How much does buttock augmentation with implants cost?
This is a frequently asked question since this aesthetic procedure has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years all over the world. And Portugal is no exception!
Buttock augmentation with implants, or buttock augmentation with implants, aims to increase the volume, and improve the shape of the buttocks, improving the patient's appearance and body proportion.
However, the costs associated with this plastic surgery can vary depending on several factors. In this article, we explore some of the main elements that influence the price of buttock augmentation with implants in Portugal.
Buttock augmentation with implants: what is it?
Buttock augmentation with implants, or buttock augmentation, is a plastic surgery procedure that aims to enlarge and remould the buttock area, improving its volume and projection and smoothing out skin irregularities.
This procedure uses round silicone implants, which are placed sub muscularly through an incision made in the upper part of the intergluteal fold (between the two buttocks).
Buttock augmentation with implants is indicated for people with small buttocks, sagging buttocks or buttocks with little volume.
Other indications for buttock augmentation include:
- muscle hypotrophy;
- correction of congenital deformities such as underdeveloped or atrophied buttocks;
- acquired deformities (accidents, tumours, retractions, among others);
- asymmetries or irregularities, and excess sagging skin.
Surgical buttock augmentation can also be carried out by injecting the patient with fat taken from another area of the body, known as liposculpture or lipofilling. Buttock augmentation can also be performed with a combination of implants and fat.
The appropriate procedure for each situation will be determined between the patient and the plastic surgeon during pre-surgery consultations, considering the patient's goals and body characteristics.
The size of the prostheses is also selected according to the patient's expectations and anatomy.
Firmer, rounder and more voluminous buttocks: a desire of more and more women
Having round, firm buttocks with volume and harmonious contours is increasingly the desire of many women in Portugal and around the world.
However, a sedentary lifestyle, the body's natural ageing process, weight fluctuations, the changes the body undergoes during pregnancy or a person's genetics can hinder this ambition.
Even with regular exercise and a healthy diet, genetics don't always help to give you defined, full buttocks. In these cases, the solution is to resort to plastic surgery.
Cost estimates:
Prices for buttock augmentation with implants in Portugal vary greatly, as several factors influence the final cost.
There is no fixed price, as it differs from clinic to clinic and from patient to patient, and depends on the technique and materials used.
However, to give you an idea, the cost of a buttock augmentation with implants starts at an average of 6,000 euros.
To find out the price of buttock augmentation surgery with implants for your case, you should book an assessment appointment.
