Sometimes the buttock fold becomes loose, sags down too much or is unsymmetrical at the top of the legs. The shape and position of the buttock fold can be corrected with liposculpture or with a buttock fold correction. The scar resulting from this procedure is hidden in the fold under the buttock.
During a consultation the doctor will establish the cause of your problem. A comprehensive tissue assessment by a skilled and experienced surgeon will define if you are a good candidate for a buttock fold correction.
Each buttock corrective procedure is different and varies from person to person. The surgeon must first carry out a thorough assessment in order to achieve the most beautiful and permanent results. During a consultation with the surgeon he will determine which is the best technique for you and exactly what you can expect.
Buttock fold correction surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis. This means that you arrive at the Wellness Kliniek in the morning for your procedure. After your treatment you rest for a while in one of our patient rooms. The same evening you are fit and well enough to return home or to your hotel.
During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are a suitable candidate.
During your consultation you can expect:
Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.
Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.
After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
