Buttocks Augmentation (with FAT)
Buttock augmentation, Butt Lifts, and
Brazilian Butt Fills allow men and
women with flat or poorly
developed buttocks to enhance and shape
the area to their liking. While many
women will increase the size of their
breasts, they find there is an imbalance
between the front and the back and wish
to
contour their buttocks to fit their body
size and shape. Many patients who come
to us are frustrated
that no amount of diet and exercise will
shape their rears the way they desire.
Now, buttocks augmentation is helping
these men and women solve this once
impossible problem! Our patients say
their clothes fit better, they feel
sexier, and their confidence levels are
greatly improved with a fuller,
shaped derriere.
Buttocks Fat Transplantation
Fat grafting uses excess fat from other
areas of the body, which act as donor
sites. The donor sites
include the abdomen, hips, back or
thighs to add shape to the buttocks. The
fat cells are delicately
removed with a gentle liposuction
technique, and then inserted through
small incisions into different
layers of the buttocks. This method is
more natural than the alternative –
buttock implants. Patients
prefer the idea of using one’s own fat
to add volume and shape to their rears.
With fat transplantation, there is no
chance of the body rejecting the fat
cells. But the cells are sensitive and
require careful and meticulous handling
by an experienced buttocks augmentation
surgeon. The fat must be placed
strategically through tunnels in layers
for smooth and natural result.
The Buttocks Augmentation Procedure
The Buttocks Augmentation Procedure, The
butt enhancement procedure, usually
performed under general anesthesia,
takes about one and a half to two hours.
An additional benefit is that in
removing fat from donor sites, the
patient also benefits from modified
liposuction to those areas. An important
consideration for buttock fat
transplantation is the availability of
donor sites. While fat is usually
in abundance, some people may not have
extra fat available. In these patients
buttock augmentation
with fat transplantation is not an
option. The amount of fat transferred
depends upon your individual
aesthetic goals, and donor site
availability. Because we use small
incisions and evenly distribute the
fat cells, the final result will usually
appear smooth.
Recovery from Butt Augmentation
Discomfort is mild, and easily relieved
by painkillers. You are able to sit soon
after buttock
augmentation surgery. You will need to
wear a compression garment for 1-2 weeks
and may return to work in 3-5 days. You
can resume progressive exercise after 2
weeks. We encourage postoperative
massage and ultrasound treatments which
are provided in-house beginning 1 week
after surgery. For our out of town
patients these treatments can be
administered by a physical therapist.
Your results will be evident after 6-8
weeks.
Risks of Butt Augmentation Surgery
The main risk is that there is a 30%
chance of significant absorption of fat
within 6-8 weeks after
surgery. There is no way of predicting
this prior to surgery. Therefore one
must have adequate donor
fat available to allow for secondary
grafting. After a second grafting it
unlikely that further grafting will be
necessary. Aside from absorption,
occasionally a minor touch-up may be
necessary to correct minor
irregularities or asymmetry. |
