Chin Advancement (Advancement Genioplasty)

Overview of the surgery:

Chin Advancement (Advancement Genioplasty) is one of the most advanced, precise and sophisticated types of chin surgery to take the lower front part of your chin and bring it forward.  This procedure is more involved than placing a chin implant and requires making incisions in the bone and also stabilizing it at the end with space age technology of rigid fixation.  In some cases bone grafting in front and the top of the chin plate may be necessary to create an attractive final results. 

Duration of the operation:

The procedure will take approximately 30 minutes to perform

Post operative care:

Antibiotics are prescribed to control infection and swelling.  Cold compress will be applied to face for 24 hours. Your chin will be taped following surgery. Do not remove the tape and reinforce it with additional tape if needed. Take your medications on time and finish the course of treatment. For the first day, liquid food is advised, cold food for 24 hours then soft food for the next five days. Rinse your mouth three or four times a day with warm salted water may brush your teeth if the brush is soft and you are quite careful to keep the bristles away from the stitches.  

Recovery period:

The recovery takes one to two weeks. Most people are back to work within a week or two. We encourage our patients to return to work as soon as they can within few days after surgery.

Possible risk and complications:

As with any surgery, there is always a possibility of complications following chin surgery, including infection, bleeding, a reaction to the anesthesia, hematoma (localized swelling filled with blood resulting from a break in a blood vessel), seroma (a mass or swelling), extrusion (the implant works its way back up to the skin surface), capsular contracture (excess tightening of the scar tissue) which may distort the implant, asymmetry, nerve damage and bone erosion.

Anesthesia use:

Local Anesthetic (while you are awake), combined with a sedative to make you drowsy. You'll be awake but relaxed.

Hospital admission:

This procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis.

Preparation before Surgery

• Avoid aspirin, any aspirin containing medication or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as Motrin or Advil, for one week prior to treatment. Because aspirin thins the blood, it can interfere with normal blood clotting and increase the risk of bleeding and bruising
• Smoking inhibits the healing process, so stop smoking before your procedure and if you start again, make sure it is after you are completely healed
• Avoid drinking alcohol a few days before your surgery
• Make sure to not to eat or drink for at least 8 hours prior to your surgery
• Make sure that you arrange for someone to bring you home
• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the individual's bone structure.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Augmented Rhinoplasty (Nose Augmentation)

Augmented Rhinoplasty is very common among Asians and non-Caucasians to correct a flat nose with a round bulbous tip and flaring nostrils. The aim is to build an aesthetically pleasing nasal bridge with an elegant projection and well defined nasal tip, and at the same time narrow the flaring nostril base. An implant is usually used.

The implanted material is biocompatible and extremely safe. Incisions are made inside the rim of the nostrils. Soft tissues of the nose are then separated from the underlying structure to create the appropriate space for nose implant projecting the nasal tip and increase the height of the nose.

Of all the procedures performed by plastic surgeons, rhinoplasty is the most challenging. And it is with this procedure that society judges you by its shape and the skills of the surgeon because the nose is the first thing you see when you look at someone. There is no way to hide the nose, before or after the procedure. Noses are so variable in size and shape that it is hard to define what is normal. Every nose is different and every result should be different, fitting the patient’s face.

Nothing defines your appearance quite like your nose. Like it or not, people identify and even judge you by its shape and size. If your nose overwhelms your other features, it can hamper your self confidence by affecting your looks. That’s especially true if you are transitioning from your birth gender as a male to your new gender as a female. Having the nose that is bigger and wider than the small, narrowed version found in most women can ruin the feminine identity you wish to project. Can it be changed? Yes. By reshaping your nasal contours, rhinoplasty is one of the most important operations in facial feminization.

If you’re a transgender individual, your nose presents one of the most obvious facial challenges to your feminity. Distinct differences are found between the sexes. First, male nose are larger in every aspect than in female noses. They’re longer and wider with larger nostrils and generally bulkier tips than those features in women. Second, a man’s nose points either ahead or slightly downward at the base, as opposed to a woman’s nose which points slightly upward at its base. The female bridge in some ethnicities also “scoops” or dips before sloping gently straight downward or into a slightly upturned tip. 

Third, and perhaps most important, the angles between the nose and the forehead, and between the nose and the upper lip tend to be sharper in men than woman. As a male you may not have the chiseled profile but your nose likely projects off your forehead in a more abrupt way. You may even sport an unsightly bump, called a dorsal hump.

