Liposuction with silicon tubes are used to remove fat from different areas of the body, Fat is usually harvested from naturally fleshy areas such as the flanks, hips, abdomen, lower back, or from thighs. The harvested fat will then be injected through a syringe into the buttocks. This process will take place over several steps, and many layers may be used until the desired result is achieved. The incisions from a Brazilian butt lift are very small and thus scarring after the procedure is minimal.

This procedure is not recommended for patients who do not have adequate stores of fat.

Buttock Augmentation using Butt Implant

Butt Implant is advised who do not have enough body fat for fat transfer, a silicone implant is inserted in order to attain curvier buttocks.

Buttock implants are customized for each individual patient based on body characteristics. They are made of soft silicone, which provides a firm, smooth, and natural feel. They are placed away from important nerves, as well as away from the bony area on which you sit.

Incisions for Butt Implant can be placed in several locations: Towards the top on both sides of the upper buttock, Towards the bottom in both of the gluteal creases, the areas where your Buttock meets the top of the thighs or incision which is placed down the center of the sacrum.

Through the incision surgeon creates a pocket large enough to place the butt implants. Implants can be placed above or below the muscle. Once placed, the surgeon confirms that each butt is symmetrical and looks natural. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures placed carefully under the skin, and a compression garment is applied

After the procedure compression garments are placed to reduce the swelling.

Patients are advised not to sit on the buttocks or lying on their back for 3 to 4 weeks to maximize the results.

Swelling and bruising is common after the procedure and typically dissipates by the sixth week.

Patients are advised to avoid putting weight on the buttocks. When sitting or lying down, the weight must be on the thighs or abdomen until the buttocks are fully recovered.

Recovery from a butt augmentation procedure where implants were used generally has a 2-3-week recovery period.

The scarring will be mostly concealed as the incision is usually positioned in between the buttock cheeks.

The patient will be able to go back to a normal routine after 1-2 weeks, and exercises may be resumed after 6 weeks. Full recovery may take several months.
