Gluteoplasty using Gluteal Implants -Plastic Surgery

GLUTEOPLASTY using Gluteal Implants - Dr. Ovidio Alarcón. Bucaramanga, en Santander - COLOMBIA
Surgery performed through the “intramuscular technique” which by means of a small incision in the interior fold of the inner gluteal zone creates a pocket in the main gluteal area with the object to insert a silicon implant.
When referring to Gluteoplasty, this technique is combined with liposuction of the adjacent zones to the mentioned area with the goal of obtaining as a result a more defined form Dr. Ovidio Alarcón makes the following comments in relation to this type of Plastic Surgery: “For this surgery I generally use oval shaped implants and with a volume between 180 and 340 cc. This type of implant allows a rounded result. Additionally these implants have been designed to support weight and there is no fear that they will tear easily; furthermore, intramuscular injections in that region are a contraindication. The scar is hardly noticeable as a result of the incision placed strategically under the buttock. After the operation the patient is required to sleep face down or sideways for the first three weeks and to wait for seating at least two weeks, seating should be done at a complete 90 degree angle. Possible complications are: unsatisfactory results due to asymmetry in the placement of the implants, seromas (collection of serum beneath the skin), hematomas, problems with the scar or capsular contraction. " This surgery is adequate for patients that wish to improve their gluteal contour providing it a greater volume and prominence, given the implant.