In changing our nose to fit your new gender, your surgeon will make sure that it not only slopes gently from your forehead but also is free of any humps or bumps. He or she will also downsize and resculpt until this part of your face fully reflects your new identity.

Temporal Fossa Augmentation

The temporal fossa is located above your cheekbones, just to the side of your eyes. It is the shallow depression of your skull.

You know it as your temple. Created by an underlying pair of cranial or temporal bones, it houses the temporalis muscle, one of the strong muscles necessary for chewing. If you take away the muscle, you are left with a space called the temporal fossa. Normally, this indentation is a discreet hollow just below and behind your forehead. But if the depression is so pronounced that it makes you look sickly or gaunt, you may want your surgeon to fill it in. Augmenting a temporal fossa depression isn’t a necessary step in feminizing your face, but it will add immensely to a healthy, feminized look. 

There is no difference between the sexes when it comes to an exaggerated temporal fossa depression. Even though I have treated only one woman with a significant indentation, I believe strongly that a deeply concave or inwardly curved space has nothing to do with gender. Whether you are a man or a woman, a pronounced hollow just behind your lateral orbital rims, the bony ridges to the side of your eyes, can have a significant effect on your facial aesthetics. This hollow can make you appear starving when you are well fed. Although the majority of the people don’t have a temporal fossa depression that merits attention, it is not an uncommon occurrence.

The degree and precise location, however, can be variable. The depression also isn’t necessarily symmetrical or the same on both sides. When it does exist, augmenting the space can offer many aesthetic benefits. Improving the contour can create a more appealing look.

Mandibular Angle Reduction (Reduction Angleplasty)

Mandibular Angle Reduction is usually done to individuals who have wide jaw line or square face. It reduces the width of the lower face and change a square face to an oval one.

This procedure can enhance the masculine features, in men while in women it can give an impression of strength and confidence. In some, however, the jaw can be disproportionately wide as compared to the rest of the face or zygomas and mandibular angles are overly prominent that upsets the balance of the face.

This is one reason for aesthetic Mandible Angle Reduction. The incision is commonly done inside the mouth which means the scar will be invisible.

Lower Jaw (mandibular) angle surgery/ Mandibular Angle Reduction/ Gonioplasty

A protruding or receding lower jaw can markedly decrease the aesthetic results of your facial feminization surgery. If your mandible doesn’t match your maxilla (upper jaw), and/or disproportionately wide as compared to the rest of the face, that upsets the balance of your over all facial profile. Thus, lower jaw (Mandibular) Surgery is an important step in facial feminization surgery.

Thyroid Cartilage Reduction/ Adam’s apple Removal

Adam’s apple is a feature of the human neck that is characterized by a protrusion formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx. During puberty stage, thyroid cartilage elongates eventually much larger in males than in females. Because this protrusion on the neck is so a distinctive characteristic of an adult male, it may cause you great concern. Yet, Adam’s apple can be reducing in size by a Thyroid Cartilage Reduction procedure transforming from masculine to feminine remarkably.

Lower Jaw Tapering- Angle Reduction/ V-line mandibular Angle Contouring

Tapering the mandible or lower jaw is an important step in facial feminization surgery. Women have more tapered and narrower lower face. Men have considerably prominent jaw line rendering a wide, square face which enhances the masculine features. With these differences, the surgery is essential in transitioning from male to female. Thus, improving femininity and eliminating obvious masculinity.

It allows for reduction of the chin to a more slender and oval shape without increasing its length. The surgery also reduces the overly strong bone flanking each side of the chin, thus transforming the more masculine U shape to a sharper and more feminine V shape. The chin line is excised into a smooth line. The chin end can be brought together without touch of the nerve. The protruding parts in both sides of the mandible are excised. The narrowed chin end produces the wholly oval V-line face type.

Chin Reduction

The chin is one of the most important features in gender identification. It is so different between the genders. In men, chins are vertically higher and wider than in women. The chin is the front portion of the mandible or lower jaw and the point on the lower face.

Chin reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces the size of the chin by shaving down the bone through an incision made in the lower gums. Chin reduction surgery begins with the surgeon making an incision inside the mouth (near the lower lip) or under the chin. Using specialized instruments, the surgeon detaches the bone at the tip of the chin and then reshapes and removes the excess bone to properly proportion the contour. The tip is then repositioned with the remaining section of chin and held together using wires and plates. The incisions are sutured to complete the procedure.

Malar Bone Reduction/ Cheek Bone Contouring

Cheek Bone Reduction is not a common procedure in transgender individuals among Caucasians, Hispanics or African Americans whose wide cheek structure is regarded as very attractive while in Asian individuals this is a very popular procedure since an oval-shaped face is considered to be more aesthetically pleasing and desirable.

