HYDROGEL INJECTIONS ….HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE WORK

00:00 February 10th, 2009 by admin


Hydrogel Buttock Injections

Considering using a body filler as an option to increase the volume in your buttocks? This is what you can expect during the procedure. The most popular forms of injectable body fillers used for buttocks augmentation arePMMA or Hydrogel. Let’s assume for this example, you have chosen Hydrogel.

Consultation/first treatment, you will have your consultation where the surgeon will mark the areas where the product will be injected along with the entry points. Make sure you are aware of where the incisions will be and are OK with their location.  In some case they may become very small, permanent scars.

Make really sure during this consultation the surgeon knows exactly what type of buttock shape you want and where you want the most projection.

A goog tip, that we recommend to all potential patientsis to bring pictures of buttocks you think would look good on you. Take the time  to find pictures of body types/styles  that at generally match your own, but have a better projection. Another good tip is to bring two photos, one which shows what you consider to be too large and the other what you consider too small. This can really make a great result much more likely if you and your surgeon are in agreement about your goals. Here are the areas you will need to discuss with your surgeon using  Hydrogel buttocks injections.

 Hydrogel can increase or change the size of these areas:

1.      Upper buttock

2.      Middle buttock

3.      Lower buttock

4.      Hip expansion

5.      Outer thighs


The Day of the Procedure, what happens?

Ok, you are done with your consultation .At this point you will get changed  into a surgical garb and the surgeon will take you into a steril procedure room. A full surgical theater is generally not required for Hydrogel. After thoroughly sterilizing the area, the doctor will inject a local anesthesia directly into the buttock. You will feel minor discomfort at first, but after the area will be numb and the next set of injections  will be pretty painless.

A tinny incision is made where a small cannula is inserted to inject the product. The Hydrogel is applied just above the muscle in the lower layer of fatty tissue. Expect  multaple injections into each area of the buttocks and after each injection the surgeon will deeply massage the area which helps shape the area. It is absolutely necessary that the shape be molded during the procedure

Hydrogel buttock injections will take between one and three hours in for the first treatment.  A second treatment is common for touch ups to the shape. This normally takes place a few days later and is much faster.  The plastic surgery costs for Hydrogel buttocks injections are typicaly around fifty percent less traditional implants. They also do not involve any serious down time like buttock implants. You are genelally back to normal, in about two days or so. With all the factors weaghed in, this is a serious option to the implant option that you should consider.
