Buttock Sculpting
Buttocks are fascinating. Who wouldn't want sculptural buttocks worthy of being exhibited and admired in the Louvre? The desire to enhance the buttocks is a frequent desire of both women and men.
The buttocks translate sensuality. But they also translate youth and vitality.
The buttocks have different characteristics in men and women. This is a very important fact to avoid unwanted results.
In women, the most important characteristics conveyed by the buttocks are those of sensuality and fertility. Our gaze travels along the back observing a concavity at the junction between the lower back and the buttocks. This inward curvature is called lumbar lordosis and is of utmost importance for the impression of buttock projection (volume). Our gaze also travels along another concavity or inward curve that corresponds to the waist before reaching the hip, which defines the lateral part of the buttocks. These two inward curves are followed by two convexities or outward curves that give this characteristic of roundness that the buttocks possess. The greatest projection of the buttocks is located at the level of the pubis which is the bone that is found when we palpate the mons pubis. The buttocks end at the level of the fold that marks the separation with the leg. The characteristic of this fold is that the shorter and shallower it is, the more youthful and vital it is. An important feature for the naturalness of the aesthetics of the buttocks is that the diameter of the leg is similar to that of the buttock at the level of the union of these. Subsequently the leg will gradually reduce its diameter.
In men the most important characteristic conveyed are strength and vigor. Their buttocks have a different shape than those of women. Therein lies the importance of a customized surgery to avoid the common result of a woman's buttocks in a man. In men we have the same inward curve in the lower back that is followed with an outward curve. The most important and major difference is the absence of an inward curve at the waist and an outward curve at the hips. This difference culminates in a more rectangular buttock for men compared to the roundness we usually observe in women. Another less noticeable difference is that male buttocks present a depression or dimple at the lateral level of the buttock while females present a fuller buttock observing a roundness at that same level. In men the leg may have a slightly wider diameter than the buttock.
Contrary to the popular belief of exercising exclusively the gluteus to enhance it, the gluteus maximus muscle, which is the one we long to increase in volume with exercise, does not increase significantly. Its volume is approximately 2-3 cm wide and with exercise we can generally achieve a width of 4-5 cm. That is why we often hear models and even bodybuilders who despite considerable effort to improve their buttocks do not succeed. The major factor influencing gluteal projection is lumbar lordosis and hip angulation. However, these are congenital factors that we cannot change, so how can we enhance the buttocks? We perform liposuction to sculpt and beautify the contour of the buttocks: better define the waist and shape of the buttocks. Silicone implants are then used to improve the projection. These implants are different from the ones used in the cleavage design surgery They are firmer and there are no reported cases of patients with capsular contracture or cancer.
A buttock augmentation (BBL) procedure (BBL or buttock augmentation) is a surgery that is performed under deep sedation controlled by an anesthesiologist. It is an outpatient procedure, which means that the same day of the surgery you return home. The return to daily activities is done gradually in approximately 2 weeks. The most frequent complications, up to 5%, are a long healing time (because the incisions are located between the buttocks and because it is a humid region and not completely clean).
The price range starts at 5000 USD (it includes consultations before and after the procedure, the use of the operating room and supplies during the procedure, surgical and anesthetic team fees, as well as medications during recovery) and will be defined by the treatment plan suggested by your plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon. As we all know, not all dresses fit all bodies. At Kintsugi we do not look for generic results: we think like artists, plan like architects and execute like engineers. Just like with a dress, the result of your treatment is what people will see when they meet you. It's an investment in you.
Feel good about looking better!
