Butt Augmentation with Implants

Butt augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the fullness, roundness, and overall aesthetic of the buttocks. Whether you’re looking to add volume, shape, or better proportions, there are a few options available to achieve your desired look.

Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Butt Implants

One popular method of butt augmentation is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which involves liposuction to remove fat from one area of the body, followed by transferring that fat into the buttocks for enhanced volume and contour. However, if you don’t have enough excess fat to harvest, butt implants are a fantastic alternative.

Butt augmentation with implants involves placing silicone implants into the buttocks to create a fuller, more youthful appearance. Implants are a great option for individuals who desire a permanent, natural-looking enhancement without the need for fat harvesting.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Babak Moein will evaluate your body type and aesthetic goals to help determine the best approach for your procedure. You’ll discuss:

• Implant size and type that best suits your desired outcome
• Your medical history and any current medications
• Realistic expectations for recovery and results

It’s helpful to bring in photographs of desired outcomes so that Dr. Moein can understand exactly what you envision for your results. The consultation is your chance to ask questions, learn about surgical options, and establish a personalized surgical plan tailored to your goals.

Butt Lifts, Brazilian Butt Lifts, and Sculptra Butt Lifts: What’s the Difference?

When it comes to butt augmentation, there are a few different techniques available, each tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of the patient. Butt Lifts, Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL), and Sculptra Butt Lifts all provide varying methods for enhancing the shape and volume of the buttocks. Let’s break down the differences between them and what you can expect during and after surgery.

Traditional Butt Lift

A traditional butt lift focuses on removing excess skin and lifting the buttocks for a firmer, smoother look. This procedure is most commonly performed for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, resulting in sagging skin or a loss of volume. In some cases, liposuction may also be performed to contour the area before lifting the buttocks. Unlike other procedures, a traditional butt lift does not involve implants or fat injections.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular options for those looking to achieve a fuller, more natural-looking butt. This technique involves liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then purified and carefully reinjected into the buttocks to create volume, shape, and contour. It’s a natural, minimally invasive approach that allows for body contouring in addition to butt augmentation.

Sculptra Butt Lift

A Sculptra Butt Lift uses injectable dermal filler, specifically Sculptra, to add volume and enhance the shape of the buttocks over time. Unlike a BBL, which requires liposuction and fat transfer, Sculptra injections stimulate collagen production in the targeted areas. This non-surgical treatment gradually improves volume and firmness without the need for incisions or recovery time associated with surgery.

Butt Augmentation Surgery Process: What to Expect

No matter which type of butt augmentation you choose, the process will be customized to fit your body and goals. Here’s an overview of what you can expect during butt augmentation surgery:

1. Anesthesia: Before the procedure begins, the patient will receive medication to ensure comfort. Depending on the procedure and patient preferences, either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia can be used.
2. Incision Placement: For procedures like butt implants, a small incision is made in a discreet area of the buttocks. Common incision locations include:
   • At the top of the buttock
   • On the underside where the cheeks meet the thighs
   • Between the crease of the buttocks

These locations are chosen for their ability to hide surgical scars once they have healed.

3. Implant Placement or Fat Transfer: For butt implants, the silicone implants are carefully placed in a pocket beneath the muscle to ensure a natural, firm result. In the case of a Brazilian Butt Lift, fat from another part of the body is purified and re-injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, more contoured look.
4. Closing the Incisions: After the implants or fat are placed, the incisions are closed with sutures, and the recovery process begins.

What to Expect After Butt Augmentation Surgery

Recovery varies based on the procedure, but here’s a general timeline of what you can expect:

• Immediate Post-Op (First Few Days): You’ll experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Wearing compression garments is usually required to support the new shape and help reduce swelling.
• 1-2 Weeks: Most patients can return to light activities after about 1-2 weeks, but it’s important to avoid putting pressure on the buttocks (e.g., sitting directly on them) during this time.
• 6 Weeks: For a Brazilian Butt Lift, you will need to avoid sitting on your buttocks for about 6 weeks to ensure optimal fat survival. With implants or a traditional butt lift, sitting may be more comfortable sooner, but it’s still important to follow your surgeon’s specific recovery instructions.
• Final Results: Full results may take several months to be visible, especially for a Brazilian Butt Lift, as fat settles and the body heals. For Sculptra Butt Lifts, results gradually improve over the course of several treatment sessions.

Whether you’re opting for implants, a Brazilian Butt Lift, or a Sculptra Butt Lift, each procedure is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. To ensure the best possible results and a smooth recovery, be sure to follow all of Dr. Moein’s post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up appointments as needed.

Options for Placement of Butt Implants

Butt implants, which are specially designed silicone implants, offer a durable and natural-looking solution for individuals seeking to enhance the size and shape of their buttocks. Depending on your body type, the size of the implant, and the desired results, there are a few options for placing the implants. The implants can be inserted either above or below the gluteal muscle, and the choice of placement will be determined by factors such as the implant size and the patient’s goals.

Placement Options:

1. Submuscular Placement (Under the Gluteal Muscle): This involves placing the implant under the gluteal muscle, which can provide a more natural look and feel. The muscle provides additional support for the implant, helping it blend more seamlessly with your natural body contours.
2. Subfascial Placement (On Top of the Muscle): In this technique, the implant is placed above the muscle, under the fascia (the connective tissue). This method can result in a more prominent and rounded appearance, especially for patients who have good muscle tone and enough tissue coverage.

Procedure Overview:

• Incision Placement: The incision location is carefully chosen to minimize visible scarring. Common locations include:
  • The crease of the buttocks, where the gluteal folds naturally occur
  • The top of the buttocks, for more discreet scars
• Implant Insertion: The chosen incision site allows the surgeon to create a pocket for the implant. Whether under or above the muscle, the implant is placed carefully to ensure symmetry and balance with the rest of the body. After insertion, the incision is closed with layered sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape, ensuring proper healing.

Recovery and Results:

• Immediate Results: The enhancement is immediately visible post-surgery, but the final result will gradually become more refined as the body heals and any surgical swelling subsides.
• Support Garments: You will need to wear a support garment for 2-3 weeks after surgery. This garment helps with swelling, keeps the implants in place, and ensures proper healing of the surgical area.
• Post-Op Care: Dr. Moein will provide you with detailed instructions on what activities to avoid during the recovery period. This typically includes limiting sitting directly on the buttocks for several weeks and avoiding strenuous physical activity.
