One of the least easily modifiable
areas of the human body is the buttocks region; hardly affected
by weight training or dieting, it is easy to guess why many
people are looking for a way to change the appearance of their
buttocks. Thanks to the great advanced in technology, people
now have a great diversity of size and shape implants from
which to select from.
Which shape and size you choose depends
greatly on your needs and wants as well as on your body build
and constitution. If you are in average physical condition
or in good health, you are an ideal aspirant for this type
of procedure.
BetterLooks offers on of the best
teams of doctors in the industry and we are therefore aware
of the different types of needs our diverse patients have.
But no matter what you are looking for, we will provide you
with the best service and aid you in every possible way in
your pursuit to enhance your appearance.
Buttock implants are a certified
way to help you boost your confidence and to improve your
features. Keep in mind that buttock implants are designed
to enhance, not to provide perfection. Therefore, if your
outlook is realistic and you are searching for an augment
in your appearance, this type of plastic surgery
is the one for you.
For buttock enhancement, the certified
plastic surgeons at BetterLooks use a flexible silicone implant. Each
of these is custom made for the client to provide the best
results and to meet their needs. These solid implants are
easily placed between the gluteus medius muscle and the gluteus
maximus muscle. Keep in mind that these type of implant is
completely different from a breast
implant; the latter are solid silicone while
the former are fluid-filled sacks.
However,
recent progress in this type of surgery has allowed for the
implants to be placed under the muscle fascia and the gluteus
maximus; they are inserted so as to provide the utmost projection
in line with the pubis. In females, plastic surgeons
usually insert the implant 20% lower than in males,
since this gives a raised buttock and looks much better in
hip hugging jeans.
As with every other procedure, Better Looks requires that
their patients have a detailed discussion with their plastic
surgeon before the surgery is performed. By doing so,
both parties have the opportunity to contribute in the whole
process and to increase the client's level of satisfaction.
When speaking with your doctor, please feel free to talk openly
and to express your doubts as well as your expectations. Your
surgeon will help determine what isn't or what is possible
to accomplish, helping you to improve your looks in the best
way possible.
In this initial discussion, your
doctor will explain all that the surgery implies, from where
it will be performed, the cost of the procedure, the risks
it may entail, the recovery process and every other detail
so that you are completely informed. All the different aspects
of the surgery you are willing to undertake must be extremely
clear to you.
When preparing for your surgery in
Costa Rica, Better Looks will make sure to provide all the
best possible services during your procedure. We will arrange

Make sure to ask your doctor concerning
the diverse details that the surgery entails. For example,
you should know if you should stop taking certain medications
or if you will need to refrain from drinking or eating for
a certain time period before your surgery. It may be possible
that you will need to wash your face constantly before your
operation or you might need to stop taking certain vitamins.
Having
a good communication with your surgeon at all times will help
increase your level of satisfaction, therefore, please do
not hesitate to contact BetterLooks in Costa Rica since we will be more
than happy to help you with anything you need.
Full-body anesthesia is used in this
type of procedure and generally takes from 1 to 2 hours to
be performed. The approximate area where the implant will
be inserted is marked by the surgeon and incisions are usually
made in the inter-gluteal fold. Incisions are made carefully
betweem the gluteus maximus and the gluteus medios so as to
avoid the sciatic nerve.
In buttock enhancement, the client
usually seeks a harmonious, continous, S-shaped curved buttock
which is wider at the ups and has no dimples nor gives any
signs that an implant had been inserted.
Through the incision, the gluteus
maximus is lifted to create a large enough pocket for the
implant to fit into. Once it is fitted, the surgeon continues
work on the other buttock and examines both sides carefully
to make sure that the result is symmetric and natural-looking.
When
a satisfied effect is achieved, the doctor closes the incisions
with dissolvable stitches and a bandage is placed so that
the buttocks are compressed so that the level of discomfort
and swelling is reduced.
The bandages are removed a couple of days after the surgery
and once they are taken away, the patient can begin to move
around and to take showers. After 5 to days, you will be able
to walk, move and sit much more comfortably. Results become
evident immediately, since there is very little swelling and
bruising. But the natural contours and soft texture of the
buttocks return slowly during the following months. Keep in
mind that is generally takes from 6 to 8 months for the results
of the implant to feel as it they're part of you body and
eventually, you will forget that you even have them.
During
the first few weeks, you will need to refrain from participating
in strenuous activities such as exercise. This area of the
body is required for all type of movement (including sitting),
therefore, the level of pain experiences during the recovery
process of this cosmetic treatment can be high. To help you
with the discomfort, your doctor will prescribe some medications.
However, you can resume gym work, running and bicycling around
a month after the procedure.
As with any type of cosmetic
surgery, complications are unusual, but they sometimes
do happen.
In the case of buttock implants,
infection is extremely uncommon, but in the case of its occurrence,
it is treated with antibiotics during a five day period. Infection
can happen when an implant shifts slightly out of place and
further surgery can sometimes be needed to remove it temporarily
and to be replaced later on. However, keep in mind that these
cases are very rare and the certified surgeons at BetterLooks
always give their full efforts to prevent such difficulties
from occurring.
As it was previously explained, implants
are mostly manufactured from a solid silicone material. At
present, no scientific evidence has been given that proves
that this substance is harmful to the body. If you have any
concerns or question concerning the implants, feel free to
discuss them with your Better Looks doctor.
The
information given in this website should be considered as
an introduction to buttock implant surgeries. Before deciding
on submitting yourself to the procedure described above, we
highly recommend you contact BetterLooks directly, so we can
answer any specific question you might have.
