How Does Butt Augmentation Work?

The butt is often considered one of the most attractive and sensual parts of the body. If you feel that yours is too small or you’ve experienced changes due to either the natural aging process or weight loss, you might feel self-conscious about how you look. What’s more, clothes may not fit as well as they used to. At Christopher Tiner MD in Pasadena, CA, we can perform a butt augmentation to help you achieve the size and look you desire.

There are several ways of performing gluteoplasty, and they include the Brazilian butt lift, which is a fat transfer method, and implants. Depending on the type of change you’d like to see and the extent of your correction, Dr. Tiner will choose the procedure that is right for you. Let’s have a closer look at how this type of surgery works and whether it could be the ideal solution for you.

What To Expect from Butt Augmentation

In the past decade, gluteoplasty has become more and more popular, as people are realizing that they don’t have to live with a small or sagging buttock. Instead, they can get the treatment they need to restore their butt or achieve the size they have always dreamed of. When you first get in touch, you and Dr. Tiner will decide whether you should opt for a Brazilian butt lift or implants.

Then, he will give you some information about what to avoid before treatment and what you should do in the weeks after your appointment. For example, you might have to stop smoking and taking blood-thinning medications. What’s more, you should rest for several weeks, and you’ll need to avoid lying on your back and sitting down. Once you’ve recovered, your results will likely last for the rest of your life.

Fat Transfer

The first method involves transferring fat from other parts of your body to the buttock area in order to augment it. We will use our liposuction tools to remove some fat tissue from your abdomen, back, thighs, or hips, then process it to make it safe for insertion. Using syringes, Dr. Tiner will then inject your fat in strategic places on your buttocks, so the desired effect can be achieved.

Although most people will only need one surgery to get the full results, you could request a second or even third session if you decide your buttock needs more augmentation. One of the main benefits of this treatment is that it doesn’t only enhance your butt, but it also reduces fat in other areas. Thus, your overall shape will change, and you’ll look better than ever.

Implants

Patients who would like a dramatic change might be better served with implants, which can be tailored to the shape and size you’re hoping for. Those who come to the clinic because their buttocks are deflated, poorly shaped, or too small will often benefit from this method. Similarly, slender people can’t have a fat transfer, so implants will be the only option for them.

Dr. Tiner will create an incision in your natural buttock crease and then insert a soft silicone pad. After the suture has been closed, you will need to wear a compression garment for the next few weeks to make sure the desired shape will be created. Most people with implants will only have one surgery because the pads are designed to be long-lasting.

Your Results

Fortunately, butt augmentation is considered a permanent procedure, which means that you won’t have to return to the clinic to have it done again. Once your fat has been transferred or your implant has been inserted, you can expect the effects to last for the rest of your life. However, the fat that has been inserted during a Brazilian butt lift will age along with the rest of your body, so there might be changes to your butt shape over time.

For this reason, it’s important to adopt a healthy lifestyle and avoid activities such as smoking or excessive sun exposure, which could cause premature aging. Similarly, you should aim to keep your weight steady after your augmentation because a large increase or decrease in fat tissue might affect the way your butt looks.

Who Should Get this Treatment?

Dr. Tiner will invite you to an initial consultation after you get in touch with us. That way, he can find out more about why you believe gluteoplasty is necessary and whether you are a good candidate. Because this is a surgical procedure, we will need to check that you are in good health before proceeding. Certain conditions, especially ones related to your circulatory system, could preclude you from taking part.

If you’re in good general health, it’s likely that you will be eligible for surgery. You should opt for gluteoplasty if you are struggling with self-confidence issues because of the way your buttocks look. For example, they might be too small, too square, or sagging due to aging or weight loss.

Your Buttocks Are too Small

Usually, your butt will be proportionate to the rest of your body. However, some people have very small buttocks that don’t fit in with the rest of their body. In such a case, having an augmentation could make the body look more balanced and enhance the overall shape.

Similarly, some people place a lot of value on having large buttocks, and they would like them to stand out more. For such patients, implants could be the best option because your doctor can create the coveted round “bubble butt” shape with their help.

You Have Experienced Changes

Over time, we all experience changes to the way we look and feel. Unfortunately, the butt is no exception, and it might start to drop, sag, or lose some of its plumpness over time. This is normal, but it can be very distressing for people who previously had a perfectly rounded butt. Either the Brazilian butt lift or an implant could work well for these patients, depending on the desired result and the shape of their other body parts.

If you’ve recently lost a lot of weight, you might experience similar symptoms as well as stubborn pockets of fat on your back, abdomen, or thighs. Fat transfer is the perfect option if you’d like to reshape your buttocks, remove excess skin folds, and get rid of unwanted fat at the same time. Dr. Tiner will most likely suggest this method for anyone who is done losing weight and very close to achieving their target.
