What gluteal augmentation with implants is and what it corrects

Gluteal augmentation with implants is a surgery that involves placing implants in the gluteal region to provide greater volume, improve lateral projection and harmonize the silhouette. The implants are usually anatomical, meaning they have a shape designed to adapt to the natural contour of the body.

This procedure can help in cases such as:

  • Flat glutes or glutes with little volume.
  • Marked asymmetries between both glutes.
  • Loss of shape after weight changes or aging.
  • Desire for projection that cannot be achieved with exercise alone.

It is not an alternative for weight loss or for treating severe skin laxity. In those cases, the surgeon may suggest other options or combine procedures based on individual evaluation.

Who it is indicated for and who it is not

Gluteal augmentation surgery with implants may be indicated in adults who have adequate general health, stable weight and realistic expectations. It is also an option for those who do not have enough body fat for a procedure such as BBL in Bogotá.

In general, it is not recommended in the following cases:

  • Uncontrolled chronic diseases.
  • Coagulation disorders without medical management.
  • Active infections in the area to be treated.
  • Recent pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Unrealistic expectations about the result.

The final decision always depends on medical evaluation. Dr. Sandro Florez explains the specific risks and benefits for each person during consultation before scheduling any surgery.

How the surgery works with Dr. Sandro Florez

Evaluation

The process begins with a consultation in Bogotá. There, the medical history is reviewed, the gluteal area is examined and expectations are discussed. Dr. Sandro Florez explains the type of implant, the location of the incision and the proposed surgical plan.

Surgery

The procedure is performed in an accredited surgical environment. The incision is usually located in the intergluteal fold or in a less visible area. The implant is placed in an anatomical plane that the surgeon defines based on the patient's characteristics. The usual duration varies, but generally takes between one and three hours.

Afterwards

After surgery, the patient goes to a recovery room for observation. Instructions are given on wound care, use of compression garments and movement restrictions. Follow-up includes subsequent check-ups at Dr. Sandro Florez's office.

Tests, preparation and anesthesia

Before surgery, laboratory tests are requested and, in some cases, evaluation by other specialties. This allows identification of conditions that may increase surgical risk. Preparation includes stopping certain medications, avoiding cigarette smoking and not eating in the hours prior to surgery.

Anesthesia may be general or regional, depending on the surgical plan and the anesthesiologist's recommendation. During the evaluation in Bogotá, specific instructions are explained for each patient. It is also recommended to arrange transportation and accompaniment for the day of surgery and the first days of recovery.

Recovery and postoperative period

Recovery from gluteal augmentation with implants requires patience and compliance with medical instructions. In the first days it is common to feel discomfort, swelling and difficulty sitting normally. Dr. Sandro Florez usually recommends relative rest and avoiding placing weight directly on the glutes for a period of time.

Some general recommendations include:

  • Wear the compression garment as instructed.
  • Sleep face down or on your side during the first weeks.
  • Avoid intense physical exertion.
  • Attend scheduled check-ups in Bogotá.
  • Do not smoke during recovery.

Return to daily activities varies by case. Most people resume office work after a few weeks, but strenuous exercise usually waits longer.

Results: what to expect and when

The final result of gluteal augmentation with implants is not visible immediately. Initial swelling can hide the definitive shape for several weeks or months. Over time, the tissues adapt to the implant and the contour looks more natural.

It is important to understand that:

  • Volume is noticeable from the beginning, but the shape improves over time.
  • The scar matures progressively.
  • The result can be affected by significant weight changes.
  • Implants do not stop the natural aging of the skin.

Dr. Sandro Florez performs check-ups to verify progress and answer questions throughout the process. If you are looking for non-surgical alternatives, you can review options such as liposuction in Bogotá or abdominal etching.

Why have surgery with a surgeon in Bogotá

Gluteal augmentation with implants is a surgery that must be performed by a surgeon with training in body procedures. In Bogotá there are multiple options, but the choice of professional influences safety and subsequent follow-up.

Dr. Sandro Florez offers a process based on honest evaluation, clear explanation of risks and close follow-up. His office is located at Calle 126 # 7-26, Torre 126, office PH-1303, Bogotá, an accessible point for local patients and for those traveling from other cities.

How much gluteal augmentation with implants costs in Bogotá

The cost of gluteal augmentation with implants in Bogotá depends on several factors: the type of implant, the surgical team's fees, the location where the surgery is performed and preoperative tests. Therefore, it is not possible to give a single figure without a prior evaluation.