Reduction Malarplasty is performed on patients with large cheek bones by either of two techniques. The first involves using a special drill to burr down or shave the excess bone at the zygomatic arch, the bony ridge that extends from beneath the eye socket along side the skull lateral to the temporal fossa. The second involves cutting out an appropriate amount of the zygomatic anterior arch, rotating or turning the lateral arch inward and securing with a small plate and two tiny screws. Both approaches maybe use depending on the problem.

Forehead Contouring

You can easily tell the difference between male foreheads from female ones. Covering a large portion of the face, the forehead shows a markedly different contour and projection in men than in females, although most people don’t realize how their forehead is shaped or even protrudes from the face.  

A female forehead shows a smooth and even surface while male forehead exhibit a pronounced brow bossing with greater hooding over their eyes and projects farther forward in front of the eyes.

Since the forehead contour is a distinct sign between both genders, forehead contouring is an important step in facial feminization surgery, thereby, creating a more naturally feminine appearance.

Scalp Reduction/ Scalp advancement

The foreheads and scalps are facial features that show more clearly whether a person is a male or a female. Male foreheads are remarkably different from female ones. Naturally, the distance from the hairline down to the eyebrow at the mid pupil line in males averages 2.6 inches in contrast to about 2 inches in women.

High hairlines and vertically long foreheads are generally accepted in males but not fashionable in females, therefore scalp reduction is performed as part of facial feminization surgery.

With scalp reduction, the portion of the scalp area is removed then pulled together, thereby shortening the forehead and minimizing the receding hairline. The best candidates for this procedure are individuals who suffer from male pattern balding and those who wanted to look more like a woman.

Conjunctival Incision Blepharoplasty

Overview of the surgery:

Conjunctival Incision Blepharoplasty is another type of cosmetic procedure used to remove pocket of fat beneath the lower eyelids but not tightening or removing the skin. Incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid. Excess fat and muscle are removed (no tightening or removing of skin). Incision is closed with self-dissolving sutures or they will heal naturally without sutures.

Duration of the operation:

Conjunctival Blepharoplasty generally takes about one to 2 hours to complete.

Post operative procedure:

After surgery, the physician will lubricate your eyes with ointment to reduce dryness in this area. Your vision may be blurred temporarily from the ointment. The first evening after surgery, you should rest quietly with your head elevated. It will help to apply cold compresses to your eyelids. Your blood pressure should be monitored to avoid bleeding complications that can affect vision. And, although you can be up almost immediately, you should limit your activities.

Recovery period:

In general, bruising and swelling are less than with other types of eyelid surgery, and recovery is rapid. A small amount of residual swelling, however, will persist for some months and resolve very gradually.

Possible risks and complications:

Significant complications from aesthetic eyelid surgery are infrequent. As with any surgical procedure, however, there is always a possibility of infection, or reaction to the anesthesia, bleeding behind the eye, temporary problems with excessive tearing, and decreased sensation in the eyelid, dry eyes, prominence or firmness of the scars, blurred vision, and asymmetry in healing or scarring, difficulty closing eyes completely; in rare cases. You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your plastic surgeon, both before and after your eyelid surgery. Pre-existing conditions can also put you at risk. They include thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism, insufficient tear production or dryness of the eye, elevated blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Anesthesia use:

Local anesthesia with oral or intravenous sedation

Hospital admission:

It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Conjuctival Incision blepharoplasty can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Preparation before Surgery

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Lateral Eyebrow Lift

Overview of the surgery:

Lateral Eyebrow Lift corrects the drooping of the outer brow line. This technique is also known as a temporal brow lift, and addresses sagging around the outside of the eyebrow almost exclusively. Lateral brow lifts can be performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty or other procedures.

During a lateral brow lift, incisions are placed in the hairline at the temples towards the sides of the face. The lateral brow lift removes excess skin, lifting the outer corners of the forehead. Unlike a traditional brow lift, a lateral brow lift will not raise the middle of the brow, but it will somewhat alleviate crow's feet (the creasing at the outer corners of the eyes). Lateral brow lifts are ideally suited to prospective patients who are only concerned with the drooping of the ends of the eyebrow.

Duration of the operation:

The procedure normally takes about 20-30 minutes.

Post operative care:

When your procedure is completed, your forehead may be taped and your head may be loosely wrapped with a soft compressive dressing usually for 1-2 days to minimize swelling and bruising. A thin tube may be present to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect under the skin. You may experience little or no postoperative pain for the first few days. Analgesic medications for pain and antibiotics to prevent infection will be prescribed.

