What to do if the implant turns over. Breast surgery: displacements and inversions

What are buttock implants and why are they needed? Since ancient times, beautiful, voluminous hips and elastic buttocks have been considered a sign of sexuality and beauty.

However, this is not given to every person. Under the influence of natural age-related changes, previous injuries, and childbirth, the external condition of the buttocks can noticeably deteriorate.

Unfortunately, in some cases, fitness classes are ineffective, so women begin to think about buttock augmentation through surgery. This operation is called gluteoplasty.

Not only women, but also men who want to make their body more attractive and sexy resort to such intervention. And photos of people with buttock implants after surgery show amazing results.

Features of buttock augmentation with implants

Augmentation with implants is called endoprosthetics or gluteoplasty. The essence of the operation is that a small depression (the so-called pocket) is first made between the muscles in the patient’s sacral area.

This cavity serves as a place to place an implant (silicone or filled with saline).

There are 3 types of implant placement:

• under the fascia above the gluteus maximus muscle;
• between muscle fibers;
• under the muscle.

The surgeon will help you select the staging option. Under no circumstances should it be implanted directly under the skin, otherwise the transition boundaries will be noticeable, and the implant itself may shift and become deformed due to unreliable fixation.

There are two main types of artificial implants:

• anatomical, which have a natural teardrop shape;
• round.

In addition, buttock implants can be smooth or porous, and have different sizes and shapes. It is believed that smooth material is more durable, hygienic and does not tend to deform over time.

Silicone implants are more durable, and their structure is similar to the natural structure of human muscles.

There is no need to worry that buttock implants may not withstand physical activity or become deformed over time. The material for these products is extremely durable. It can easily withstand the effects of natural physical activity, sports, etc.

The structure of the implants is as follows:

1. A strong, dense shell, hollow inside.
2. Filler (medical silicone or saline solution).

All butt implants come with a lifetime warranty and unlimited use.

The size, shape, and location in the soft tissues of the buttocks are selected strictly on an individual basis.

The process of selecting equipment, the future shape of the buttocks and materials occurs in personal agreement with the plastic surgeon, but based on the client’s personal recommendations and wishes.

The key factor in this is the anatomical features of the buttock structure and the state of human health. The operation is performed under general anesthesia to minimize pain and psychological discomfort for the patient.

You should not order implants that are too large if you have a lack of fat in your buttocks. This can lead to the boundaries of the transition being noticeable, and the body will look disproportionate and not aesthetically pleasing.

After the operation and rehabilitation period, the sutures are tightened quite quickly. However, it is not necessary to see a doctor to remove stitches.

The period of complete rehabilitation is quite long and averages 5–6 months. There are other ways to enlarge the buttocks. They are presented below.

Preparing for surgery

If you decide to enlarge your buttocks with implants, the first step is a personal meeting with a plastic surgeon. The doctor will find out your wishes, conduct an examination and recommend the optimal method of plastic surgery - which buttock implants are best to use in your particular case and in which area to install them. After agreeing on the expected result and setting the date for the operation, it is necessary to undergo a preoperative examination. The standard set of procedures before gluteoplasty with implants includes:

• detailed blood and urine tests, including for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis
• ECG
• examination by a therapist and gynecologist

If necessary, the operating surgeon will prescribe additional examination to identify risk factors and minimize complications.

Also, if you are undergoing buttock surgery with implants, you must select and purchase compression garments in advance that you will wear after the operation. These are comfortable breeches made of special knitwear that provide hygiene measures without removing them. You can also get it at our ABC Clinic medical center.

Lipofilling (with your own fat)

In some cases, surgeons may use fat tissue removed from the patient himself. An important condition for this is the presence of fat accumulations on the body sufficient to give the desired shape and size.

This substance is extracted extremely delicately, so that a minimum number of cells are damaged.

Donor material is collected under completely sterile conditions, so the patient has nothing to worry about. In this case, fat cells are transplanted directly under the skin or fascia.

