What is Buttock Augmentation with Implants?

Buttock Implants (also known as Gluteal Implants) are recommended for patients who naturally have small buttocks or who have lost volume following significant weight loss. Unlike fat transfer (BBL), this technique uses high-cohesive silicone implants to create projection and shape, ideal for those with little available fat for grafting.

The implants are placed within the gluteus maximus muscle, ensuring a firm, natural result both in appearance and touch. The incision is discreetly hidden between the buttocks, making the scar nearly invisible.

Anesthesia & Surgery Duration

• Anesthesia: Epidural or general anesthesia

• Surgery Time: Approximately 2 hours (depending on individual anatomy)

Techniques for Buttock Augmentation in Dubai

The preferred technique used by Dr. Paulo Michels involves inserting the implant inside the gluteus maximus muscle. This intramuscular approach ensures:

• A natural look and feel

• Greater implant stability

• Reduced risk of capsular contracture

• Long-term comfort and durability

Types of Buttock Implants

There are various shapes, profiles, and textures of buttock implants available, each suited for specific body types and goals.

• Shape: Round or anatomical (depending on desired projection)

• Content: High-cohesive silicone gel

• Shell: Textured or smooth

Unlike breast implants, gluteal implants are thicker and more resistant, designed to withstand pressure from sitting, running, or lying down.

The ideal implant is selected during consultation, after evaluating the patient’s anatomy, desired projection, and lifestyle to ensure optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Hospital Stay

Most patients stay in the hospital for 24 to 48 hours for observation and initial recovery.

Postoperative Period & Recovery Care

Recovery after Buttock Augmentation requires specific care to ensure comfort, healing, and lasting results.

Postoperative guidelines:

1. Compression Garment: Wear surgical compression to reduce swelling and aid healing.

2. Hygiene: Maintain excellent hygiene; shower daily and dry the area with a clean towel.

3. Drain Care: Drains (if used) are typically removed within 2–3 days.

4. Positioning: Avoid lying on your back or putting pressure on the area for 21 days.

5. Rest & Activity: Light movement is encouraged; return to work after 2 weeks, and resume intense activities after 3 months.

6. Visible Results: Results are noticeable immediately, improving as swelling subsides over the following weeks.

Expected Results

The improvement in shape and projection is visible soon after surgery. Over the first two months, swelling gradually reduces and healing strengthens.

The final result is achieved around 6 months post-surgery, once scars mature and tissues fully adapt to the new contour — revealing a smooth, lifted, and naturally enhanced silhouette.

Possible Complications

Although rare, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as:

• Hematoma or infection

• Implant extrusion or displacement

• Capsular contracture

• Temporary discomfort or swelling

With Dr. Paulo Michels’ expertise, advanced surgical technique, and meticulous postoperative care, these risks are minimized, ensuring safety and satisfaction throughout your transformation journey.
