What techniques are used in buttock augmentation?
In Brazilian buttock enhancement operations, fat, buttock implants, or ready-made fillers can be used to provide volume. The person's own body fat is often used during this procedure. After this preliminary information, let's examine "What are buttock augmentation techniques?"
Buttock augmentation with fat injection
Buttock enlargement with fat injection is the most preferred method.
- The short duration of the BBL surgery, its effortless operation afterwards, and its striking results are the reasons for preference.
- With the vaser liposuction method, the fat accumulated in the abdomen, waist, and back area is first removed.
- If these fats are insufficient, the fats stored in other parts of the body are removed.
- The fats taken are collected in a special device, distilled, and injected into and around the hips.
- The transferred fats contain stem cells.
- As a result of the application performed in this way, the waist, hip, and back areas are thinned and shaped, creating a more aesthetic transition to the hip area.
- The hips are protruding, round, and narrow, achieving an aesthetic appearance.
- A one night hospital stay is recommended after the surgery.
- Mild pain may occur after the application; these pains are relieved with painkillers recommended by the surgeon.
- Routine life is returned within 3-5 days after the application.
- It is recommended to use a corset for about 3 weeks.
Butt enlargement with buttock implant
Silicone prostheses of the desired size are placed under or above the hip muscles with an incision opened around the hip. After the application, an invisible 6–8 cm scar remains in the hip fold. It is a little more painful and longer than the fat injection procedure.
When the surroundings of the implanted prostheses are shaped with the fat taken with vaser liposuction, a more natural and effective result can be obtained. The most suitable patients are those who do not have enough fat in their bodies.
Butt lift aesthetics
- Butt lift aesthetic is performed under general anesthesia.
- The procedure involves injecting gel filler into the buttocks.
- It is applied to sagging buttocks that occur as a result of excessive weight gain and loss and at advanced ages.
- Normal life is returned 15 days after the surgery.
- Light sports can be started after 30 days, and heavy sports can be started gradually after 45 days.
- Surgical scars fade over time and become invisible.
- The application has disadvantages such as allergy, irregular distribution of the filler, and high cost.
- For this reason, it is not preferred much.
Fat injection is the most preferred method among buttock implant and butt lift techniques. In some special cases, buttock implant and fat injection can be preferred together to obtain a better contour and to reduce the feeling and visibility of buttock prostheses.
Who is the buttock lift method suitable for?
In general, people with the following characteristics are good candidates for buttock lifts:
- Those who want buttock enlargement with prostheses,
- Those with excessive buttock sagging,
- Those with enough fat in their bodies to be removed from their buttocks,
BBL surgery is not a traditional "buttock lift" procedure. The sagging skin on the buttocks and legs has not intervened. The most suitable method for them is buttock and thigh lift surgery.
What is the difference between BBL surgery and silicone prosthesis?
The most important advantage of Brazilian buttock surgery is the buttock enlargement procedure with natural-looking and visible results without prosthesis.
A silicone buttock implant is applied to patients who are very thin and have insufficient body fat. It may be a beneficial option for some patients; however, it has capsular contracture and a high risk of infection. Less natural-looking hips are formed compared to BBL surgery.
What is the success rate of Brazilian Butt Aesthetics?
Successful surgeries are performed in our country on this subject. According to the research, the rate of those who need a second surgery is around 1%. The results prove how high the success of Brazilian butt aesthetics are. The second operation is resorted to due to the filling material not holding or fat shifting.
Is fat-filling permanent?
Approximately 40–50% of the injected fat is permanent. The remaining fat will be absorbed.
How much fat can be injected in Brazilian Butt surgeries?
There are limits regarding the amount of fat to be injected in practice. During fat injection into the buttocks, the point where the fat starts to come back into the injection area indicates that a sufficient amount has been reached. The excess fat to be injected will create pressure on the fat in that area. These fats will also be absorbed by the body. Excess fat does not mean a bigger butt.
Are hip prostheses drilled?
The prostheses used in BBL surgery are specially designed. These prostheses are resistant to weight. It is generally resistant to rapid settling, sudden falls, and impacts, and does not get damaged. They are not easily punctured, and they can be used safely for a long time.
