In not so recent years, the thought of wanting a bigger butt was unthinkable! Now with the popularity of “real women” who are not “model thin” but are instead actual, normal sized women with actual curves, the idea of getting a buttocks implant is gaining in popularity. If you are considering getting buttocks implants, there are a few things you may want to know about the options available.
The buttocks are an area of the body where exercise will not necessarily enlarge or shape it into a more pleasing appearance. The shape of the gluteal muscles are largely determined by heritage and while some people in certain ethnic groups tend to have pleasing “bubble shaped” buttocks, those with other heritage do not and may be unhappy with a flat rear.
In addition, the buttocks tend to fall with age resulting in a flabby, saggy appearance. This can mean that some pants such as tight fitting jeans do not look as good and some women may be embarrassed to appear in bathing suits or other revealing garments because of the appearance.
Getting buttock implants may improve the appearance with a more youthful rear end and some cultures think a well shaped buttocks region is the mark of fertility, considering those with larger buttocks to be more attractive.
If you have been unhappy with the appearance or lack of an attractive buttocks region, a buttocks augmentation procedure may be the answer for you but you have several choices to make regarding size, shape and type.
There are several techniques for performing buttock implant surgery including:
- Brazilian buttocks – a specifically designed procedure using fat transplants liposuctioned from another area of the body such as the thighs or abdomen and transplanting it with buttocks fat injections carefully inserted into the buttocks area.
- Buttocks Lifts – a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove extra skin which may have sagged due to weight loss or aging processes which will tighten and restore the buttocks to a more youthful appearance. This procedure may be combined with another lift procedure such as thigh lift or tummy tuck or may be done along with a butt implantation procedure.
- Buttocks Augmentation with Implants – specially designed silicone implants, similar in structure to breast implants may be placed into the buttocks area. This is occasionally the only choice for people who do not have enough fat to transplant into the buttocks area.
Whichever type of buttocks implants you decide to get, you must be sure to select a qualified plastic surgeon. To ensure that you are using the right doctor, you must do some research, be sure that he or she is qualified and experienced in buttocks implant surgery.
He should also conduct a thorough consultation where you will come to understand the specific nature of the procedure, the buttocks implant costs, the risks and the recovery time. He will also be able to show you a number of buttock implants before and after photos so that you will see for yourself, the results that can be achieved.
