Gluteal Augmentation (Buttocks and hips augmentation/ Implant placement or fat grafting)
Buttock augmentation, or gluteal augmentation, is used to improve the contour, size and/or shape of the buttocks. This is done through the use of buttock implants, fat grafting or sometimes a combination of the two.
Buttock and hips implants are silicone-filled devices that are surgically placed deep within the tissues of the buttock and hip.
Buttock and hip augmentation through the use of fat grafting involves the transfer of fat from one area of the body into the tissues of the buttocks. This technique is sometimes referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift.

- Hematic Biometry
- Blood Chemistry
- Prothrombin time
- Partial Thromboplastin Time

Cardiological Evaluation
For the safety of our patients, it is very important to be sure that before having surgery they are in optimal health condition, that is why a cardio-logical evaluation is essential.
Preferably, it is requested that this assessment is perform in our city.

COVID Protocol
The epidemiological situation that we are currently experiencing made us adapt to our new reality, that is why we adapted for you a security protocol for COVID.
This protocol is to maximize the certainty that our patients are in the best health condition for your surgery.
The tests performed are:
- PCR, for its acronym in English for 'Polymerase Chain Reaction', is a diagnostic test that allows detecting a fragment of the genetic material of a pathogen, it is being used to determine whether or not a person is infected with COVID. It must be done no more than 5 days before surgery.
- Antibody test, unlike PCR, these tests do not identify the RNA of the virus, but rather detect antibodies produced against the virus using a blood sample, which is another way of knowing if the patients have an infected status.
