The most common buttock-modifying injection is the Brazilian butt lift. This kind of surgical procedure combines liposuction around the buttocks and injections of fat into the butt. Basically, fat is harvested through liposuction from selected parts of the body.
The gathered fat is then processed and purified, then re-injected to the buttocks. Depending on the amount of augmentation the patient needs, a significant number of injections may be needed.
The usual sources of the fat are the area around the buttocks, the back (right above the buttocks), the thighs and the abdomen.
This procedure requires a significant amount of fat from the patient’s body. Some small, thin women, however, do not have adequate amounts of donor fat on their bodies to be used in the Brazilian butt lift surgery. If this is the case, the other butt augmentation option would be butt implants.
Many doctors recommend butt implants only if the patient is very tiny and have no body fat stored in the abdomen or flank area. Butt augmentation through fat injection is more advisable because the fat being used is the patient’s own natural substance. This fact lessens the risks of infection and allergic reactions compared to having implants.
An additional benefit of the fat injection procedure is having a much leaner abdomen because of the liposuction. Thus, you will have a more gorgeous figure.
Butt implants involve the surgical insertion of artificial implants into the buttocks so that their size and shape are enhanced. If you are considering implants instead of the Brazilian butt lift, you should choose a surgeon you can trust so that you can have a safe and effective procedure. Ideally, the doctor should have enough experience and has completed a residency program that includes instruction in buttock implants.
While there are potential risks with butt implants, as with any surgery, there are many benefits one can get as well. If done successfully, butt implants can give a larger and shapelier bottom. Implants can also provide a more proportionate figure.
