IF WORKING YOUR BUTT OFF AT THE GYM DIDN’T WORK, PERHAPS YOU SHOULD GO FOR A BODY-SHAPING IMPLANT

Often, due to a person’s genetic traits or physical build, it is impossible to change thin legs or a flat derrière. Daily workout sessions at the gym may turn out to be disappointing. A gracious, and firm, and upright butt, as well as shapely legs and no more thin thighs not always are achieved by strenuous exercising. When all efforts at the gym have failed to mold your body, perhaps you should go for plastic surgery since the results are very positive and visible. Buttocks, thigh and calf implants actually can shape the body in a single procedure.

1. What is the main indication for this thigh-legs-buttocks association?

Exercise only helps to improve discreet cases of hypoplasia; more severe cases in thin patients with strong genetic or ethnic predisposition seldon improve as much as with surgery, with exercise alone. The best indication is for those low weight patients who fail to shape their body with exercise alone; however, women around forty who, because of their sedentary lifestyle, end up with a slightly atrophied and sagging derrière, also benefit from the technique. Implant surgery can give back the firmness and volume lost with every passing year, by promoting a visible rejuvenation in the area.

2. Is the thigh augmentation surgery something new?

No, albeit not too well known, the technique has been around for many years and was developed by plastic surgeon Luiz Montelano. It is a great idea to place an implant in the inner thigh muscles, where it actually causes no discomfort at all. The main indication is for patients who have a big empty space between the thighs when standing with their feet together, and do not feel comfortable wearing mini-skirts or shorts. In simple cases, liposculpture may achieve good results but, of course, an implant surgery is much more effective, especially for thin people who don’t have enough adipose tissue to use in a graft.


3. Could liposculpture be included in the same procedure too?

Yes, any body implant surgery can be associated with liposculpture. Such association will certainly help to improve the figure and reduce the undesirable fat that insists on showing up on certain areas. Liposculpture can be used to complement any kind of body surgery.

4. Can implants cause any harm to a patient?

Silicone implants have been used since 1962, and millions of people all over the world have benefited from implant surgery. In the US, before liposuction, it used to be the most popular esthetic surgery. The improved quality of implants back in the 90s gave a new boost to implant surgery since the current implants are much more reliable than those of the 80s, which were actually very fragile because they were filled with material that was too fluid. Implants today are made to last 20, perhaps 30 years, but we know that even if one should burst by accident, there will be no harm done to the patient.

5. What is the technique for shaping the legs and when is it indicated?

In fact, the surgery attempts to mimic the muscles of the calf. The implant is placed inside the muscle’s outer layer, where it can be easily concealed. Underdeveloped muscles, either for congenital causes or due to diseases now rare such as polio, is the main indication. Most people who exercise to shape the body are disappointed because the results in the calf are not optimal, and this kind of implant could make their dream of having shapely legs come true. Recovery from this surgery is relatively easy, and patients can go back to their activities in about ten days.
