Gluteal prosthesis

The gluteal prosthesises surgery - as any another one surgery of the specialty - is done aiming the well-being and the self-esteem to the patient.
The gymnastics, specially the located one for the gluteal region, is still the common way that offers good results to the gluteal region.
However, some racial kindshave habitually buttocks little projected, as the Japanese, German and Italian.
There are also women that even with the gymnastics do not obtain the volume desired for their bottom, due to the cited constitutional factors.
Other like to have it still bigger, even already had obtained a considerable increase.
There are some plastic procedures for the increase of the gluteuses. The most common are the liposculpture (injection of fatness in the region) and the implant of gluteal silicone prosthesis.
It is necessary to evaluate which is the better way to increase the gluteal region in individual consultation. Because the patient's physical type, anatomical aspect presented by the gluteal region, grade of flaccidity of the region and the needy volume will influence in the choice of the adequatest procedure to each case.
The advantage of the prosthesis about the liposculpture is in the fact of provide bigger volume to the region and have a lasting result. The increase produced is limited to two upper thirds of the bottom, soon above the line of pressure that is formed upon sitting down in a seat.
The gluteal prosthesises have volumes and forms varied.
The gluteal prosthesises are practically imperceptible, therefore are inserted about or between a much corpulent muscle (gluteal bigger), and this provides a natural enough result and satisfactory.
In cases where there is flaccidity associated to the limited volume of the buttocks, with folds of skin in the furrows next to the root of the thighs, is possible to remove a little of skin in the furrow for improve the result of the prosthesis.
There are also cases that the liposculpture in jodhpurs, hips and internal face of thighs can be associated to the placement of the gluteal prosthesis with good aesthetic result for the set.
This will be weel evaluated and discussed during the consultation with the patient.
The want of having a harmonious body is perfect healthy, but this must be balanced with responsibilities and possibilities as well.

The prosthesis' insertion is done through an incision in the furrow between the gluteuses, above the coccyx and put by bass or inside the maximum gluteal muscle that will protect the same.

Usually from 1 to 2 days.

Modarated to intense pain occurs in the first days, that is properly controlled by painkillers and anti-inflammatories prescribed.
Girdles need be used for 30 days.
The stitches are removed with 7 and 15 days.
During the 15 first days the patient must lay down to bed of side or of belly for bass.
After this period, is advisable the gradual return to the normal activities, leaving the physical exercises only for afterwards two months of post-operative.
Past that period, the located gymnastics and exercises for the gluteuses will be permitted with additional benefits.
It is important to know that the injections in the gluteal of the person that possess gluteal prosthesis is prohibited, in consequence of the risk of drilling of the same one. So, in cases of injected medicine, it will be stayed in the interior of the prosthesis and will not supply the desired effect.
The gluteal prosthesis is made with gel of silicone of high cohesiveness, thicker and resistant that the used in the breats. Because of it, its change is recommended after 20 years of use.
Due to occupy an area of big muscular movement and of pressure, the gluteal prosthesis presents little risk of encapsulate.
