Buttock augmentation is a fairly common procedure in specialized clinics. Many girls believe that this feature of the figure makes them more attractive and sexy. Most often this is done through implantation or hyaluronic acid-based products.
Macroline and its features
This drug is now the only one used for contour volumetric plastics. An increase in the hips and buttocks, as well as lips and other parts of the body is made on its basis.
The company developing the drug Q-med invested its own funds in its development, now it is the exclusive owner of the rights to its manufacture and sale. The cost of Macroline is considerable, since it has no competitors.
Buttock augmentation is not the only procedure that is carried out using this drug. More often it is used for the chest. By means of a filler, you can add 1 size, while there is no need to go under the knife and suffer from a long period of rehabilitation.
Also, the tool is used when filling in inverted scars and for the purpose of contour plastic operations in intimate areas.
The composition of the funds
Such a procedure as buttock augmentation with hyaluronic acid is possible when using Macroline, where it is an active substance. Moreover, the concentration of the substance is quite sufficient for a good density of the gel.
Previously, the increase in the volume of the buttocks and other parts of the body was carried out using non-absorbable fillers. They were based on polyacrylate gel, liquid paraffin and other components. However, the main advantage of
hyaluronic acid over them is naturalness, it is an integral part of our tissues.
When introduced, it enters into a biochemical reaction with our body, then it decomposes and is excreted. Also in a natural way.
Indications for use
An increase in the buttocks, as well as other parts of the body, is desirable to do if there is evidence. Otherwise, the client of the clinic risks replenishing the army of dissatisfied and disappointed, whose reviews are often found on the Internet.
For example, if we are talking about a breast, then giving it a larger volume so that you will not be disappointed with the result, it is better when it is small and elastic and you expect to add only 1 size in volume. But those who want to increase it from the second to the sixth size, quite possibly, will be unhappy.
When to shape buttocks?
In this case, this should be done if there is an asymmetry or insufficient volume. Also, the increase in the buttocks of the hyaluronic component is relevant when their tissues are omitted in the form of an age-related change or with sharp strong weight loss.
Remember that the gel has limited capabilities, and to radically change the volume of a particular part of the body in this way will not work. But to put it in order and make it more fit is quite real.
Features of volumetric body correction
We have already talked about what features buttock enlargement has. Clinic patient reviews will be positive if they approach the procedure wisely and taking into account indications. In addition, do not wait for supernatural results.
Macroline is mainly used for such purposes:
- corrects the rear of the hands and fingers with thinning of the skin;
- performs contour plasty of intimate zones (enlarges the genitals in men and the labia majora in women);
- fills uneven areas on the subcutaneous tissue, which are the result of liposuction;
- increase or eliminate asymmetry;
- hide soft tissue defects after injuries and surgeries.
Benefits of Using Fillers
Visually, you can see what an increase in the buttocks is, - photos before and after the procedure are attached to the material. However, the real result will not always be the same as on the page of your favorite glamorous tabloid.
But it is worth noting that buttock enlargement with hyaluronic acid, like any other part of the body, has such advantages:
- You can try how you will be with the new volume for a certain time;
- the body is not exposed to anesthetics;
- tears and scars with this method will not be;
- unlike plastic surgery, the recovery period will be much shorter and simpler.
The disadvantages of using hyaluronic acid
However, one cannot say for sure that buttock augmentation in this way is a positive decision. There are a number of its nuances.
For example, the gel used may migrate. That is why it can not be entered much to give a large volume of the selected part of the body. It can shift down, and the lips or buttocks will sag under the influence of body weight and gravity. When moving the product, it should be removed. And here surgical intervention is already required.
Another problem is that the gel dissolves over time. It is stored in tissues for a maximum of 18 months. If you want to make an increase in the buttocks, the photo of the brochure shows a beautiful picture and guarantees a long-lasting effect, then it is better not to trust such a promise. In fact, the amount of gel introduced is reduced after a few months, so after about six months, the skin may begin to sag. Plan immediately trips for additional correction procedures.
Like other foreign bodies, hyaluronic acid can cause fibrosis.
Examination problems
Remember that buttock enlargement can be a significant barrier when undergoing a series of medical examinations. So, gel lumps are visible on the monitor with ultrasound and in an x-ray. At the same time, outwardly they do not differ from cysts or seals. Accordingly, the doctor may make a false diagnosis.
The gel is able to persist in our tissues for a long time. And even after its complete resorption, a year after the procedure, its accumulations can be viewed on an ultrasound scan. If it was a question of breast enlargement, then the remains of the gel in the area of the mammary glands can complicate the diagnosis of mastopathy or cancer.
Contraindications to the use of fillers
Doctors have the right to refuse a potential patient of the clinic in the procedure for contour plastic surgery using hyaluronic acid for the following reasons:
- if a person has intolerance to this substance;
- if in the past there were anaphylactic shocks or a polyvalent allergy ;
- during pregnancy or while breastfeeding;
- in the presence of autoimmune diseases;
- with diseases of connective tissue;
- with cancer;
- while taking anticoagulants and in case of blood coagulation.
When it comes to increasing the volume of the breast, it is necessary to find out before the procedure whether there are any seals or cysts in this area.
Possible consequences
The procedure may have its consequences, even if the patient had no contraindications. Therefore, if there is no great need, think carefully whether you need an increase in the buttocks. Before and after the operation, these are two different times: in the first case, you can think through everything well, and in the second, know how to deal with possible side effects.
