What Is A Buttock Augmentation Operation
Buttock Augmentation, commonly known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), is a plastic surgery procedure approved by the FDA. It involves autologous fat injection, where fat is harvested from various parts of the body and injected into the buttocks to increase volume. This procedure not only enhances buttock size but also removes excess fat from unwanted areas, providing a more sculpted appearance.
Candidates For Buttocks Augmentation Operation
Suitable candidates for buttock augmentation typically include individuals who:
- Are in good overall health without any conditions that may contraindicate surgery.
- Experience asymmetrical buttocks, small buttock size, or sagging in the buttock area.
- Desire a more rounded and attractive buttock shape.
- Understand that significant weight loss following the procedure may affect results.
Pre- Buttock Augmentation Operation Tips
Before undergoing buttock augmentation surgery, patients should follow these pre-operative tips:
- Cease smoking at least six weeks before the surgery to promote optimal healing.
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and herbal supplements, as they can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.
- Adhere to all instructions provided by the surgeon.
- Arrange for a companion to accompany you home after the outpatient procedure.
- Select a board-certified plastic surgeon and a reputable clinic for the operation.
Techniques Used In Buttock Augmentation Operation
There are two primary techniques used in buttock augmentation:
Auto-Fat Technology to Enlarge the Buttocks: Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas of excess accumulation, purified, and then injected into the buttocks using microneedles. This technique is safe and minimizes the risk of complications.
Fillings Technology to Enlarge the Buttocks: Silicone fillers are surgically inserted into the buttocks through small incisions. This method is suitable for addressing small or flabby buttocks.
Stages of Buttock Augmentation Surgery by Self-Fat Injection
Preparation Stage: The surgeon assesses the buttocks area to determine the nature of the issue and plan the surgery.
Anesthesia Stage: The patient is fully anesthetized before the procedure begins.
Determination Stage: The surgeon identifies areas for liposuction and fat transfer.
Liposuction Stage: Excess fat is removed using Vaser technology to achieve a harmonious body shape.
Fat Injection Stage: Purified fat is injected into the buttocks to increase volume and enhance shape.
Resuscitation Stage: The surgery typically lasts one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Stages of Buttock Augmentation Surgery by Fillings
The stages are similar to self-fat injection, except for the insertion of silicone fillers through small incisions in the lower buttock area.
Post- Buttock Augmentation Operation Tips
Following buttock augmentation surgery, patients should adhere to post-operative instructions for optimal recovery:
- Avoid prolonged sitting or lying on the buttocks for at least a week.
- Wear a special corset for buttock surgery for three weeks post-operation.
- Refrain from strenuous activities or exercises for at least a month.
- Maintain stable body weight to preserve the results of the surgery.
- Engage in specific buttock exercises to ensure long-lasting results for up to ten years.
