Glute augmentation surgery is also known as gluteal lipoinjection, consists of removing excess fat from any part of your body, procedure done through a liposuction which is then injected in the glutes to increase the volume and improve the shape in this area.

This method is convenient for those whose glutes appear to fall and sag with time, weight fluctuation or genetic reasons, or the glutes are not balanced with the rest of the body. This is an efficient solution since it is an autologous graft tissue (one’s own tissue), it improves the volume and aspect with a very natural consistency.

Our staff at Salutaris, leader in plastic surgery in Guadalajara is formed by a group of highly qualified Orthopedic Surgeons that will accompany you throughout the entire process until the appearance you seek has been achieved.

The right candidate to undergo a gluteal lipoinjection, is not only that who wants to enhance and define their glutes. You can have excess fat in a particular part of your body that will be used during the surgery.

The candidate must be in good health conditions, and it is preferable that those areas where fat is taken have not previously undergone liposuction.

A glute lipoinjection takes from 1 to 5 hours, depending on the areas to be treated. In this surgery, after the anesthesia is applied, incisions will be made preferably in hidden areas, close to the areas to work on.

The cannulas will be introduced through these incisions, a solution containing a vasoconstrictor that reduces blood loss will be infiltrated, then will proceed to perform the liposuction and remove the previously applied solution and excess fat. Once it is removed, an injection in the intramuscular plane takes place.

Once the surgery is performed, you will need to remain at the hospital within the next 12 to 24 hours. With this method you will give firmness and volume to your glutes in a safe, natural and effective way.

To ensure our client’s satisfaction, at Salutaris, we recommend that prior to any procedure you make an appointment with your plastic surgeon. During that initial appointment, you and your doctor will have the opportunity to meet and help each other by giving your point of view about the process, but overall, come to a common point in regards to the desired results after your glute augmentation surgery.

At this time your doctor will evaluate your condition and determine if you are a candidate to undergo a glute lipoinjection. He will also explain each procedure, as well as the recovery time and cost of the surgery.

If you suffer from high blood pressure, allergies or if you smoke, it is overly important that you notify your doctor about these or other conditions since some of them could affect your recovery process.

Make sure that each aspect of your surgery is clarified. This way your satisfaction of the process to recover the firmness of your glutes will be assured.

Just like any plastic surgery, although there are risks involved when undergoing a gluteal lipoinjection, there are very few risks since it is performed by experts, like our group of surgeons at Salutaris. There may be some infections or bleeding which your doctor will treat and accompany you until the end of the procedure.

In order to avoid any of these risks, you will need to follow your doctor’s recommendations carefully.

After the surgery the area will remain numb for some time. You will feel discomfort similar to when you exercise that area (when you do sit ups). When discomfort is intense, your surgeon will manage it with strong painkillers.

It’ll probably be necessary to use a compression bandage from 4 to 6 weeks to hold the tissues together. In case of requiring a drain, it will be removed in about 5 to 7 days. It is recommended for you to rest from one to two weeks. Your doctor will indicate the right moment for you to go out and do your daily activities.
