What is Buttock Augmentation and Lift?
Buttock augmentation and lift encompasses a range of procedures aimed at improving the shape, size, and firmness of the buttocks. These transformative techniques address various concerns, including flatness, sagging, and asymmetry, to create a more sculpted and proportional appearance.
Fat Transfer to the Buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular procedure that uses your body’s own fat to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks. This technique provides natural-looking results by transferring fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks to the buttocks.
Procedure
- Liposuction: Fat is harvested from donor areas using liposuction.
- Purification: The fat is processed and purified to ensure the highest quality for reinjection.
- Injection: The fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired contour.
Safety Measures: Ultrasound-Guided Fat Injection
At our practice, patient safety is a top priority. We use ultrasound-guided fat injection to:
- Ensure precise placement of fat in safe planes.
- Minimise the risk of complications, such as fat embolism.
- Achieve consistent and natural-looking results.
Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift
- Natural results using your own tissue.
- Simultaneous body contouring through liposuction.
- Customised shaping to meet your aesthetic goals.
Buttock Lift with Auto-Augmentation
A buttock lift is ideal for patients with excess skin or sagging in the buttocks, often due to weight loss or ageing. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue to create a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Auto-Augmentation
For patients seeking added volume without implants, auto-augmentation uses the patient’s own tissue to enhance the buttocks. Excess skin and tissue removed during the lift are reshaped and repositioned to provide natural fullness and contour.
Benefits of a Buttock Lift with Auto-Augmentation
- Addresses sagging and improves firmness.
- Provides a natural enhancement without the need for implants.
- Achieves long-lasting results with improved proportions.
Buttock Implants
For patients who lack sufficient fat for transfer, buttock implants are an excellent alternative for enhancing volume and shape. Buttock implants are made of soft, durable silicone and are placed surgically to achieve a fuller, more contoured appearance.
Procedure
- Incision Placement: Small incisions are made in discreet areas to minimise visible scarring.
- Implant Insertion: The implants are carefully positioned to ensure symmetry and a natural look.
- Closure: The incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied to support healing.
Who is a Candidate for Buttock Implants?
Buttock implants are best suited for:
- Thinner patients with inadequate fat stores for a Brazilian Butt Lift.
- Individuals seeking a more pronounced enhancement.
Benefits of Buttock Implants
- Reliable volume and shape enhancement.
- Consistent results, regardless of body fat levels.
- Long-lasting and durable solution.
