A buttock lift, or gluteoplasty, is an aesthetic surgery to reshape and enhance the rear profile at the Dr. Thiago Costa clinic in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This procedure uses either silicone implants or fat transfer to add volume and improve body contours. The surgery is performed by Dr. Thiago Costa, a specialist known for high expertise in body contouring and advanced surgical techniques.
Advanced Techniques for Buttock Enhancement
Dr. Thiago Costa performs the surgery using two primary methods tailored to your goals. The first option involves silicone implants. These are placed through a small incision in the crease between the buttocks. Dr. Thiago Costa can place the implant over, under, or inside the muscle depending on your anatomy. This method provides a defined and long-lasting shape.
The second option is a fat transfer, also called lipoenxertia glútea. The surgeon harvests fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs using liposuction. This fat is purified and then injected into the buttocks. This method allows for a more natural feel and simultaneous slimming of other body areas.
Surgical Process and Safety Standards
The surgery typically takes less than 2 hours to complete. Patients stay in the hospital for about 12 to 24 hours for monitoring. Before the procedure, you will undergo a full evaluation. This includes blood tests, an ECG, and specific imaging to help with safety. The clinic follows international quality standards and holds TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation.
Recovery and the TC Private Model
The clinic uses the TC Private Recovery model for close monitoring after surgery. This system tracks your progress from the first day until your final discharge. You will receive a post-operative kit that includes compression garments and recovery essentials. Recovery steps include:
- Lying on your back for the first 2 or 3 days.
- Waiting 1 week before sitting, and then using a special cushion.
- Receiving lymphatic drainage to help reduce swelling.
- Avoiding physical exercise for at least 2 months.
