What is Buttock Augmentation Surgery?
A buttock augmentation surgery is a procedure that reshapes and enhances the appearance of your buttocks, creating a fuller and more shapely profile. The most frequent ways of enlarging and reshaping your buttocks are fat grafting using Bodyjet Liposuction - this involves using your natural fatty tissue from around your waistline (also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift). Your plastic surgeon can also opt for using buttock implants, and occasionally the augmentation can be done with fillers (Sculptra).
When should you consider a Buttock Augmentation?
The procedure Buttock Augmentation is ideal for women who have buttocks that are too small for their frame and would like a more balanced look to enhance their silhouette. For some, the reason could be that they prefer a curvy look. Other factors to consider would be weight loss and ageing which can cause your buttocks to become loose and sagging with a flat appearance.
How is a Buttock Augmentation performed?
The two most popular methods of buttock augmentation are:
- Autologous fat transfer (using your natural fatty tissue - Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL)
- Gluteal implants, with or without fat transfer to assist with contouring that perfect silhouette
Autologous Fat Transfer
(Brazilian Butt Lift)
Our certified plastic surgeons will remove fatty tissue from areas of your body (such as the abdomen, hips, back, or thighs), using liposuction. After the fat is processed, it is injected back into the allocated areas, and your surgeon will ensure that a smooth, linear deposit of fatty tissue is left to reshape and augment the area.
It is important to note that some fatty tissue will not survive, and the final result might be smaller than what was initially projected. Depending on your expectations and the results, the surgery may have to be repeated.
The benefit of the surgery is not just an improved buttock area but contouring for your lower body, and an improved waistline addressing possible back rolls. Additional skin is not removed in a typical BBL and the “lift” effect is primarily an increase in the projection of the buttocks.
Buttock Implants
This is the most appropriate treatment for flat or poorly defined buttocks for patients who have limited fatty tissue. However, they are not as effective in treating sagging buttocks after significant weight loss. The buttock implants procedure is done using silicone implants, positioned in a pocket below the large buttock muscle (gluteal) and above the pelvic bone.
