Buttock Augmentation
Buttock Augmentation (sometimes called Brazilian Butt Lift) is another plastic surgery procedure growing in popularity.
A well rounded buttock adds to the shapely curves most women crave. There are two main methods of increasing butt size and shape with a butt augmentation procedure: fat grafting and implants. For Grafting, fat is taken from other regions of the body (often thighs and breasts) and grafted onto the buttocks. The second procedure involves implanting solid or semi solid implants under the upper butt muscles.
Across USA, Butt Augmentation and Butt Lift are being requested increasingly – the shapely figures made famous by Jennifer Lopez or Beyonce accelerated the trend. Generally, anyone in average physical condition or good health can be a candidate for buttock implant (augmentation) surgery, but it is best to consult your doctor.
Full activities including gym work, bicycling, and running can usually be resumed about four weeks following surgery.
Questions to ask during your Los Angeles Buttock Augmentation procedure:
What are the risks of buttock augmentation using fat grafting (butt fat injection)?
The main risk is that in about 30% of the patients significant fat absorption occurs early on necessitating a second grafting procedure. It is unlikey that further butt fat injection procedures would be necessary. Other risks such as bleeding, infection, and scarring are unlikely.
After a fat transplantation procedure, how do the buttocks feel to the touch?
Your newly shaped buttocks will usually feel natural after the healing process. Since the additional shape is created by your own living cells, your result will look and feel normal. You will not even be able to distinguish which areas have been grafted.
Do I need to wear any special garments after butt enhancement surgery?
You will wear a special surgical garment for 1-2 weeks after surgery for comfort and to minimize swelling. You will also be encouraged to have massage and ultrasound sessions beginning one week after surgery to minimize swelling, hardness, and to accelerate the healing process. This provided in-house. We realize that this is not practical for our out of town patients, and we suggest that they have these treatments in their home town whenever possible.
When can I resume exercise after my butt augmentation procedure?
Each patient will have his or her timetable depending on the exact procedure performed and individual health factors. Most patients can resume progressive exercise after 2 weeks, gradually getting back to the preoperative level after about 6 weeks.
When will I be able to sit?
You will be able to sit from the first day of your buttock enlargement surgery. However, sitting for prolonged periods of time right after surgery is not encouraged.
Why is it important to choose an experienced surgeon for buttock augmentation?
Like anything else, experience matters. Choosing a plastic surgeon who performs buttock augmentation on a routine basis will increase the likelihood that you will have an optimal result.
