How Feminizing Buttock Augmentation Works
We make the incision in the crease between the buttocks, where the scar stays hidden. The implant is then placed inside the gluteus maximus muscle. If it sat under the fat, above the muscle, it would distort the buttock and show. You have either general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, which numbs only the lower half of your body.

The price of feminizing buttock augmentation covers your preoperative assessment, the evaluation consultation, the operation and hospital stay, follow-up appointments, the buttock implants and, if needed, a blood test and an ultrasound.
It is for trans women with small buttocks of a typically male shape, and for anyone who would like rounder, fuller buttocks.
Fat transfer does; hyaluronic acid does not. The implant is permanent. Fat transfer becomes permanent too once the fat has taken, after a few months. Dr. Jesús Lago injects hyaluronic acid under local anesthesia and you go home the same day, but it wears off within about a year.
No. With implant-based buttock augmentation, the scar sits in the crease between the buttocks, where it stays hidden.
Yes, from the first few days after implant-based feminizing buttock augmentation. Allow a week before returning to your usual activities.
Like any implant, a buttock implant carries a risk of rupture and capsular contracture (a shell of hard scar tissue forming around it). That is the trade-off for significant, permanent volume, and the main reason to choose fat transfer when you have enough fat.
For feminizing buttock augmentation by fat transfer, you need enough fat to harvest from another area, usually the abdomen. If you do not have enough, we decide together between an implant and hyaluronic acid.
Liposculpture moves fat you already have, without adding anything. Feminizing buttock augmentation adds volume. The two can be combined as part of the same feminization plan.
See feminizing liposculptureYes. Dr. Jesús Lago can carry out feminizing buttock augmentation and breast augmentation in a single operation, or as two separate procedures.
