Buttock Enhancement

Generally, buttock enhancements include buttock augmentation and buttock reduction. Although most women want to boost the size and shape of their buttocks, some want to reduce their size to attain a beautifully contoured butt.

Buttock reduction can only be achieved through liposuction. This is the process of extracting fat stores from areas of the body that has excess fats. Liposuction is typically a day surgery performed by plastic surgeons in a clinical setting.

Buttock augmentation, on the other hand, can be performed through various techniques. This includes fat transfer, buttock implants, and buttock injections.

Here are some considerations that you may deem important before getting a buttocks enhancement:

• Your medical and overall health condition;
• The laxity of your skin;
• Availability of a cosmetic clinic near you;
• Know the pros and cons of each treatment like fat transfer, implants, liposuction and other procedures;
• Be ready with the cost of the treatment;
• The hours or duration of your treatment option;
• The buttocks size and shape that you indeed to achieve; and
• Your healing time, that is, will it last weeks or months.

Fat transfer is a medical procedure that involves transferring fat stores from one part of the body to another. In this procedure, fat stores are harvested from the part of the body that has excess fats such as the thighs, hips, abdomen, stomach or upper arms. The harvested fats are then processed and reinjected to the buttocks using cannulas or fine needles.

One of the best cosmetic procedures for buttock augmentation through fat transfer is the Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL.

Brazilian butt lift or BBL is a non-surgical procedure that provides patients with a jauntier, more prominent, and natural-looking buttock shape and size. This cosmetic procedure uses fat stores drawn from the patient’s own body. Thus, BBL is guaranteed safe and effective while imploring long-lasting and reliable results.

This cosmetic butt lift can only be performed by experienced and board-certified cosmetic doctors or surgeons. The aim is to provide your buttocks with the right proportion to your body.

Both are buttock augmentation procedures that are performed through surgery. However, Brazilian butt lift uses natural fat grafting techniques while butt implant uses synthetic medical grade silicone materials.

Although both procedures can help shape and contour your buttocks, the Brazilian butt lift offers a less invasive procedure. It involves small incisions where the cannulas are inserted for fat extraction and the purified fat is injected into the injection sites around the buttocks.

Buttock implants, on the other hand, involve bigger cuts where the silicone is inserted. The size of silicone depends on the results that the patient expects from the treatment. Thus, implant surgery may entail a longer recovery time compared to a Brazilian butt lift.

Liposuction is ideal for those who want to reduce the size of their buttocks. If you feel like your buttocks need reshaping by reducing their size, you may go for a liposuction procedure. In which case, fat is extracted and disposed of.

The Brazilian butt lift consists of the following steps:

Preoperative Step: Anaesthetic

A few minutes before the first stage of the surgery, an anaesthetic is applied to ensure a comfortable and anxious-free procedure. Whether general or local anaesthetic is to be used will depend on the part of the body where fat is extracted, your buttocks, and the extent of your buttocks condition.

Although in most cases, general anaesthesia is preferred because This buttock enhancement technique is a surgical procedure, some patients can bear the pain using local sedatives. If you are allergic to the anaesthetic, you may also ask for a dose of an anti-nausea pill before the administration of anesthetics as this may lead to vomiting and dizziness.

Stage 1: Liposuction

The surgery proper starts with marking the extraction points of the body area where fat stores are to be harvested. In which case, incisions are made and a set of cannulas are inserted into them. These cannulas are slowly rocked back and forth to loosen up the fat stores. And the fats are suctioned with a liposuction device.

Intermediary Step: Fat Purification

Stage 2: Reinjection

When the fats are purified and ready, a set of cannulas will be inserted into the incisions around your buttocks. The fats will then be injected through a set of injections attached to the other end of the cannulas. After the fat transfer procedure, the incisions are sutured to prevent unwarranted bleeding.

Postoperative Step: Compression Garments

After the fat transfer procedure, your cosmetic doctor will suit you up with a compression garment. This will help enhance blood flow and oxygen circulation in the treated area. It can also help your body heal faster.

After the surgery, you may feel and notice that the shape and size of your buttocks seem a lot bigger than what you expected. This is a normal aftereffect of the fat grafting procedure. However, this is tailored to give room for the absorption process during the healing stage.

This is the period of the recovery phase where the fats gradually settle in and integrate with your buttock tissues. Some amount of the transferred fats are also is intended for blood absorption. After about four to eight weeks, you will see that about 40% of the fat transfer has been absorbed by the bloodstreams and only 60% have integrated with your buttocks tissues.
