• Fat injection (Liposuction) method: This method involves taking fat from the back, abdomen and hip areas of the body, and transferred to the buttocks via an injection to give a more shaped butt. This leaves the areas of where the fat was taken, slimmer. This method is also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), and is a popular choice for patients who desire a more voluminous butt.

• Implant fillers: Implants are selected according to the patient’s body shape at the examination performed by the physician. The implants are placed between the muscle and the tissue using the appropriate surgical technique. 

In cases where the amount of fat taken from the person is not enough, adipose and implants together can be used to achieve a more voluminous and round buttocks.

Butt Augmentation – BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)

Butt augmentation, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, is a plastic surgery procedure that improves the size, shape and form of the buttocks. A Butt lift is performed with two different techniques, liposuction and implant.

In the liposuction method, the patient’s own fat is removed and transferred to the buttocks to give a natural and voluminous appearance. Within the first six months of the procedure, some of the fat cells that have been transferred will be excreted from the body. The doctor who will perform the aesthetic procedure should determine and advise the fat rate to be transferred by taking into account the amount of fat to be removed from the body. Patients must take this factor of the dissolving fat rate into consideration when discussing the treatment with the physician. 

With an implant method, synthetic silicone implants are surgically implanted in the buttock area to give the buttocks a more defined volume. For patients who do not have enough fat in their body, a Brazilian Butt Lift with implants is a more popular choice. In cases where it is seen appropriate by the physician, the procedure can be performed with a combination of liposuction (fat grafting) to achieve better results in some patients.

Butt Lift

A Butt lift or buttock lift is a cosmetic surgery performed to improve the appearance of the buttocks. A Butt lift can also be performed as part of abdominal, groin and thigh contouring procedures. Lifting alone does not add volume to the buttocks.

In some cases, a butt lift may be combined with a buttock augmentation procedure to change the shape or size of the buttocks with implants or fat injection. During a buttock lift, the buttocks are lifted by making an incision and pulling the excess skin underneath upward. Excess fat and skin is then removed from the buttocks. The remaining skin is then shaped to emphasize the appearance.
