Butt Augmentation Fat Injections

Butt augmentation using fat injections, also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, is a plastic surgery procedure that improves the contours of the body, producing a higher, firmer, and shapelier butt. An increasing number of men and woman are undergoing the butt augmentation procedure to get a more defined rear end through simple fat injections. Fat injections can help create a more proportional look in men and women who have underdeveloped bottoms. In this blog post, the surgeons of Crawford Plastic Surgery provide an overview of the butt augmentation procedure.

The Procedure

The butt augmentation procedure requires that fat be removed from a donor site - anywhere you have excess fat - and injected into the buttocks area. The fat can be removed from many areas of the body with liposuction surgery, but in most cases it is removed from the stomach, lower back, hips, or upper thighs - areas that commonly contain a sufficient amount of excess fat. The fat is processed and then injected into each buttock. Once the fat has been injected, the buttocks are shaped to achieve a rounded and toned appearance.

The butt augmentation with fat injections treatment process offers two major benefits to patients. As a result of the procedure, the butt appears fuller and rounder; in addition, the area in which fat was removed will look slimmer.

Candidates

Men and women who have a flat bottom may be self conscious about the appearance of the buttocks. Many of these patients desire larger and rounder buttocks that are proportional with the rest of the body. In addition to plumping up the buttocks, this technique can also improve the appearance of droopy skin by adding more volume.

Patients who have lost weight, aged, had a baby, or were simply dealt a poor genetic hand, a butt augmentation through fat injections is a great way to achieve the firm, sculpted butt they have always wanted.

The Pros

There are many advantages associated with the fat transfer butt augmentation procedure, including:

• Fat injections look and feel much more natural than implants
• The incisions are much smaller
• The recovery time is shorter
• The fat injection procedure does not just improve the look of the behind, but also other areas of the body where the excess fat was removed
• The fat injections are long lasting
• Patients experience an improvement in confidence that comes with having a proportional, shapely body

The Cons

In some cases, the body may reabsorb the fat injections, negating the effects of the butt augmentation. There is about a 30 percent chance of this happening. If the fat injections are absorbed, the patient can undergo an additional round of treatment to augment the buttocks.

Recovery

Recovery from the fat injection procedure takes about six weeks. Since patients undergo a liposuction procedure to remove the fat, the post-operative recovery instructions are similar to that of liposuction. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and wear compression garments for six weeks after surgery.
