In general, the best candidates for buttock augmentation are:18 years of age or older In good physical health Psychologically stable Wanting to improve their appearance Realistic in their expectations Having this surgery for the first time
The above is only a partial list of the criteria that your surgeon will consider in determining whether or not this procedure is appropriate for you. Be sure to ask your surgeon if he / she considers you an ideal candidate for buttock augmentation.
During the consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. Because this is a highly personal decision, you'll want to take time to discuss all of your concerns and desires, including how large and shapely you want your buttocks to be. Show your doctor pictures of buttock sizes you like. He/she will be able to determine which size implants will achieve your preferred size. He/she will also explain the different options available to you, including incision type, location of the implant, type of implant, and whether a butt lift might also be beneficial. Your doctor should also explain the anesthesia he/she will be using during your procedure. You should tell him/her about any medications you currently are taking, and any health conditions you have. Be sure to ask all the questions you have about the surgery, and ask to see photos of the doctor's recent patients, before and after surgery. Also ask for, and follow up on, patient references.
Learning everything you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key to making an informed decision.
