How much does buttock augmentation surgery 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 prostheses, or buttock augmentation with implants, its main objective is to increase the volume and improve the shape of the buttocks, improving the patient's appearance and body proportion.
However, the associated costs to this plastic surgery can vary depending on several factors. In this article, we explore some of the main elements that influence the prices of buttock augmentation with implants in Portugal.
Buttock augmentation surgery with implants: what is it?
The buttock augmentation with implants, Gluteoplasty, or buttock augmentation, is a plastic surgery procedure that aims to enlarge and remould the gluteal region, improving its volume and projection and smoothing out skin irregularities.
This procedure uses round silicone implants, which are placed submuscularly through an incision made in the upper part of the intergluteal fold (between the two buttocks).
Buttock augmentation with implants is recommended for people with small buttocks, sagging buttocks or buttocks with little volume.
Other indications for buttock augmentation include
- muscle hypotrophy;
- the correction of congenital deformities, such as underdeveloped or atrophied buttocks;
- acquired deformities (accidents, tumours, retractions, among others);
- of asymmetries or irregularities;
- excess sagging skin.
Surgical buttock augmentation can also be carried out through the injection of fat aspirated from the patient, This is known as liposculpture or lipofilling. Gluteoplasty 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, taking into account 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 own genetics can make this ambition difficult.
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 plastic surgery.