Recovery Period:

Swelling in the eyelids can be profound but is usually short lived. Most patients can go back to work in about a week. Sutures or staples maybe remove at 5-7 days post op.

Possible risk and complications:

Complications are rare; however, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Some patients may not be able to move their eyebrows or forehead. Scar formation and permanent hair loss within the scar area may occur. Permanent lack of sensation at the incision line is also a rare complication. Infection, bleeding, and other minor complications are possible.

Anesthesia use:

Most brow lifts are performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Hospital admission:

Lateral Brow Lift can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.

Preparation before Surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.

Incisional Suturing Technique

Overview of the surgery:

Incisional suturing technique is the type of cosmetic surgery procedure where the skin around the eye is reshaped to create an upper eyelid with a crease (double eyelid) from an eyelid without a crease (single eyelid). The method of suturing is the most common in Asian double eyelid surgery. The skin is incised with a scalpel at a desired height. A small strip of skin above this initial incision is excised using scissors. The incision is carried deeper into the eyelid through the orbicularis muscle and orbital septum until the orbital fat is exposed. Small strips of muscle and fat are excised. The final crease height and shape are the result of both selective tissue removal and precise internal tissue rearrangement. The incisional approach is considered the "gold standard" in Asian double eyelid surgery.

Duration of the operation:

The surgery lasts less than an hour.

Post operative care:

After your surgical procedure is already completed, cold compress and lubricating ointment may be applied to the surgical area to control the discomfort of swelling, bruising, dryness of the eyes, and in some cases your eyes may be loosely covered with gauze.

Recovery Period:

Sutures are placed and removed anywhere from 5-7 days after surgery and will usually take about 7-10 days recovery period. Activities and exercise can be resumed about 1 month after surgery.

Possible Risks and complications:

Complications are rare, however, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Possible complications include Ptosis (asymmetrical eyes), hollow eyes wherein too much fat were removed that will result to incapability of the patient to close eyes fully and scarring. These risks can be easily corrected with surgery

Anesthesia Use:

Incisional suturing technique can be performed under local anesthesia with minor sedation or with general anesthesia.

Hospital admission:

Incisional Suturing Technique can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.

Preparation before the surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.

Non-Incisional Suturing Technique

Overview of the surgery:

Non-Incisional Suturing technique is a minimally-invasive method that employs two sutures on each upper eyelid that are tied in three places and twisted around each other four or five times at the central tie. The threads can be tightened and the drooping upper lid can be elevated to a better position in more secure and therefore longer lasting results with no dissection of eyelid tissues is required.

Duration of the Operation:

The procedure can be done quickly, usually 15-30 minutes.

Post operative care:

You should rest preferably in bed on two pillows or in a recliner.  A bandage over the eyes is not needed. In the evening, you may take a bath. Avoid straining or bending over.  Watching television is acceptable. Apply clean (not sterile) cold compresses to the eyelids to prevent swelling. Pain after surgery is usually mild. You will be given pain medication.

Recovery Period:

It is normal for the eyelids to become red, swollen, and bruised for a few days and will gradually subside.  A small amount of bloody fluid draining from the wound is normal for a few days.  If you were given an antibiotic drop or ointment, gently apply a small amount to any stitches before going to bed, and then twice a day thereafter. 

Possible risk and complications:

Complications are rare; however there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Possible complications include: infection, bleeding (rare), uneven skin scars, asymmetry in healing, tissue injury, crease loss is common. You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your plastic surgeon, both before and after your eyelid surgery.

Anesthesia use:

General anesthesia or local with sedation

Hospital admission:

Non-Incisional Suturing Technique can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.

Preparation before Surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Open Upper Blepharoplasty (Upper Eyelid Surgery)

Overview of the procedure:

Open Upper Blepharoplasty is a popular type of cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess skin, fat or muscle from droopy upper eyelids.

The upper eyelid incision is made in the natural crease line that occurs 1 cm above the eyelashes. The incisions might extend into the crow's feet or laughter lines at the outer corners of your eyes. Working through the incisions your surgeon will separate the skin from the subcutaneous layers and remove excess fat and trim sagging muscle and skin. The incisions will then be closed with very fine sutures.

Duration of the operation:

Open Upper Blepharoplasty usually lasts for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Post operative care:

Instructions to follow for several days, includes: proper way to clean your eyes, use of cold compresses to minimize swelling, use of lubricating eye drops, head elevation, no makeup, no alcohol, no television, and no contact lenses. You should also limit activities for a few days.

