Buttock enlargement surgery is indicated for benign hypoplasia (underdevelopment) of the buttocks. Buttock augmentation can be performed with implants or with your own adipose tissue. The operation is carried out under endotracheal anesthesia, two hours before it is not allowed to eat or drink.

In case of gluteoplasty (buttock enlargement with implants), a plastic surgeon makes incisions between the buttocks, forming special “pockets” for implants under the gluteus maximus muscle. After placing the implants in the buttocks, the doctor creates a new shape for the buttocks and sutures. The duration of the operation is 2,5 hours.

To augment the buttocks using the patient’s own adipose tissue, the doctor collects the fat mass, which is then processed and prepared for further transplantation. The surgeon, through micro-incisions, places the prepared adipose tissue in the required place (according to the markings carried out) and gives the buttocks a new shape. The duration of the operation does not exceed three to four hours.

Plastic surgery of the lower legs (cruroplasty) in Kharkiv

Cruroplasty is a plastic surgery during which the shape, size (reduction or enlargement) of the lower leg is changed using the patient’s own adipose tissue or installation of silicone implants. The indications for lower legs plasty are atrophy or underdeveloped leg muscles, their asymmetry, false curvature of legs (the feet and knees close up, but there is no calf, which leads to soft tissue defects from knees to ankles). Endoprosthetics of the lower legs is performed under epidural anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia.

During lower legs plasty using implants, a plastic surgeon makes incision in the popliteal crease three to four cm long. After incision, the doctor places the implant and sutures, which are masked under the natural skin folds. The shape and size of silicone implant is selected by the surgeon in consultation. The duration of the lower legs plasty surgery is 1.5-2 hours.

For the lower legs plastic surgery using own adipose tissue, the surgeon takes the patient’s fat mass, which the doctor processes and prepares for transplantation. Through the micro-incisions made, the doctor places the prepared adipose tissue in the previously marked place and corrects the shins.

After plastic surgery to correct the shin curvature, compression stockings are put on the patient. The surgeon removes the stitches in 7-10 days, and the bruises and swelling of the shins disappear completely within three weeks. The cost of lower legs plastics in Kharkiv depends on the chosen method of plastic surgery.

• atrophic (in appearance they look like retracted stripes);
• normotrophic (pale and thin scars);
• keloid (scars are pink, purple in color, usually rise above the skin);
• hypertrophic (dark in color scars that rise above the skin surface).

During the surgical correction of normotrophic scars up to 5 cm, the surgeon reduces the size of the scar, making it invisible on the skin. Atrophic scars are removed with subcision (undercutting).
