Buttock Augmentation With Implant

What is a buttocks augmentation surgery?

Here are two common methods for buttock augmentation:

  1. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
    • BBL involves liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The harvested fat is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to add volume and improve contour. This method not only enhances the buttocks but also sculpts the donor areas.
  2. Buttock Implants:
    • In this method, solid silicone implants are surgically placed within the buttocks to increase volume and improve shape. The implants come in various shapes and sizes to achieve the desired result.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE PROCEDURE?

  1. Sufficient Fat Reserves:
    • For procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), having enough excess fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs is crucial for liposuction and subsequent fat transfer.
  2. Stable Weight:
    • Candidates should be at a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can impact the results of the procedure.
  3. Realistic Expectations:
    • Having realistic expectations about the outcomes of buttock augmentation is important. A good candidate understands what the procedure can and cannot achieve.
  4. Non-Smoker:
    • Smoking can increase the risk of complications and hinder the healing process.
  5. Commitment to Aftercare:
    • Following postoperative care instructions, including avoiding prolonged sitting and using compression garments, is crucial for a successful recovery.
  6. Realistic Body Mass Index (BMI):
    • Having a realistic BMI is important for overall safety and optimal results. Extreme obesity or being underweight may affect candidacy.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE PROCEDURE?

  1. Preoperative Evaluation:
    • Before the surgery, you may undergo a preoperative evaluation, which includes medical tests and assessments to ensure you are fit for the procedure.
  2. Anesthesia:
    • On the day of the surgery, you will be placed under anesthesia for your comfort during the procedure. The type of anesthesia (local or general) will depend on the extent of the surgery.
  3. Liposuction:
    • Liposuction is performed on areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The extracted fat is then purified to remove impurities and damaged cells.
  4. Fat Transfer:
    • The purified fat is carefully injected into different layers of the buttocks to enhance volume and shape. The goal is to achieve a natural-looking and proportionate result.
  5. Incisions:
    • Incisions for liposuction are typically small and strategically placed to minimize scarring. They may be located in natural body creases for discreetness.
  6. Closing Incisions:
    • After completing the fat transfer, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures.
  7. Recovery and Aftercare:
    • Postoperative care is crucial for a successful recovery.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with Fat Transfer:

  1. Avoid Sitting Directly on the Buttocks:
    • For the first few weeks after surgery, it’s typically recommended to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks. This helps minimize pressure on the newly transferred fat cells.
  2. Use a BBL Pillow or Cushion:
    • When sitting is necessary, use a BBL pillow or cushion. These specially designed pillows have a hole or open space in the center, allowing you to sit without putting direct pressure on the buttocks.
  3. Sit on the Backs of Your Thighs:
    • When sitting without a BBL pillow, try to sit on the backs of your thighs rather than directly on your buttocks. This reduces pressure on the newly augmented area.
  4. Follow Surgeon’s Instructions:
    • Adhere strictly to the postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon. They may give specific guidelines on when and how to resume regular sitting.
  5. Limit Prolonged Sitting:
    • Minimize prolonged periods of sitting during the initial weeks of recovery. This may include avoiding long car rides or flights.
