Certain types of cosmetic defects in the gluteus, like the absence or reduction of the projection, shape, contour and volume are the main indications for gluteoplasty increased by lipoinyección or by placement of silicone implants in the gluteus.
Today, with the changes in the fashion preferences and society’s esthetic norms, the interest in buttock contouring surgery by patients and plastic surgeons has increased.
The greatest desire of the patients, besides improving the contour and volume of their gluteus is to have safer procedures, which undoubtedly has been enhanced by the refinement of techniques in liposuction, management of fat grafting, as well as by lipoinyección.
It is critical that patients know that there are only two methods of buttock augmentation: lipoinjection which is the fat grafting of the same patient. And the increase in the gluteus by silicone implants. Any other substance, method or mechanism has not resulted in being safe and there are no studies showing satisfactory results.
The fat is obtained by liposuction of fat deposits from different regions, such as the abdomen or the back, achieving a flat stomach by liposuction and then use that same fat to embellish the gluteus. Of course, in very thin patients without fat deposits of adequate volume, the lipoinyección technique is not recommended, rather the buttock implants.

What is the medical term for butt augmentation in?
Gluteoplasty, is the term used to refer to cosmetic procedures in the gluteus.
Who is a candidate for such an increase?
Almost anyone of legal age. What is important are the expectations of each patient, since the results are not the same in everyone. Some people bring a picture from a magazine of how they would like them, which not always can be reproduced, since each body has its own characteristics. What we do is ensure our patients that we will do everything necessary within the safety protocols for their gluteus to be as beautiful possible.
Until what age is an increase the gluteoplasty possible?
There is no specific age, but after 60 years the results are not the same as the in the 20, 30, 40 and even 50. After 60, the tissues are very flaccid and maybe not worth doing.
What safe methods exist for this intervention?
The main and only safe techniques are twofold. The gluteoplasty by lipoinyección, which is a transfer of the same fat (adipose tissue) of the patient, and gluteus implants of cohesive silicone gel for those without adiposity (fatness or “chichos”). No other method is safe, and serious complications can occur with the injection of substances or products other than the foregoing options.
Does lipoinyección apply to everyone?
Fat grafting is applicable to almost everyone, but there are specific indications and is possible that in patients with excessive flaccid skin of the gluteus the best result is not obtained. As an expert, I always take into account the expectations of the patient and explain to the patient what can be obtained in their specific case. While we achieved remarkable results, plastic surgery is not magic.
How long is the procedure?
The procedure by lipoinyección includes liposculpture and obtaining fat for modeling of the upper, lower and lateral zone of the gluteus. Regularly lasts from one to two hours.
The recovery process, like most cosmetic procedures, takes 10 to 15 days. After this period, patients can carry out their routine activities, delaying for after one month practicing exercises, the beach or sun taking.
What is called latrogenic allogenosis?
It’s a new disease that arises from the introduction to the body of foreign substances. In addition to products for the gluteus, elsewhere, as on the face, botox may be used.
Is the buttock augmentation final?
Usually it remains in time, when it is a lipoinyección, if the patient increases or loses weight after the procedure; likewise, the size of the gluteus can increase or decrease in size. When it’s a silicone implant, it remains regardless of the weight.
Do men also have a choice?
Of course, the same. More and more men come to improve their physique … including that part.
Most importantly, is your safety: that’s why in all plastic surgery we indicate at least ten laboratory tests including an electrocardiogram, thorax radiography, pre-anesthetic evaluation, cardiovascular and respiratory evaluation. It is also recommended to go to a specialist accredited by the relevant institutions which in our country are the Sociedad Dominicana de Cirugía Plástica, the Colegio Dominicano de Cirujanos and the Colegio Médico Dominicano.
