The Procedure
What type of procedures may be performed through buttocks lift?
As every person is different, according to the gluteal shape, tone and projection the patient may require:
Liposuction
Liposuction is frequently used in those patients who have acceptable gluteal projection and volume, but have excess fat at the paralumbar and supra and infragluteal regions. Liposuction may improve contour by removing those fat deposits that causes disproportion.

Implants
Implants are frequently used in those patients with adequate volume and lack of projection. The round, small-based gluteal implants provide adequate anteroposterior projection with no further side-to-side projection. Liposuction may be used as a complementary procedure. Oval-shaped gluteal implants with a wide base and low profile may improve the shape of buttocks with adequate projection but no volume. Both implants and techniques may vary or being combined to achieve optimum results.

Dermocutaneous adjustment
For some patients with excess skin, particularly obese patients that have lost weight or those post-bariatric patients, it is not possible to correct these defects solely with the use of liposuction or gluteal implants. In these cases, it is necessary to remove the redundant skin before considering other treatments.
Type of implants
What the gluteal implants? What type of implants does exist?
The gluteal implants are medical devices made of synthetic material that improve or correct the shape of buttocks. There are gluteal implants of different volume and dimension. These implants have an exterior sac or implant shell made of silicone elastomer and are filled with silicone gel.
There are round-shape and oval-shape implants and come in either a smooth or textured surface and are used for aesthetic or reconstructive purposes.
