Gluteal Auto-Augmentation
About the procedure
Gluteal auto-augmentation is a procedure that aims to restore the projection and roundness of the buttocks by using the patient’s tissues.
It is suitable for patients who have suffered massive weight loss, due to which they had a lower body lift. With this lift, after removing excess skin and tissue from the lower back and lifting the buttocks, it still looks flat and relaxed, so it needs to restore volume.
What Is Gluteal Auto-augmentation?
The patient is placed in an abdominal position. The operation begins with marking the areas of the incisions and the areas of fat removal. The areas of excess tissue are marked to look like two “ellipses”. These ellipses are called “flap”.
That is followed by removing the skin above the lamp and their separation and lifting from the underlying muscles. They are raised so that they can rotate without disturbing their blood supply.
The surgeon then makes two pockets under the skin. But above the muscles of the buttocks, the lamp is rotated and placed in these pockets and sewn. Drains are placed, and then the skin is closed, usually with degradable sutures, skin glue, and patches.
The operation ends with the placement of compression underwear.
Most often, the first night after the operation, the patient spends in the hospital.
Then you will be placed in compression underwear to protect the skin. Depending on your preferences, you can either go home or stay overnight in the hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens During The Operation?
Your surgeon will give you detailed information for the preoperative preparation a few weeks prior to your plastic surgery.
The most important advice for smokers is to stop smoking for at least 2 weeks (or 4 weeks and even more, if possible). Smoking prevents healing and increases the risk of complications. You should not smoke until the wounds heal well, at least two weeks after surgery.
You should stop taking aspirin or medicine containing aspirin, anti inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they all increase the risk of bleeding. Your surgeon will advise you how long prior to the operation you should stop taking these medicines.
High blood pressure also needs to be well controlled during surgery. So if your blood pressure is elevated, you should discuss it with your surgeon.
It is extremely important to discuss your expectations with your plastic surgeon. This will allow him to assess whether they are achievable with the selected procedure. In some cases, two or three sessions may be needed to achieve the desired effect, and in others – it may be necessary to combine procedures for a better result.
You will be accompanied by an employee of ours to the clinic and where you are staying before and after the operation.
What Are The Risks Of This Operation?
This operation, like any other, carries very minimal risks such as:
- Bleeding;
- Infection;
- unsatisfactory result;
- wound defect;
- hypertrophic scar or keloid.
How Is The Recovery Going?
The doctor will determine when the drains will be removed and may remain for several days. Bathing can usually begin on the 10th day after surgery. In the early postoperative period, you may have some discomfort, which generally resembles muscle tension after a workout, but this is usually not painful.
Apart from that, you will not bend your waist much, and you will have to refrain from this for a few weeks until the tissues heal and stretch. You should change your weight often and use cushioned seats not to put too much weight on the lamp. In the first six weeks, compression underwear is worn to reduce swelling and improve results. In addition, exercise is prohibited for the first six weeks. You can expect the node to decrease in the next few months slowly.
In all cases, you will receive complete and detailed instructions on everything you should and should not do to achieve the best possible recovery.
Online check-ups will be arranged with your doctor, usually on the 14th, first, third and sixth months.
