What aspects are evaluated in the buttocks lift surgery preoperative evaluation?
The physician will evaluate those aspects that can be improved through the several different buttocks lift techniques. Anatomic and aesthetic considerations may include:
A-shape:
Better proportioned, this shape is characterized by having more fat in the lateral upper thigh and less fat in the lateral upper hip area.
V-shape:
This shape is reserved to those patients with a tall pelvis, very thin legs, and a tendency toward central obesity.
Square:
The square shaped buttock is characterized by equal volumes at the upper lateral hip area and the lateral leg area with a resulting square appearance.
Round:
The round shape is characterized by having excess fat at the mid buttock area. Patients with round-shaped buttocks have a tendency to be heavier than those with a square shape.
By analyzing the anatomic variations in both men and women, and evaluating the different gluteal types, the physician may identify the problem and design a surgical planning. Usually, patients must have a photographic examination which is crucial to help guide the treatment intraoperatively. Once the problem has been established, the physician may recommend a treatment and surgical planning.
Buttocks lifting may improve and correct the following aspects:
A serious and skilled surgeon will take meticulous measurements before surgery to avoid all possible complications. However, every surgery involves a certain amount of risk. It is important that you understand the risks involved in your particular procedure.
Some of the buttocks lift surgery complications include:
Subcutaneous placement of gluteal implants refers a high incidence of long-term complications. Subcutaneous placement involves, among other complications, palpability, visible margins of implant, excess mobility, displacement, ptosis, extrusion, bizarre appearance because of capsular contracture. For these reasons, Dr. Nieto recommend to use the intramuscular plane, in order to avoid these complications.
Since the buttocks are routinely subject to compressive forces, there is risk of implant failure. If it is commonly known the breast implant failure, it is not surprising that because of the position of the implant, gluteal implants involve a major problem. However, it is very important that the patient understands that today´s buttock implants are made of semisolid silicone elastomer, which is much more durable than the breast implant. Also, intramuscular plane placement of the implant reduces risk of implant failure.
Gluteal size and shape is a very important issue, especially for the Latin-American culture. Frequently, the new reveals sad situations related to plastic surgery procedures performed by non-medical personnel. Surgical practice requires a thorough knowledge of the human anatomy, and the gluteal region includes important structures that can be damaged by unskilled hands. It is always recommended to see a professional plastic surgeon when you are considering plastic surgery.
