What does glute surgery involve?
Glute augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis at the Hospital Mediterráneo. This means it does not require hospitalization—just a stay of a few hours in the recovery room. The average time in the recovery area is approximately 2–3 hours.
A small incision of 2.5 cm is made on each side of the intergluteal fold. The scar is almost imperceptible; it allows optimal placement of the implant in the submuscular plane. No drains are used. A dressing is placed, which we replace after 3–4 days and which is kept in place until the removal of stitches in 2 weeks.
Next, we list the details of the procedure to help you clarify any questions:
- Operating time: 1–2 hours.
- General & local anesthesia.
- Major outpatient surgery.
- No drains or postoperative dressings.
- Recovery room stay: 1–2 hours.
- Recovery at home: 2–3 days.

Why choose gluteoplasty?
Glute augmentation, also known as gluteoplasty, is not only an aesthetic decision—it can also be the solution to different personal situations and needs.
It is recommended for:
Enhancing a small or underdeveloped buttock
For those women who feel their bust area has not developed enough or who want a greater volume.
Lifting a drooping buttock
By increasing the buttock size and placing the implant at the point of maximum projection, we can lift the buttocks, making them more harmonious.
Restoring lost volume
After events such as pregnancy or significant weight loss, the buttocks can lose their original shape and volume.
Correcting congenital changes
Issues such as a flat or underdeveloped buttock, or other congenital conditions, can be treated with this surgery.
All in all, this procedure not only improves the size and shape of the buttocks, but can also help address problems related to self-esteem and confidence.
At Clínica San Pío, we offer glute augmentation with silicone implants using a novel technique that enables a rapid recovery without hospital admission or drains. This is an ideal option for those who want to improve the shape and volume of their buttocks safely and effectively.
Reasons to choose silicone implants for the buttocks
Glute augmentation with silicone implants offers many advantages. In particular, it is one of the most popular options for those who want a long-lasting, natural aesthetic change. These glute implants are specifically designed to fit the anatomy of the buttocks, helping ensure the final result is as harmonious as possible.
Here are some of the main reasons to choose this gluteoplasty with silicone intervention:

Risks of silicone implants in the buttocks
Although glute augmentation, when performed by a qualified surgeon, is a safe procedure, like any surgical intervention it is not without risks. Potential adverse effects include moderate pain, bruising (hematomas), infections, or implant malposition. However, these complications are very rare, and in most cases they can be resolved with medical treatment.
The following are some possible complications and associated risks:
- Pain: moderate, similar to submuscular breast implants
- Sciatic pain: 10% for a few days and improves with corticosteroids
- Hematoma: rare
- Infection: very rare; responds to antibiotics and the implant is rarely removed
- Malposition: 5% with an acceptable difference between right and left

Types of buttock prostheses
The world of glute prosthetics offers several possibilities. These are more cohesive, or dense, implants than those used in the breast. We use smooth implants, and unlike what happens with breast implants, they very rarely need to be changed.
These implants come from research and technology, and they are essential for those seeking a lasting aesthetic change that respects the naturalness and harmony of their body.
It is important to keep in mind that choosing the implants is key to achieving the desired outcome.
There are different types of prostheses:
- Round smooth prostheses with a concave base
- Round smooth prostheses with a flat base
It is essential that, together with the surgeon, the type of implant best suited to your expectations and body proportions is chosen. Specialized clinics, such as Clínica de San Pío, work with high-quality implants that meet all safety standards; in this case we use implants from the German brand Polytech.
Recovery after gluteoplasty surgery
Recovery varies from patient to patient. It is normal to feel discomfort during the first few days, but over time, and by following the surgeon’s instructions, you will be able to return to your usual activities. Attending regular check-ups is essential to make sure everything is going as planned.
After surgery, it is necessary to follow a careful recovery process to help ensure optimal results. During the first weeks, it is normal to experience some degree of pain and swelling, as well as the appearance of bruises (hematomas).
At Clínica de San Pío, we support each patient on their path to recovery by offering personalized follow-up and specific recommendations to make this process easier. It is important to avoid intense physical exertion and follow the medical guidelines to the letter.
The final result will be seen gradually, reaching its definitive state between 6 and 12 months after surgery. During this time, it is essential to be patient and maintain clear communication with our medical team.
