Buttock Aesthetics

Buttock Aesthetics

For many years, plastic surgeons have largely overlooked buttock aesthetics, often considered the counterpart to breast aesthetics. However, patients have frequently expressed concerns about their buttocks being too small, lacking roundness, sagging, or showing cellulite. Recently, advances in plastic surgery have made it possible to effectively address these issues.

What are buttock aesthetic procedures?

In patients who have noticeable fat deposits around areas such as the buttocks, waist, love handles, and sacrum, liposuction on these zones can often be enough to enhance the natural shape and prominence of the buttocks. Essentially, by sculpting the waist and buttock region through liposuction, the buttocks become more prominent. Still, some patients may require additional treatments like muscle implants or fat grafting under the skin to achieve the desired results.

Is it possible to completely eliminate cellulite?

While plastic surgery has made great strides in cellulite treatment, current methods cannot fully eradicate it. Therefore, maintaining a healthy diet and consistent exercise routine remains important for managing cellulite.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

During this surgery, your doctor performs a comprehensive 360-degree evaluation to locate areas with excess fat, which are then treated with liposuction. The extracted fat is carefully re-injected into the buttocks, resulting in a slimmer waist and a more contoured, lifted buttock shape.

Are there risks associated with a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Some of the most serious risks include thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you have any tendency toward blood clotting. Another significant complication is fat embolism, which occurs when injected fat enters the bloodstream and harms vital organs. Additionally, patients may experience contour irregularities or delayed wound healing after the procedure.
