PATIENT PROFILE
People that wish to elevate or project their gluteus in a definitive way, like in breast implants when breasts are fallen.
Thin people that want more gluteus volume and do not have fat in another zone to make a lipofilling.
PROCEDURE
There are several ways to improve small, fallen and flaccid gluteus. One of them uses a sub-muscular prosthesis to achieve projection and elevation.
Prosthesis implant are based on providing gluteus symmetry and volume. Generally speaking, it is done bilaterally, but in some special cases implant volume can vary in regards to both glutei, depending on the symmetry of the area. These prostheses have a more cohesive gel than breast implants and are rounded, anatomic or oval shape.
Surgery is done with a small vertical incision with a size of 3 to 5 cm, at the intergluteal fold, in other words, the fold between the buttock’s cheeks.

After surgery, the patient may feel somewhat uncomfortable with mild pain. This discomfort is controlled by the use of analgesics and anti-inflammatories. The bandage along with the drains will be left in place for the first 24 hours and swelling may persist for some time. It is necessary to lie on your stomach for the first 24 hours, and then gradually resume normal activities. We advise according to each technique, the postoperative can be from 24h to 1 or 2 weeks. Then lean on the sides at bedtime until the swelling gradually subsides.
