Buttocks enhancement
CALL AND BOOK A FREE CONSULTATION WITH A DOCTOR TODAY!
The shape and size of the buttocks has a significant influence on the aesthetics of the rest of the body as shapely, round buttocks can make the waist and thighs look smaller, and bring the torso into a more pleasing proportion. However the buttocks are a difficult area of the body to shape through exercise.
If you always wanted a more curvaceous bottom or you feel that your bottom is flat and shapeless but you are not prepared to risk drastic and painful surgery, The Private Clinic offers a new way to get the body you want without surgery or implants.
Macrolane is the first filler for body aesthetics. It quickly creates volume without the need of permanent implants. There’s no general anaesthetic, no hospital stay, no scars and no time away from work.

What is Macrolane™?
Macrolane™ gel consists of Hyaluronic Acid – a manmade version of a natural substance that your body normally produces. It attracts water once injected into the skin to give an all round ‘plumper’ look. Made by leading pharmaceutical company Q-Med, it has been used for many years in aesthetic treatments.
Is Macrolane the same as Restylane?
They are both based on stabilized non-animal hyaluronic acid gels that are developed from Q-Med’s patented NASHA technology which has a solid research history of about 15 years.
Restylane Sub-Q is CE-marked for facial tissue augmentation and Macrolane is CE-marked for volume enhancement in the body including breasts.
How does the treatment work?
The 45-minute treatment involves a simple injection that augments the buttocks to give volume. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area being treated.
What are the advantages over invasive surgery such as silicone implants?
- Macrolane™ is performed under local anesthetic rather than general anaesthetic
- Is a quick walk in-walk out procedure
- Less pain
- Results are natural looking
- No need to take time off work or off-work activities
- Minimal risk of scarring
Does the treatment hurt?
No as the doctor will numb the area with a local anaesthetic before the procedure.
Is it safe?
MacrolaneTM consists of Hyaluronic acid which already exists in your body. Extensive trials since 2002 have shown no long-term issues with using MacrolaneTM.
There have not been any reports of life-threatening reaction to NASHA reported following 10 million treatments.
Clinical studies show that transient local reactions such as swelling, redness, tenderness occur following treatment with Macrolane. .
When can I see the results?
Results are immediate. Macrolane™ feels firm for a few days as it absorbs water. After a week or two, it begins to soften and after a few weeks becomes quite soft and just like normal tissues.
How long does the effect last?
The duration of Macrolane is about 12 - 14 months, but variability does exist. Generally we see clients coming for top-ups after 9-12 months as they notice some change in shape and volume. There is however no hard and fast rule as to when you need a subsequent top-up, if at all. It is completely up to you.
Is there any downtime?
The buttocks can feel quite stiff for one to two weeks but you won’t need time off from work.
How much does it cost?
Costs vary depending on the amount of treatment required and will be properly assessed during your consultation.
