The Scar in Buttock Augmentation
The incisions for buttocks augmentation are made in the midline, with one incision on each side. This technique ensures the proper maintenance of cleavage while preventing the skin from pulling away from the tailbone, resulting in easier and faster wound healing. The scar is located 1 cm away from the midline on both sides and measures between seven and 8 cm in length. When the buttocks are augmented, the skin is gently pulled back, making the scar virtually invisible within the depth of the created cleavage.
