape or non-standard size arises extremely rarely. The fact is that the specialist has the ability to place a round or anatomical prosthesis exactly as required by a specific clinical situation. For example, a round implant can be installed in the upper zone of the buttocks, in their lower zone, or in the middle. A teardrop-shaped endoprosthesis is implanted not only strictly vertically, but also at an angle, as well as with the vertical end up or down.

Question answer

You may be able to “feel” your butt implants when you sit for a while after surgery. But later, the implants are usually included in the image of your body, and after a while they are perceived as part of the buttocks. In other words, your brain considers them part of your body. The same thing happens with breast implants, which simply become a “part” of the body after a few months of implantation.

If done correctly, butt implants should not be noticeable. To ensure the success of your procedure, be sure to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience. Although even if the operation was performed by a professional, you can feel the implant. If you want to get a natural feeling, just pay attention to lipofilling (injection of fat). This procedure can give a natural feeling.

Buttock implants don't rupture because they are not like breast implants: they are completely solid and not filled with something.
