Are you a good candidate for it?

Technical report
1. Anesthesia – epidural or general
2. Internment: 2 days
3. Surgery time: about an hour

4. What happens on the next day?
The patient can seat down, walk, and take a shower. It might feel a mild pain to strong intensity but that is easily avoided by taking some pain relievers.

5. Draining: The draining is necessary to avoid liquid pockets on the incision and it is maintained for 48 hours.

6. Place of incision and scarring
The incision is done between the buttocks, staying that way, totally hidden when the patient is standing up.

7. Lying down
To sleep the patient must lye down – on the stomach - or sideways for about 7 to 10 days, avoiding this way, direct pressure on the implant.

8. Place where the implant is put
Inside the biggest muscle of the human body, called gluteus maximus. The implant is put exactly in the middle of the muscle, keeping this way, the same amount of muscle in the front and back. This way, the implant is masked and it seems natural.

9. Discharge from hospital
The patient can leave the hospital in 48 hours and can travel – sitting normally - by car or plane.

10. The first week after surgery
After returning to your home, the patient on the first week must rest. It is not necessary to rest on a bed, the patient can walk and seat down still feeling a little bit of discomfort. The great majority of patients can, between the forth and the fifth day – go out for a little walk, for dinner.

11. Returning to regular activities
The great majority of patients can go back to their regular activities in about ten days. On this day, the patient can drive his/her car and go back to a regular routine that does not demand great efforts.


12. How long an implant last
The implants made during the 80’s used to last between 10 to 15 years. Nowadays, the implants have a life of around 20 years or more.

13. Sitting down
You do not seat down on the implant. The implant is localized on the upper 2/3 of the buttocks and the body weight when sitting down is relieved on the inferior third.

14. Precations in the long run
Not a single safety measure is necessary with the implant on the long run. The tracking of the implant’s condition can be done through a simple ultrasound.

15. Personal life interference
There’s no physical restriction after the recovery, which lasts about 2 months. Exercises and any sports can be played after this period of 2 months, including skiing, horse ride, radical sports and even those where falling can be foreseeing.

16. Injections on the buttocks
It is not recommended intramuscular injection when a patient has an implant. But it is important to remember that there is no injection that it should be given to a patient while unconscious and going to an emergency unity in this condition. Every injection must be intravenous.

17. Results
The result’s naturalness is amazing. Some wives hide it from their husbands alleging that what they’ve done was just putting some fat instead of an implant. It is very hard to touch it and even hard to feel it.

18. Kinds of implants
The only technique advised by Dr. Raul Gonzalez to all plastic surgery cases it is the implant placement inside the muscle. In this technique the implants used are smooth ones. The round implant stand out more and the egg-shaped ones are the most used to shape and fulfill. The implant’s size varies from 180 to 350ml.
19. Possibility of association with other surgeries
Not a single operation – front body – should be done in conjunction with the buttocks implant. Except it is a small liposuction.
Breast or abdomen surgeries are not recommended but it is possible to associate buttocks lifting, liposuction, and retractions or even to put some fat in order to help finalize the sculpting.