Recovery Period:

Stitches are removed about a week after surgery. Bruising and swelling will continue to gradually subside after stitches are removed. Bruising usually disappears within 7-10 days duration. Sunglasses and protective sun block are required for several weeks. Normal activities can resume after about 10 days, though strenuous activities such as lifting, bending and exercise can resume after about three weeks. Most patients are back to work within 1-2 weeks.

Possible Risks and complications:

Complications are rare; however there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Possible complications include: infection, bleeding (rare) but can cause loss of vision, prominence of the scars, asymmetry in healing or scarring, dryness, decrease sensation in the eyelid, difficulty closing the eyes, or any reaction to anesthesia and in rare instances blindness. You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your plastic surgeon, both before and after your eyelid surgery.

Labial Reduction or Labiaplasty

Overview of the procedure:

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that will reduce and/or reshape the labia minora - the skin that covers the female clitoris and vaginal opening.

During surgery, larger or uneven inner vaginal lips are cut and shortened using specialized scissors, a scalpel or a laser. In addition, the labia majora, on the outside of the body, can be reduced with either surgery or liposuction if needed. A hoodectomy, which exposes the clitoris in an attempt to increase sexual stimulation, may be performed at the same time.

The appropriate incision location depends on many individual factors, including the configuration, texture and size of the labia. The surgeon will then suture the incision closed with absorbable sutures

Duration of the operation:

Labiaplasty usually takes no longer than 2 hours or in some cases is no more than 1 hour.

Post-Operative Care

Clean the incision site with hydrogen peroxide and put antibiotic cream/ointment on a daily basis. Your stitches should dissolve within 2-2 ½ weeks. Swelling and tenderness should gradually disappear within 6 weeks. Oral medications can reduce pain. Oral antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce the risk of infection.

Recovery period:

After surgery, you can't have intercourse for about 4 weeks, and your genitals will be tender and swollen for several weeks. You will be asked to stop any heavy, strenuous exercise for three or more weeks after surgery. Also you cannot use tampons and douches for 3 to 6 weeks following surgery. While recovering, you will need to wear a pad for one week or less, due to the bleeding that results. Most women resume normal activities, like work, within four days.

Possible Risk and Complication

With any surgical procedure there are certain risks. The most common can include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, and scarring. Although these events are usually infrequent, they sometimes can occur. These will be discussed with you during the consultation for your procedure.

Anesthesia use:

General or local anesthesia with sedation

Hospital admission:

Labiaplasty can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.

Preparation before surgery

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
• Do not have sexual intercourse the night before the surgery.

Gluteal Augmentation

Gluteal Augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that uses buttock implants to increase the size and reshape the appearance of the buttocks. Incision may be made in any one of the following places: where the cheek meets the back of the thigh, or down the buttock crease. The incision is usually made in the buttock crease, where scars are not noticeable. The surgeon then creates a pocket large enough to insert the butt implants. The implants can be placed either under the gluteus maximus muscle, or on top of the muscle. Sometimes, the surgeon performs liposuction in order to further enhance the shape of the buttocks. After performing the same procedure on the other buttock, the surgeon makes sure the buttocks are symmetrical and look natural. Then he/she stitches up the incisions.

Duration of the procedure:

Buttock augmentation surgery normally lasts between 2 and 4 hours.

Post-Operative Care:

 You will wear a compression garment over the buttocks to provide support, which should not be removed for the next few days following surgery. It is important to take the medication prescribed to you by your surgeon to manage discomfort from swelling and bruising. Someone will need to drive you home, and you may need assistance at home over the next couple of days. Expect to be in bed for the next 24 hours following surgery. Refrain from sitting down until the incisions have bonded and early ambulation after the first two days of surgery to promote healing and effective circulation.

Recovery Period:

You’ll experience swelling and bruising in the buttocks for the first 2- 3 days after a gluteal augmentation procedure. Swelling and bruising will gradually disappear for about 1 month. You will need 4 to 6 weeks before full recovery occurs and normal levels of activity can be resumed.

Possible Risks and Complications

All surgical procedures carry some risk. The risks of undergoing buttock implant surgery include infection, unsatisfactory results, excessive bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, and the need for second, or sometimes third, procedures. Risks are minimal, although, as with any surgery, complications can arise.

Anesthesia use:

General or local anesthesia with sedation

Hospital admission:

Gluteal Augmentation can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.

Preparation before Surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.

• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
