Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)
Buttock or gluteal augmentation is a procedure used to improve the volume, shape, and contour of the buttocks. Buttock augmentation can be achieved through fat grafting, (famously referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL), silicone implants, or sometimes a combination of these two techniques
Here are two common ones
Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)
This procedure aims to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the buttocks. It involves using the patient’s own fat, typically harvested through liposuction from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. The harvested fat is then processed and purified before being re-injected into various areas of the buttocks to create a fuller and more shapely look. The Brazilian Butt Lift is known for providing a natural result by using the patient’s own tissue.
Buttock Implants
Butt implant surgery involves placing silicone implants into the buttocks to increase their size and improve their shape. This procedure is often chosen by individuals who desire a more dramatic augmentation and do not have enough excess fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift. The implants come in various sizes and shapes to achieve the desired outcome.
Pre-Buttock augmentation operation tips
- Choose a Qualified Surgeon: Research and select a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in buttock augmentation procedures
- Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Leading up to the surgery, focus on maintaining a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity.
- Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: If you smoke, it's advisable to quit or at least refrain from smoking for a few weeks before and after the surgery.
- Medications and Supplements: Inform your surgeon about any medications, supplements, or vitamins you are currently taking.
POST- BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION OPERATION TIPS
After the surgery you must adhere to the doctor’s instructions to have a quick and healthy recovery time. Some of these instructions are as follows:
- Refrain from sitting or sleeping on the butt for long periods, at least a week after the operation.
- Wear the special corset for the buttocks operation for at least three weeks.
- Refrain from exercises or activities that require significant effort until at least a month after the surgery.
- Be careful not to lose significant weight, so the butt does not lose the fatty packets implanted.
Stages of Buttock Augmentation Surgery by Self-Fat Injection
Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, you will discuss your goals, expectations, and medical history.
Brazilian Butt Lift is usually performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
The first step involves liposuction to harvest excess fat from areas of your body with fat deposits, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. This fat will be purified and processed for reinjection into the buttocks.
The harvested fat is carefully processed to remove impurities, excess fluids, and damaged fat cells. This purified fat is then ready for injection.
The processed fat is injected into specific areas of the buttocks to achieve the desired size and shape. The surgeon strategically injects the fat to create a natural and balanced result. Multiple injections are performed to ensure even distribution.
The surgeon sculpts and contours the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and proportion.
After the fat injections are complete, the incisions from the liposuction and injection sites are carefully closed using sutures.