This type of buttock augmentation is called lipofilling. If all manipulations were carried out according to the rules, and the patient himself observed the restrictions during rehabilitation and followed all recommendations, then the possibility of resorption of adipose tissue is minimal.

Sometimes the plastic surgeon may additionally treat the donor tissue with plasma synthesized from the client's own blood.

The rehabilitation period for lipofilling lasts less, since the patient’s biological tissues take root better and faster.

An important condition is to wear special compression garments for approximately 30 days from the date of the operation. During this time, the fabrics will take on their final shape.

Seam divergence

Seams can come apart for various reasons. Here are some of them:

• premature removal of sutures when healing is not fully completed;
• as a result of bleeding, accumulation of blood clots on the wound;
• due to impaired blood circulation in tissues;
• due to technically incorrect suturing by the doctor;
• after heavy physical activity - running, jumping, lifting weights;
• due to wound infection;
• due to a decrease in the body's defenses.

If this happens, you should apply a sterile bandage to the affected area and call an ambulance.

Using mesothreads

An alternative way to correct the shape and size of the buttocks is to enlarge them using special bio-threads. This special material is placed in a fan pattern under the gluteal muscle. This method allows you to significantly tighten the soft tissues and improve the shape of the buttocks.

There is no need to worry that bio-threads (meso-threads) may break or move - small hooks are used to securely fix them.

Thanks to this, the muscles and thighs are compressed, and the buttocks become more rounded and toned. At the same time, the rehabilitation period is the shortest of all the proposed types.

This method of tightening has a short-term effect - up to 2 years.

Stages of the procedure

The process of installing buttock implants consists of standard stages: preparation, surgery, rehabilitation. First, a complete examination of the patient is carried out. You need to take urine and blood tests to determine the level of clotting and the presence of infection. Then they do an ECG, fluorography, and women undergo a pelvic ultrasound. It is during this period that the doctor and the patient determine the shape and size of future implants, as well as the exact area of ​​their installation.

The patient must also prepare. You must quit smoking and drinking alcohol two weeks before the procedure. Sunbathing in the open sun or in a solarium is prohibited. You should not take medications that may affect blood clotting. You need to eat well, but not in excess.

Indications for gluteoplasty

How to determine that you need the help of a plastic surgeon to enlarge your buttocks and give them a seductive shape?

Below are a number of indications for the use of gluteoplasty.

INDICATIONS

• too small and inexpressive (or too large and disproportionate) buttocks;
• sagging soft tissues, loss of elasticity;
• the presence of post-operative marks and scars (in some cases);
• changes in the shape of the buttocks as a result of age, weight loss/gain;
• consequences of injuries;
• partial atrophy of fascial muscles.

Contraindications for surgery

Although buttock augmentation is not a particularly complex operation, there are still a number of direct and indirect contraindications that should be strictly adhered to.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. acute diseases of internal organs;
2. any chronic diseases of the internal system;
3. any blood diseases, diabetes;
4. dysfunction and disorders of the endocrine system;
5. HIV AIDS;
6. after insolation and ECG;
7. if the patient has a tendency to form keloid scars;
8. after following a strict long-term diet (the body may be exhausted);
9. in the presence of severe diseases of the cardiovascular system.

There is no point in saving on your health, so you should only choose a clinic with a good reputation for performing the operation. Before you begin, you must have a face-to-face consultation with a surgeon, as well as undergo a number of preliminary tests and additional studies that he will prescribe for you:

• blood tests - general and biochemical;
• coagulogram;
• general urine analysis;
• tests for the presence of hepatitis viruses, HIV, syphilis;
• fluorography.

How to prepare for surgery?

Preparation for buttock enlargement should occur in stages. First of all, 2 weeks before the scheduled date of the operation, you should completely stop taking alcohol, as well as drugs that directly affect blood clotting.

