Brazilian Butt Lift
For men and women who want a well balanced physique or would like more curves where there were none there is now an option: buttock enhancement (Brazilian butt lift, butt implants). This procedure can provide an improvement in buttock contour by increasing projection and creating a rounder and fuller shape. The insertion of fat or a buttock implant can also provide the appearance of a lift to the buttock region.
Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat transfer to the buttocks)
Fat transfer to the buttocks or recently termed the Brazilian Butt Lift
harvests fat from other areas of your body which is the used to enhance
the buttocks. The benefits are; it is your own fat and nothing foreign is placed in your body, the procedure will sculpt other areas (most commonly abdomen, waist, back and thighs) dramatically improving your shape. The downside is that transferring fat to other areas of the body some will be reabsorbed by the body. What we can say is: what you have remaining after three months will be yours permanently.
Brazilian Butt Lift Ideal Candidates
- Are in good medical health
- Have realistic expectations
- Have to be slightly overweight so that fat can be harvested
Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Fat is harvested using standard liposuction techniques from available areas. It is then cleaned and concentrated. Small pearl drops of fat are placed in different layers of tissue, where they will be close to blood supply. This is what allows the fat to survive.
The layering method will create a smooth, more rounded buttock with no irregular places showing through the skin. A common myth is that it will be lumpy and create cellulite. Actually just the opposite is true; fat is actually used to correct irregularities and deformities in the skin.
Brazilian Butt lift Recovery
The recovery is similar to liposuction, usually most patients are able to go back to work in five days. Your buttocks won’t feel any discomfort at all, but it may take up to a month till you fell completely normal. You will be able to sit the next day but it requires four weeks away from the gym. You must wear a body garment for four to six weeks.
Buttock Implants
Implants are often used in Plastic Surgery to shape the face, breast and calves. Also gluteal implants can improve the shape of the buttocks.
The buttock implant is made out of solid silicone and has a soft, natural feel similar to a well toned muscle. Buttock implants are available in several sizes and are shaped round or oval. The augmented buttock has a natural feel but firm to the touch like someone who has been working out with weights for many years.
Buttock Implant Surgery
The butt implant is usually inserted under the gluteus muscle or just under the muscle fascia. This butt implant procedure takes approximately an hour and a half. The incision is hidden between the buttocks in the midline region. The butt implant does not affect sitting since it is placed away from the bony area of the buttocks. Unlike fat transplants which often shrink and become reabsorbed by the body the insertion of a buttock implant will produce a permanent enhancement of the area.
Buttock Implant Recovery
The recovery period varies depending on the patient. If the implant is inserted under the muscle the area can be quite sore for several days. Walking is permitted and has been found to speed recovery by stretching the muscles which can become tight in response to surgery.
Buttock implants (butt implants) can be combined with liposuction of the lower back and thighs to provide further contouring of the region. If you desire a more sculpted body and enhancement of your buttocks then you may be a perfect candidate for buttock enhancement. Take a look at some before and after photos.
