Buttock augmentation (also known as Gluteal Lifts, Gluteoplasty and Gluteal  Shaping, Brazilian Butt Fill) is a prime example of the way in which a relatively simple procedure can re-craft the silhouette. Exactly what comprises an attractive pair of buns may partly depend on one’s ethnicity and where one is from.  Some want a larger and rounder rear, some want narrow and athletic while still others want a derriere that falls somewhere in the middle. Of course, the outcome of the procedure depends on the patient’s wishes and the anatomy which will be either round, square, V or A-shaped.

Following surgery patients wear a special surgical garment for 1-2 weeks for comfort and to minimize swelling. They are encouraged to have massage and ultrasound sessions beginning one week after surgery to minimize swelling, hardness, and to accelerate the healing process.

When it comes to resuming physical activity, each patient will have his or her timetable depending on the extent of procedure performed and individual health factors. Most patients can resume progressive exercise after 2 weeks, gradually getting back to the pre-operative level after about 6 weeks. The good news is that patients can sit from the first day of their buttock enlargement surgery. However, sitting for prolonged periods of time right after surgery is not encouraged.

Recovery time for this procedure is about one week, and the cost is $7,500.
