Nowadays it is possible to increase the size of our buttocks using silicone prostheses or through fat infiltration. There is a third option, which is the infiltration of hyaluronic acid called Macrolane, which has the advantage of not requiring surgery or scars, but the disadvantage of being completely reabsorbed in 1-2 years. The decision as to which technique is most suitable for you will be made at your first consultation with Dr. Forcada. In our usual practice we associate the implantation of a prosthesis with lipoinfiltration, which allows us to enhance and round out the gluteal contour.

The intervention is performed in an operating room, under general anesthesia. There are different techniques and different planes (subfascial, intramuscular, submuscular). In your particular case, the technique will be discussed previously, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each one. The operation lasts between 1 and 2 hours, although depending on the complexity of the case it may last longer.
It is important to know that the results of this intervention depend directly on the postoperative period. During the three days after the operation, it is a priority to maintain bed rest, except for going to the bathroom. Walking begins on the third day, although it is still necessary to sleep face down (prone position) and avoid sitting for long periods at least until the 3rd week.
