Buttock Augmentation, Butt Lift and Butt Implant Surgery
Buttock Enhancement or Butt augmentation is a surgical procedure to improves the contour, size and shape of the buttocks. It can be achieved through either the use of implants or through transferring your existing fat, or sometimes a combination of both.
- Butt size and shape
- The amount of fat you have on your body that is available for use through liposuction
- Your goals and activity level
- Skin quality and elasticity as well as the amount of extra skin
What are Butt Implants?
Butt implants are artificial devices surgically placed in the buttocks to create volume in the area.
Also called buttock augmentation, this procedure has grown increasingly popular in recent years. One estimate reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons notes that buttock augmentation surgery has increased by 252 percent between the years 2000 and 2015.
The most popular types of buttock-related surgeries include butt lifts, implants, and augmentation with fat grafting.
Despite their popularity, butt implant surgeries aren’t without risk. Discuss the possible benefits and side effects, as well as any expected costs and recovery time, with a board-certified surgeon.
Silicone Implants
Silicone is the material used for butt implants. Unlike injections, solid silicone implants are surgically placed into the buttocks via an incision in between the butt cheeks.
This procedure is sometimes combined with fat grafting for maximum results. It takes up to four weeks to recover from buttock surgery.
Implants typically add volume. This is something that injections and fat grafting can’t do alone. Overall, silicone implants have been documented as safe and effective.
Implants are preferable for people with little fat as they may not have much to inject for a Brazilian butt lift.
Butt implants have one primary goal: to enhance the shape of the buttocks. Still, there are a few different approaches to achieve this goal. The two main types of procedures are fat grafting and buttock implants.
Are Butt Implants Safe?
Overall, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has documented a 95.6 percent satisfaction rate concerning this type of surgery based on ratings. Despite the high success rate, butt implant surgery still poses risks. Some of the most common side effects include:
- excessive bleeding after surgery
- pain
- scarring
- skin discoloration
- infection
- fluid or blood accumulation underneath the buttocks
- allergic reactions
- skin loss
- nausea and vomiting from anesthesia
It’s also possible for the silicone implants to move or slip out of place. This can leave you with an uneven appearance in the buttocks and requires surgery to fix it.
Do Buttock Implants Work?
Buttock implants and augmentation are considered permanent and the surgery has an overall high success rate.
However, it takes three to six months until you see full effects, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
You may also need follow-up surgery several years later to maintain your results. This is especially the case if the implants shift or break.
Who is a good candidate for a buttock implant?
Buttock implants are on the rise, but this doesn’t mean they’re right for everyone. You may be a good candidate for butt implants if you:
- recently lost weight and have also lost some of the natural shape of your buttocks
- feel that your natural shape is too flat or squarish
- think that your buttocks could use more curves to balance out the rest of your body shape
- want to fight natural signs of aging, such as sagginess and flatness
- don’t smoke tobacco
- lead a healthy lifestyle
Butt Implants Cost
Butt implants are considered an aesthetic, or cosmetic, procedure. These types of procedures aren’t deemed medically necessary and aren’t covered by insurance.
However, many providers offer payment plans for their clients. You may also be able to finance the procedure directly with your provider or through a low-interest loan.
It’s also important to know all the costs up front. Aside from the actual surgeon’s fee, you’ll also need to pay for any anesthesia and room fees separately.
Surgeon fees can also vary based on where you live. You may want to consider comparing the costs with multiple board-certified providers in advance. You can also use this calculator to estimate costs in your area.
Fat Grafting / Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Butt augmentation with fat grafting was the most popular cosmetic surgery for the buttocks in 2015. It’s also nicknamed the “Brazilian butt lift.”
During this procedure, your surgeon suctions another area of your body to obtain fat — usually the abdomen, flanks, or thighs — and injects it into the buttocks to add volume. This method is sometimes combined with silicone implants to achieve the most natural look possible.
Other Butt Enhancement Treatments
1. Sculptra Butt Lift
It is a non surgical procedure for Butt Lift. In this procedure a filler called Sculptra is injected into the soft tissue of the buttocks.
Sculptra, or poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA), is a dermal filler used for skin and soft tissue augmentation. PLLA stimulates the body’s own collagen production. It can be used for volume restoration and skin rejuvenation.
It requires a few sessions to see a significant difference as well as multiple vials of the medication per session, which can be expensive.
2. Hydrogel and Silicone Buttock Injections
You may have heard about hydrogel buttock shots as a cheaper method of augmentation. This method gives temporary results and doesn’t require a traditional surgical procedure. It’s also dangerous.
Like hydrogel injections, silicone injections don’t involve surgery and they also don’t directly change the shape of your buttocks.
In fact, silicone injections for the buttocks can be quite dangerous.
3. Liposuction
The process removes excess fat in certain areas of the buttocks to achieve maximum contouring. You may qualify for liposuction with butt implants if you have excess fat in the area from weight loss or aging.
