BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION OPTIONS

There are two main approaches for buttock augmentation: autologous fat transfer (Brazillian butt lift) and buttock implant surgery. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend an approach based on your aesthetic goals and body shape. Buttock implants may be chosen if you desire a more rounded appearance to your buttocks while fat grafting is an excellent way to contour and reshape your butt. If you are very slender with little excess fat, then implants may be appropriate; however, if you have sagging buttocks after massive weight loss, then fat grafting or a combination of fat and butt implant surgery may be more effective.

SO THE APPROPRIATE TECHNIQUE FOR YOU WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON :

  • Butt size and shape
  • The amount of fat you have on your body that is available for use through liposuction
  • Your goals and activity level
  • Skin quality and elasticity as well as the amount of extra skin

BUTTOCK IMPLANTS

Implants are most appropriate for treating flat or poorly defined buttocks, especialy for patients who have limited fatty tissue. Butt implants are not as effective for treating sagging buttocks that may occur after significant weight loss.

how buttock implants get done?

  • With this procedure a soft, shaped silicone implant is placed through an incision hidden inside the natural buttock crease, or an alternate incision site may be used. Dr.Fadaee will provide further details about these incision locations during the consultation.
  • The implant is positioned in a pocket below the large buttock (gluteal) muscle and above the pelvic bone.
  • The incisions are closed with sutures, drains are inserted, and a compression garment is worn following surgery.

Buttock implant surgery

Buttock implant surgery is performed at the surgery center with the patient under general anesthesia. The operation takes about 2 hours and most patients can return home the same day. The incision through which the implants are placed is made between the buttocks where any scar will be hidden from view. Sometimes fat grafting is added to the procedure to improve the final outcome and liposuction may also be used to help with the contouring.

The gluteal implants are usually placed within the muscle. However, for larger implants, it may be necessary to put the implant above the muscle. Your surgeon will have go over this with you in detail before the surgery. After the implants are put in place, your surgeon will suture the opening.

Brazilian butt lift (fat grafting)

Some people have a BBL for aesthetic reasons, but many have it after losing lots of weight, serious disfigurement after pelvic trauma or practical problems, such as holding up trousers. To be successful, a fat graft needs nutrition and so has to be injected into tissue that has a blood supply.  notice that Fat has more chance of staying in place if it is inserted into muscle .

advantages of BBL(fat grafting)

  • It uses your own body’s fat cells rather than introducing a “foreign object” into your body. This eliminates any possibility of allergic reaction and greatly reduces the chance of infection. Fat transfer is far less invasive than extensive lift surgery, so Dr. Fadaee can perform the procedure faster.
  • Fat transfer is effective for all ages.
  • Fat transfer is the most versatile, allowing Dr. Fadaee to precisely position grafted fat cells to create the desired shape, size, and contour.
  • the Results look and feel soft and natural.
  • The best candidates for fat transfer are those who have enough available fat on their body and whose skin is elastic enough to accommodate the increase in buttocks size.

The fat grafting procedure

 Dr. Fadaee will first use liposuction to gently harvest fat cells – usually from your flanks, waist, and abdomen. The cells are then processed to remove any extraneous fluid or tissue. Finally, the Dr.  will use a very thin tube called a cannula to inject the fat cells through tiny incisions strategically placed around your backside.

Most patients are able to resume their normal routine in about two to three days. Because incisions are so small, scars will be virtually undetectable.

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?

Under normal circumstances, the results of your buttock augmentation surgery will be long-lasting.

After a successful fat transfer buttock augmentation, the fat that remains will stay there for the rest of your life. Like the rest of the tissue in your body, this fat will grow and age with you. If you have implants placed, these devices do not need to be removed unless you develop a late complication.

Although the procedure improves the shape and contour of your buttocks, you should make necessary lifestyle changes to maintain the appearance of your new shape. A healthy diet and exercise regimen can be incorporated into your daily routine to maintain your look.
