If you are looking for butt implants in Medellín, gluteoplasty or butt augmentation with implants, Dr. John Orlas Blair offers an advanced technique focused on safety, body proportion, and elegant results.
Gluteoplasty with implants is an aesthetic surgery designed to increase volume and improve the shape of the buttocks in patients who desire greater projection, firmness, and symmetry.

What is Gluteoplasty with Implants?

Gluteoplasty is a body plastic surgery procedure that uses special silicone implants for the buttocks to:
  • Increase gluteal volume
  • Improve projection and shape
  • Correct asymmetries
  • Achieve greater body definition

It is ideal for patients who:

  • Have little natural volume
  • Are not ideal candidates for fat transfer
  • Are looking for more projected and structured results


It is also known as: Butt augmentation with implants, Gluteal implant surgery

Preoperative Evaluation for Gluteoplasty or Butt Implants

The initial consultation is the most important step before performing a gluteoplasty or butt implants, as it allows designing a completely personalized and safe plan for each patient.
During this consultation, your health status, medical history, and habits are reviewed to ensure that you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure.

1

I perform a detailed body analysis, examine the areas to be treated, the quality of your skin, and the distribution of fat, in order to define the best technique.

2

It is also very important to listen to your goals: talking with you to understand what you want to improve and align expectations with real and natural results; it is equally important to give you an explanation of the procedure: you are explained step by step how gluteoplasty is performed, the type of anesthesia, recovery times, and postoperative care.

3

The initial consultation is the ideal moment to clarify all your concerns and feel confident before making a decision.

4

Finally, during this consultation I will send your tests, explain the use of medications and postoperative care.

Preoperative preparation for surgery

I usually request the following tests: complete blood count, coagulation tests, pregnancy test. Depending on age and some previous medical conditions or those found during the consultation, additional studies will be requested.

It is important to stop medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, warfarin, anti-inflammatory drugs, omega-3 supplements, ginkgo biloba, green tea, vitamin E, and garlic at least 14 days before surgery. These instructions must be followed under medical supervision. You should not decide to stop medications prescribed by your doctor without prior authorization.

Maintain good hydration, balanced nutrition, avoid alcohol 2 weeks before. Do not smoke at least 4 weeks before the procedure to reduce the risk of complications.
  • For the day of surgery it is very important to have an 8-hour fasting period.
  • Go to the clinic with comfortable clothing
  • Be accompanied by an adult
  • Bring your identification document
  • Leave jewelry or valuable objects at home
  • Have your fingernails without nail polish

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to all your questions in this section.

How long does butt augmentation surgery with implants take?

The surgery usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

What type of anesthesia is used in gluteoplasty?

It is generally performed under general anesthesia for greater safety and comfort.

Procedure, Technique, and Types of Implants

The surgery is performed in certified operating rooms under strict international safety standards.

Surgical technique:

  • Discreet incisions near the intergluteal fold.
  • Creation of a pocket within the gluteal muscle.
  • Placement of high-resistance silicone implants.
  • Closure with aesthetic sutures.
Butt implants use prostheses to increase volume, while fat transfer uses the patient’s own fat. Implants offer greater projection and more predictable results in thin patients.
It depends on the patient. Implants are ideal for thin patients; BBL is better suited for patients with available fat. Currently, I perform hybrid gluteoplasty, in which I combine butt implants and fat transfer to achieve the advantages of both techniques.
Highly resistant silicone implants are used, specifically designed to withstand pressure and movement in the gluteal area.
They are generally placed in a plane behind the gluteus maximus muscle, which allows for a more natural result and reduces complications.
The ideal size in gluteoplasty depends on the patient’s anatomy, pelvic structure, available tissue, and desired result. Selection is personalized to achieve a harmonious, natural, and safe result.

Gluteoplasty uses advanced surgical techniques aimed at maximizing safety and achieving natural and proportional results. The most commonly used technique is the placement of implants in an intramuscular or retromuscular plane, meaning within or behind the gluteus maximus muscle. This approach provides better implant coverage, reduces the risk of complications, and delivers a more natural look and feel.

The procedure includes discreet incisions, typically located within the intergluteal fold, allowing scars to remain minimally visible. Through these incisions, a precise pocket is created where high-resistance silicone implants are placed, specifically designed to withstand pressure and movement in the gluteal area.

In some cases, a hybrid gluteoplasty can be performed, combining implants with fat transfer, using the patient’s own fat, in order to improve contour transitions, soften edges, and achieve a more harmonious result.

The choice of technique depends on the patient’s anatomy, available tissue, and desired outcome, always prioritizing safety and natural results.

Yes, it is very common to combine gluteoplasty with liposuction to improve body contour. Currently, I perform hybrid gluteoplasty, combining butt implants and fat transfer to achieve the advantages of both techniques.

