Gluteoplasty to achieve the ideal butt

The national preference for the round and full butt leads many Brazilian women to the offices of plastic surgeons in search of gluteoplasty. The method, which consists of placing silicone prostheses specific to this region, aims to reshape or enlarge the buttocks.

The gluteus prosthesis is indicated for patients with small buttocks or for those who want the effect of buttocks. The new shape and size of the butt depends on the patient's original shape and aesthetic evaluation by the surgeon. In general, silicone in the butt gives a natural and anatomical aspect that can be noticed, especially when looking in profile. This is because the prostheses are malleable and fit the body well.

Plastic surgery on the buttocks is performed under epidural or general anesthesia with a small incision of approximately six centimeters in the groove between the buttocks. The scar is almost imperceptible.


As with any surgical procedure, gluteoplasty requires postoperative care. In the early days there may be local pain, so it is recommended to rest and take painkillers. Lymphatic drainage is indicated to accelerate recovery. Other precautions are to avoid sitting normally and prefer to lie on your stomach in the days following surgery and wear a modeling belt for a month.

Myths and Truths About Butt Silicone

Many myths surround the implants of silicone prostheses, especially when surgery is performed on the butt. Myths about butt silicone include that prostheses can get out of place and that they can break, for example, on a plane trip.

The list of truths about butt silicone is that after surgery the person will no longer be able to get an injection or vaccine in the area, as the medication can be injected into the prosthesis without being made for the body. The needle does not burst the prostheses, but may make micro holes that may cause the silicone gel to leak.