The operation will be better tolerated on an empty stomach, so it is necessary to stop eating 6-8 hours before the implantation of implants in the buttocks.

A video with recommendations and features of endoprosthetics can be viewed below.

If on the eve of the operation the patient is very nervous or suffers from insomnia, then it is allowed to take sedatives and hypnotics.

The operation usually does not last long - from 1 to 3 hours. The rehabilitation period is quite long and ranges from 4 to 6 months, depending on the individual characteristics of the body.

At this time, swelling, redness, swelling, and numbness at the installation sites may be observed in the buttock area.

There is no need to panic, as these phenomena do not pose a threat to health or the condition of implants in the buttocks. Reviews about rehabilitation can be read on thematic forums on the Internet.

Question answer

You may be able to “feel” your butt implants when you sit for a while after surgery. But later, the implants are usually included in the image of your body, and after a while they are perceived as part of the buttocks. In other words, your brain considers them part of your body. The same thing happens with breast implants, which simply become a “part” of the body after a few months of implantation.

If done correctly, butt implants should not be noticeable. To ensure the success of your procedure, be sure to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience. Although even if the operation was performed by a professional, you can feel the implant. If you want to get a natural feeling, just pay attention to lipofilling (injection of fat). This procedure can give a natural feeling.

Buttock implants don't rupture because they are not like breast implants: they are completely solid and not filled with something.

Postoperative period (7 stages)

You should also follow some recommendations during the recovery period:

1. It is better to spend the first 24 hours after surgery in a hospital, where qualified doctors can provide their patient with the necessary care.
2. For the first 7 days you only need to lie down and not do any physical activity.
3. It is necessary to limit the body's sitting position as much as possible.
4. It is not recommended to visit a public swimming pool, sauna, or solarium for about a month and a half.
5. You should not engage in physical activity for the first 30 days after surgery.
6. It is necessary to limit or completely stop drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking.
7. For about 3 months you must wear special compression garments.

If after surgery you feel painful symptoms, then, in consultation with your doctor, you can take painkillers that the doctor will prescribe.

Recovery after surgery

The first days after surgery are difficult to bear, as there is swelling and pain, and the body temperature rises. The doctor prescribes special medications to help cope with unpleasant symptoms. To reduce swelling and speed up the healing process of endoprostheses, you need to put on compression garments immediately after the procedure and wear them for 1-2 months.

During the entire rehabilitation period, you must adhere to the following restrictions:

• do not lie on your back, but only on your side or stomach (at least one month);
• do not return to smoking and alcohol;
• do not overheat the body, for which exclude the sauna, solarium, hot bath;
• do not overcool;
• give up sports for three months;
• do not swim in a pool or open water.

The rules are simple but mandatory. If you ignore their observance, seroma may develop, asymmetry may appear, problems with gait may arise, etc.

Buttock implants, consequences and complications

The most common problem that occurs after surgical buttock augmentation is rejection of the implant by the patient’s body.

In some cases, a negative reaction from the immune system may occur. In addition, there is a small percentage of complications occurring after the patient has undergone anesthesia:

1. Wounds received during surgery can take a long time to heal, and if improperly or improperly cared for, they can even become infected. In this situation, repeated surgery will be required to remove the implants.
2. In some cases, fibromas and keloid scars may form at the site of the sutures.
3. Sometimes the patient may experience increased sensitivity of the buttocks, they may feel very cold or hurt. This is caused by damage to blood vessels and nerves. These symptoms may cause a person to have problems with their gait. Such cases require mandatory removal of the implants.
4. In some cases, atrophy of the gluteal muscles may begin.

Swelling, scars and hematomas

Swelling always occurs in the patient - this is a normal reaction of the body to surgery. Scars are usually absent, but if the suture was placed incorrectly or suppuration occurred during the recovery process, they may form. Bruises and hematomas remain if the drainage was installed incorrectly or removed too early. In this case, blood and intercellular fluid accumulate in the cavities, which causes bruises.

