BUTT LIFT FOR MEN. COMBINE BUTT IMPLANTS AND FAT TRANSFER (LIPOFILLING)

Butt lift for men is done under general anaesthetic and the scar is concealed in the intergluteal cleft (natal cleft), at the sacrum coccyx level. The butt implant for men is placed in the intramuscular area. So, the edges are not visible and the result looks more natural. Doctor Jesús Benito usually uses butt implants made from cohesive silicone gel. They are usually flatter and more resistant than those used in breast augmentation. This allows the zone to withstand all the kinds of physical exercise that the patient could do.

Doctor Jesús Benito uses various techniques to reshape the area of the buttocks; some of these have been published in different scientific publications and presented at different international congresses. The choice of technique and the application of it will be agreed on with the patient, according to their needs and particularities. With these techniques, it is possible to reduce the fat in the zone, improve the contours, and rejuvenate the tissue or also to change the shape.

The butt implant is placed under the gluteus maximus muscle, in a way that it cannot be distinguished externally. The incision in buttock augmentation (butt lift) surgery is made in the crease between the two buttocks, as low as possible so that it is hidden.

The butt lift operation requires a two-night stay in the hospital and at least 10 days before returning to normal life. After butt lift surgery, it is very important not to exercise the buttock muscles for 5 weeks following the operation. After this time has passed and subsequent to the appropriate control, exercise can be resumed without any restrictions.

Patient cooperation is very important with butt lift for men, so that the scar is stable and the implant doesn’t move or cause asymmetries.

For this reason, the patient should follow the following behaviour guidelines in the weeks following the operation:

• The first two days, the patient will stay all day in the hospital lying face down.
• After the first two days, it is possible to get up, but for a week they should not be seated more than is necessary and when doing so to be careful not to squash the zone that has been operated on.
• They have to sleep face down for a few weeks.
• It is important to avoid any kind of physical exercise which involves using the buttocks for five or six weeks.

After butt lift, the implant is not rejected nor does it encapsulate. The risk of infection is low, although careful hygiene is required until the stitches are removed. Furthermore, it is necessary to take antibiotics for the first 10 days after the buttock augmentation intervention to minimize the risk of infection.

A patient who has silicone implants in the buttocks should tell medical personnel that intramuscular injections should not be put in their buttocks.

It is very important to remember that buttock augmentation should not be carried out with an injection of liquid silicone. The implant can be removed in case of complication or at the request of the patient. However, liquid silicone infiltrates into all tissue, has a higher rate of complications and is impossible to extract.

Butt lift surgery requires a surgeon with wide experience in this field.