So, quite often after the procedure, swelling appears and can last up to 2 weeks, but then disappear. In addition, during the first days after the introduction of the gel, the patient may be tormented by bursting pain. They can be smoothed out by taking painkillers.
Sometimes seals may appear, the period of their occurrence and the nature are always different. Most often, they appear immediately after manipulation. And further, as the edema and stretch marks of the skin decrease, the tissues become softer and more elastic. It’s not worth worrying about.
But if such seals hold for a long time or appear after a long period after the procedure, it is better to consult a doctor.
Reviews of specialists about the drug
The drug "Macroline" based on hyaluronic acid has a rather controversial assessment of specialists regarding its safety and effectiveness.
Can buttock enlargement be done without problems? Reviews of doctors from different countries in this matter can radically differ from each other. This bias is based on the fact that the Macroline appeared relatively recently on the market and has not yet been fully and fully studied.
The absence of anesthesia and reconstructive operations, as with classical plastic surgery, all this attracts more patients to this method.
But on the other hand, there is the sad experience of using other non-surgical methods to increase buttocks or breasts based on fillers. Liquid silicone, paraffin, animal fats and polyacrylamide gel are all potential enemies of patients who want to look better with these compounds.
Implants or fillers?
The World Association of Plastic Surgeons, about 10 years ago, recognized that silicone implants are the best way to breast augmentation. And their main alternative is lipofilling. This procedure refers to the introduction of the patient's own fat, which in some cases can be additionally enriched with stem cells. This method is safe in view of the fact that the contents are “native” to the human body.
But hyaluronic acid, which is the active ingredient of Macroline, is also a natural component in relation to our body. And gels based on it are often used to enlarge the lips, buttocks or chest, as well as to improve the contour of the face. But the effect of this tool is limited, since it dissolves with time. It depends on the density of the filler and the amount of active substance in each individual case.
However, the creators of this tool decided to improve it. So, the gel with which the correction of the volume of a particular part of the body is carried out is able to be introduced into the deeper layers of the skin. The effect is longer, up to 18 months against the previous 9.
Features of the introduction of the gel
The operation to increase the buttocks does not last long, about half an hour or a little more. The doctor performs incisions up to 3 mm and with a thin needle introduces hyaluronic acid-based material under the skin. This is done quite deeply, in layers above the muscles. About an hour after the end of the procedure, the patient can leave the clinic and return to his usual life. Under the influence of natural enzymes, the gel dissolves over time. When this happens, re-manipulation should be done if necessary.
On the one hand, this technique is ideal, but we must not forget that buttock enlargement by this method is still impossible without incisions, even microscopic ones. Also, the behavior of the substance in the deeper layers of the skin has not yet been fully studied, this should also be taken into account.
At first glance, the technique and the drug have no flaws. Nevertheless, cuts, although microscopic, are made. The action of "Macroline" is temporary, and the behavior of the filler in the deep layers of the dermis is poorly understood.
Implant application
Now we turn to the description of another method for buttock augmentation - through the use of silicone-based implants or lipofilling. All this is aimed at improving their shape and raising the upper part.
When the buttocks are lowered and the subgluteal folds are smoothed, it is advisable to raise them. Most often, this condition occurs due to severe weight loss, when excess parts of the skin with sagging soft tissues appear on the body. An increase in the buttocks with implants can be carried out both as an independent procedure, and simultaneously with a hip lift.
Features of implantation
Before this operation, the patient is required to undergo examination and pass tests that will be ready within 3 days or earlier. It is carried out in stationary conditions, depending on the volume, the client is hospitalized for up to 5 days. General anesthesia is also used. The time for such an operation is up to 2 hours.
Between the buttocks in the coccyx, the doctor makes an incision about 6 centimeters long. Then, under the large muscles, spaces are created where the implants are placed. And with lipofilling, the skin is pierced and subsequently no scars remain.
With an increase in the hips, an incision is made in the fold under the buttocks, and with a combined operation, over them. The wound is then sutured with an intradermal suture. After the procedure, the patient wears special compression underwear for 4-6 months.
After operation
At first, the patient will feel pain and discomfort. All this is normal, similar symptoms will disappear in about 2 weeks. Even after the same time, he will be able to return to his previous physical activity, however, he can only go in for sports after a month and a half.
Such an operation can provoke the following consequences;
- hematomas;
- inflammatory process;
- asymmetry;
- displacement of the prosthesis.
Unlike injections with hyaluronic acid, the result will be permanent. However, provided that the person will maintain the same weight of his body.
Patient reviews and more
About such a procedure as buttock augmentation, reviews are diverse. Some patients complain of complications. In particular, the fact that the gel flows from one side to the other and the visual effect is not the most ideal. Others say that there are many cases of complications, and the gel based on hyaluronic acid in terms of quality is no better than those that were used before it and were considered worse.
There are positive ratings for the remedy. Specialists and ordinary patients do not believe that hyaluronic acid is a panacea, but when used correctly it works very well. Moreover, according to the assurance of practicing doctors, implants give much more complications.
Among those who successfully underwent surgery to increase the buttocks, thighs and other parts of the body with the help of fillers, there is a widespread opinion about the slightly overpriced drug for manipulation.
So, today buttock enlargement with hyaluronic acid is the most optimal alternative to the complex surgical method, which can entail many side effects and consequences.
