Gluteoplasty with auto-prosthesis
Gluteoplasty with auto-prosthesis for volume and projection improvement
What is Gluteoplasty with auto-prosthesis and how does it work?
-
Auto-implant gluteoplasty, also known as gluteoplasty with a muscle-fat flap, is an advanced surgical technique that reshapes and enhances the buttocks using the patient’s own autologous tissue — a combination of muscle and fat.
Unlike traditional procedures that use silicone implants, this natural approach increases volume, improves firmness, and redefines the contour of the buttocks in complete harmony with the patient’s anatomy.The result is a harmonious and balanced silhouette, with natural projection and support, achieved without the use of artificial materials.
Indications for Gluteoplasty with auto-prosthesis
-
Auto-implant gluteoplasty is indicated for patients who wish to correct sagging, loss of volume, or flatness of the buttocks, whether due to genetic factors, aging, or significant weight loss.
It is especially recommended for those with:-
Skin and muscle laxity in the gluteal region
-
Loss of volume after major weight reduction
-
Desire to improve the proportion between the torso and hips
-
Asymmetry or irregularities in buttock contour
This procedure can also be combined with a body lift, optimizing the overall results of body contouring.
-
Benefits of Gluteoplasty with auto-prosthesis
-
This technique offers several advantages compared to traditional buttock augmentation methods:
-
Natural results: the buttocks gain shape and projection without an artificial appearance.
-
No implants required: eliminates the risk of rejection or complications related to prostheses.
-
Enhanced body contour: tissue is redistributed harmoniously, creating balance between the back, waist, and hips.
-
Safe and predictable recovery: since only the patient’s own tissues are used.
-
Long-lasting and stable results: which evolve naturally with the body over time.
-
How is Gluteoplasty with auto-prosthesis?
-
The procedure is based on the transfer of autologous tissue from the upper gluteal and lumbar region to the central and lower parts of the buttocks.
During surgery, the surgeon creates a muscle-fat flap, which is carefully repositioned to enhance projection, firmness, and the natural curvature of the gluteal area.The technique can be performed alone or in combination with a body lift, using a circumferential incision (similar to an extended abdominoplasty) to reshape the entire silhouette.
-
Average duration: approximately 2 hours
-
Anesthesia: general
-
Hospital stay: usually 1 day
-
Visible results: between 1 and 3 months, once swelling subsides and tissues stabilize
-
Recovery and essential care
-
The recovery period requires attention and specific care to ensure the best possible outcome:
-
Avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for the first few weeks;
-
Wear a compression garment or shaping girdle as advised by your surgeon;
-
Maintain a prone (face-down) or lateral position to reduce pressure on the graft;
-
Avoid intense physical activity for at least 4 to 6 weeks;
-
Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
Most patients resume normal daily activities after about 4 weeks, with progressive improvement in shape and firmness of the buttocks.