  • Attend all postoperative follow-ups

You should consult immediately if you present:

  • Fever
  • Intense or progressive pain
  • Redness or discharge
  • Sudden increase in volume
  • Changes in the shape of the buttock
Implant displacement is uncommon. If it occurs, corrective surgery may be required.
It is uncommon. They are designed to withstand pressure, but like any implant, they may change over time.
Yes, implants can be removed or replaced in case of complications or if the patient wants to modify the result.

Certification, experience, previous results, authorized clinic, and postoperative follow-up.

Recovery, Care, and Timelines

Postoperative recommendations:

  • Avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for 2–3 weeks
  • Sleep face down or on your side
  • Use a postoperative compression garment
  • Avoid intense exercise for 6–8 weeks
  • Do not lift excessive weight during the first month
  • Attend scheduled medical follow-ups


Swelling and results:

  • Initial swelling: 4–6 weeks
  • Final result: 3–6 months
Initial recovery takes approximately 2 weeks, and full recovery can take between 8 and 12 weeks.

Postoperative care includes all necessary follow-up medical appointments and close monitoring of the patient’s progress, as well as observation for warning signs and careful follow-up to ensure proper recovery.

Proper adherence to postoperative care is essential to achieve optimal, long-lasting, and safe results.

Avoid direct pressure, use the indicated garments, attend follow-ups, and follow medical instructions.
  • Administrative work: 15 days
  • Physically demanding work: 4–6 weeks


Return to activities depends on individual recovery and type of work.

It is recommended to avoid sitting directly on the implant for approximately 2 to 3 weeks. During consultation, I will explain the most appropriate way to sit.
Yes, but it is important to follow medical recommendations. Generally, direct pressure on the buttocks is avoided during the first few weeks, using special cushions if necessary.
It may affect implant position or cause discomfort. This is why it is essential to strictly follow postoperative instructions.
During the first weeks after gluteoplasty, it is normal to feel pressure or discomfort when sitting. However, once recovery is complete, implants usually integrate properly and do not cause discomfort in daily life.
It is recommended to sleep face down or on your side during the first weeks, but after 3 months you can sleep on your back.
Generally between 2 and 3 weeks, depending on the patient’s recovery.
Exercise is resumed progressively after 6 weeks.
After full recovery, they do not affect daily life or physical activity.
After full recovery, implants do not limit physical activity. Patients can return to their normal routine, including intense exercise.
The scar is usually located in the intergluteal fold, making it barely visible.

Duration, Changes, and Maintenance

Yes, implants are designed to be long-lasting, although they may require replacement in the future depending on evolution or preferences.
They can last many years, even more than a decade, depending on care and patient evolution. It is very important to perform follow-up with ultrasound.
Implants are designed to last many years, but they may require replacement in the future depending on the patient’s evolution. A reference duration of about 10 years should be considered.
In most cases no, especially with the retromuscular technique.
Not in most cases, especially when they are placed within the muscle.
There are revision or adjustment options, although proper planning reduces this risk.

Travel, Logistics, and Costs

It is recommended to stay at least 15 days after surgery.
Yes, 15 days after surgery with medical authorization and taking precautions.

 

Why you won’t find prices listed here?

As a plastic surgeon certified by the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP) and an International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), I don’t publish fixed prices. No two bodies are alike, and quoting a surgery without evaluating you first would be irresponsible.

What I can tell you is what determines the cost of your case: the areas being treated, the length of the procedure, the surgical facility and team, the type of anesthesia, and your individual medical profile.

In your consultation you receive the exact cost of your procedure.

For international patients: your first consultation is done by video call, so you’ll have your complete surgical plan and quote before booking any travel.

What are the risks of gluteoplasty with implants?

Gluteoplasty with implants is a safe procedure when performed by a certified plastic surgeon in an authorized clinic with proper protocols. However, like any surgery, there are risks that must be known by the patient.
These risks can be significantly reduced with proper patient selection, correct surgical technique, and strict postoperative follow-up.

Infection:
It may present with redness, pain, increased local temperature, or fever. In mild cases it can be treated with antibiotics, but in more severe cases it may require implant removal. Fortunately, it is rare.
Seroma:
Accumulation of fluid around the implant. It is reduced with the use of drains for approximately one week postoperatively.
Hematoma:
Accumulation of blood in the operated area. It may cause swelling, pain, and tension. In some cases it requires surgical drainage.
Implant displacement:
It may occur if the implant moves from its original position. It is uncommon when the patient follows instructions, but it may require corrective surgery.
Capsular contracture:
The body forms a capsule around the implant. In some cases this capsule hardens, which may cause deformity or discomfort.
Wound dehiscence:
Partial or total opening of the surgical incision. It may occur due to tension in the area or poor healing.
Changes in sensation:
It is common to experience numbness or altered sensation in the gluteal area. It is usually temporary, but in rare cases it may be permanent.
Prolonged pain:
Although initial pain is normal, in some patients it may persist longer than expected.
Asymmetry:
There may be slight differences between both buttocks. In some cases it may require correction.
