MAIN Health Cosmetic Surgery Buttock Enhancement

Inspired by the assets of stars such as J Lo and Shakira, women who have spent months on the gym trying to attain a more shapely bottom are now lining up in droves at the plastic surgeon's office.

At an average $4,000 + per bun, the procedure is not cheap and many patients take out loans for the surgery and pay it back in mortgage-like installments.

The benefits of a butt lift reportedly range from looking good again in a bikini to overall enhanced self-esteem. Possible risks include nerve damage from incision and insertion of the implants, post-surgery infection, and sometimes prolonged pain.

Buttock implant surgery lasts about two hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia. Because of the position of the implants, the recovery period presents special challenges when sitting, driving a car, or general physical activity which experts say should be avoided for several weeks post-surgery.