Usually, side effects go away on their own and do not require treatment. Sometimes, to quickly eliminate symptoms, the doctor prescribes physiotherapy sessions or the use of medications.

Prices for operations

The implantation of implants in the buttocks is considered an expensive procedure; the price will start from about 100 thousand rubles, depending on the type of augmentation and the individual policy of the clinic.

In addition, it is worth considering that you will additionally have to pay for anesthesia, hospital stay and the provision of compression garments.

The most inexpensive operation is considered to be trimming fat deposits. More expensive is lipofilling – correction of the shape of the buttocks with the patient’s own fat.

For an increase in bio-threads you will have to pay about 2 times more.

The most expensive operation is the one involving buttock implants. The price in Moscow will start from approximately 120 thousand rubles. However, this is the only method that has lifetime effectiveness and a guarantee.

The rehabilitation process should include approximately 10 sessions with a doctor, which will also have to be paid additionally.

Reviews

Reviews about the procedure are mixed. Here are some quotes from real patient reviews:

“I’m planning to enlarge my buttocks, but I’m afraid of the feeling of something foreign inside.”

“I saw a girl in the gym locker room whose implants were clearly visible in her buttocks. After that I changed my mind about doing it.”

“I don’t regret the money spent, the result is worth it, my butt has become luxurious!”

“Three months of suffering in the recovery period, and now I see my protruding implants. It’s a pity about money and health!”

“And my implant has completely shifted...”

“After the operation, the buttocks remained flabby, vague in shape, and there was no promised elasticity.”

“I’m very pleased with the results, my dream of a gorgeous butt has come true!!!”

It is worth considering that in 80% of cases complications after surgery occur due to the fault of the surgeon. Therefore, before installing implants in the buttocks , make sure that the doctor is qualified and has sufficient experience.

  I really want to enlarge my buttocks, but I’m afraid that something will always interfere with me. Maybe the implant will turn over inside me, what’s even worse is that the implant will fall at my feet. Or maybe it will just burst inside my buttocks and I will die from this liquid!!!!!!!!!!!!

During recovery from buttock augmentation with implants, you are not allowed to sit for one week after surgery. Patients can stand, lie on their stomach or side. After a week they can sit for ten minutes every hour. Scars that are located inside the buttock crease are easily hidden by swimsuits and most types of underwear.

plastic surgeon

Like any surgical procedure, recovery occurs in stages.
Definitely the first two weeks are the hardest. Walking is acceptable starting the very next day, but it will take 2-3 weeks until it becomes habitual. Thus, most patients will need to spend at least two weeks away from work, and some may need 3-4 weeks. If you are unable to correct the shape of your buttocks through fitness classes or simply by gaining weight, then we advise you to think about gluteoplasty.

This surgical operation is almost guaranteed to help achieve the desired effect and quickly get the figure of your dreams. Moreover, some types of these operations will be effective throughout life.

Watch a video on this topic, read reviews, look at the “before” and “after” photos of implanting implants in the buttocks and, if you decide, then confidently go towards your dream of a beautiful body.

Recovery after buttock surgery with implants

Rehabilitation after gluteoplasty lasts several months. During the first weeks, it is not recommended to sit, sleep on your back, any strain is excluded, as well as a bathhouse, sauna or solarium. Compression garments must be worn at all times. The surgeon will remove the drainage in 2-3 days, and the sutures on the skin dissolve on their own or are removed in 5-10 days.

Gradually, it will be possible to take off your underwear for several hours to take a shower or bath, and add moderate exercise. The period of complete recovery is very individual and depends on many conditions - the volume of implants, the condition of the tissues of the gluteal region, and compliance with the doctor’s recommendations. After approximately 3-4 months, a full-fledged capsule will form around the implant, it will no longer feel like a foreign body and you will be able to return to a full active life.
