Buttock enlargement

Men and women who find their buttocks too small or too flat can consider a buttock enlargement. This is an esthetic procedure that changes the size and shape of the buttocks using buttock implants.

Buttock enlargement: the procedure

The buttock augmentation is done under general anesthesia and takes about one to two hours. An incision of about 5 centimetres is made between the buttocks at tail bone height. The implant is inserted along this incision and placed between the buttocks, resulting in rounder and fuller buttocks. The wound inside is sutured in layers with dissolving thread. For the skin, the plastic surgeon uses non-dissolvable sutures.

A buttock enlargement is sometimes combined with liposculpture of the adjacent body parts and a thigh lift.
