Gluteoplasty
Gluteoplasty is a key aesthetic procedure for women seeking to improve their appearance and self-esteem through safe techniques and natural results.
What is Gluteoplasty?
Gluteoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, or firmness of the buttocks. This is achieved through techniques such as implant placement, fat transfer (liposculpture), or a combination of both. It is ideal for individuals seeking a natural appearance and improved body symmetry.
This highly personalized procedure adapts to the specific needs of each patient. With the expertise of Dr. Andrés Barrera, patients can achieve safe and satisfactory results.
Detailed Procedure Description
Gluteoplasty begins with a thorough consultation to understand the patient’s expectations and determine the best technique. For implants, small incisions are made to insert high-quality silicone prostheses. In fat transfer, the patient’s body fat is extracted via liposuction, purified, and injected into the buttocks.
The surgery lasts 2 to 4 hours and is performed under general or epidural anesthesia, depending on the case. Dr. Andrés Barrera team ensures maximum safety throughout the procedure.
Why Undergo Gluteoplasty?
Many women seek gluteoplasty to boost their self-esteem and achieve a more proportionate and attractive figure. The procedure also corrects body imbalances or volume loss in the buttocks due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy.
Gluteoplasty not only enhances physical appearance but also positively impacts patients’ confidence and emotional well-being.
Risks of the Procedure
As with any surgery, gluteoplasty carries risks such as infections, adverse reactions to anesthesia, fluid accumulation, or implant displacement. The surgeon’s experience plays a critical role in minimizing these risks.
Under the care of Dr. Andrés Barrera, patients receive continuous monitoring and a postoperative care plan to ensure a safe recovery.

Open communication with Dr. Andrés Barrera ensures realistic expectations and thorough understanding of each step of the procedure.

After surgery, swelling and discomfort are normal but gradually subside. Patients must wear compression garments and avoid sitting directly on their buttocks during the initial weeks. Dr. Andrés Barrera provides personalized follow-up care to ensure a smooth and efficient recovery.
