What Is A Buttock Augmentation
A buttock augmentation, also known as a Brazilian butt lift, is a procedure that utilizes liposculpture to shape and enhance your buttocks. First, the plastic surgeon will sculpture out the desired shape with liposculpturing. The fat that is extracted during the procedure is then processed and concentrated. Next, the now concentrated fat is carefully positioned into the fatty tissues of the buttocks in such as way that it will improve the size and the volume of your new buttocks.
Many people confuse a buttock augmentation with butt implants. While the results are similar, the benefit of using fat instead of implants is that the fat comes directly from the patient. This means that you eliminate the risk of rejection and scarring.
Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Butt Implants
In addition to eliminating rejection, a Brazilian butt lift also provides you with a new buttocks that not only looks normal, but feels normal as well. Implants are inserted into the buttock region and add a more rounded shape to your buttock. In some cases, implants may result in a less natural appearance, which is why many choose a Brazilian butt lift instead. The Brazilian butt lift will result in a butt that appears to have a normal lift and contour. For the best results, it’s important to consult with your plastic surgeon before the procedure to decide which route will give you the desired outcome.
The Results Will Be Proportionate
During your initial consultation, your doctor will advise you on the shape, size, and type of procedure that will deliver the best results for your body type. While you may desire a large, full buttocks, your procedure will be tailored to fit your physique. Even so, it’s still a good idea to have some sort of inclination what type of buttocks you would ideally want to have. Your doctor will be able to tell you if it is possible or he or she will give you examples of buttocks that would better fit your body proportionately.
Long-Lasting Results
One of the downsides of using implants is that they only last for so many years before they will need to be replaced with new ones. Butt implants will typically last for 10 years, at which point you will need to schedule another surgery to exchange your implants.
On the other hand, a Brazilian butt lift uses your own fat. As you heal, the fatty tissue reconnects with the blood supply in your buttocks and merges with the other tissue. Once you are completely healed, the results of a Brazilian butt lift are permanent and you will not have to worry about another procedure in the future.
Because the results are permanent, it’s important that you are absolutely sure about the results before you have the procedure. Your doctor will provide you with all the information you will need to be sure of your decision, however, it is wise to note that if you are unhappy with the outcome it can potentially cause discomfort and cost more money to have it fixed.
