The HYAcorp procedure for enhancing buttock volume?

A preliminary information consultation is scheduled during which the practitioner analyses your figure and conducts a clinical examination of your buttocks. Following this consultation, they assess the amount of hyaluronic acid to be injected. During the procedure, it is necessary to adopt a prone position to facilitate access to the treatment area. The first step involves thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the skin of the buttocks. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and lasts between one hour and an hour and a half.

Thanks to anaesthesia, the procedure is painless and does not leave scars, although slight swelling and bruising may occur, usually disappearing quickly. Once the sensations of pain are eliminated, the professional proceeds with the injections of macromolecular hyaluronic acid into the subcutaneous tissues. Generally, this completely resorbable substance is contained in 10 mL syringes. With each injection made in fine, regular rows, the clinician massages the treated area. The aim is to standardise the results and shape the buttocks according to the desired effect. It should be noted that the procedure is carried out under strict sterile conditions to avoid the risks of local or even systemic infections.

The discomfort experienced is minimal during and after the procedure. The final result can be observed between 3 and 4 weeks following the procedure. Moreover, the effects are temporary due to the resorbable nature of the gel used to sculpt the buttocks. It is possible that they may completely disappear after 24 months. Certain follow-up measures must be adhered to, such as keeping the treated area perfectly clean, not sleeping on your back for at least a week, not sitting for more than 45 consecutive minutes, and avoiding physical activity for at least two weeks.

However, according to the results of a study conducted on 91 patients, adverse effects can occur. Early effects (within 15 days following the procedure) and late effects (appearing beyond 15 days) were reported, but all were considered moderate.
Early effects were the most common, affecting 47 participants (50%), compared to only 3 cases of late effects (3.3%). The most common adverse effect was swelling at the implantation site, observed in 25 participants (27.5%), followed by bruising, itching, and mild inflammation. A significantly higher risk of adverse effects was noted in participants who had previously received a buttock treatment with implants, fat transfer, poly-L-lactic acid, or another hyaluronic acid.
