With prosthesis or with fat?
The gluts are usually augmented with special silicone prostheses. However, in recent years we have performed lipofilling, a procedure that involves taking fat from the body of the patient and injecting it into the gluteal zone. In most cases it is better to combine the two techniques because fat completes the gluteal shape, since the prosthesis may be limited or incomplete.
Can I lean on the gluts after the procedure?
It is important after the gluteoplasty that you remain in prone position for the first two or three days. Thereafter you can then change your posture, but you will not be able to lie on your back until after ten days.
Are intramuscular injections allowed if I wear a gluteal prosthesis?
Yes. In slender patients it is not advisable to perform injections in this gluteal area. Despite the fact that the prosthesis is placed between the muscles, it is advisable to perform injections in another area of the body.
Are there any physical exercises that are prohibited after a gluteal prosthesis intervention? For how long?
During the first month after the operation, the patient should not perform exercises in which the gluteal muscle contracts or which involve violent movements where weight is rested on this area.
