Background: Buttock implants are the alternative option in gluteal augmentation to injectable fat grafting. (aka Brazilian Butt Lift) They are used when the patient has inadequate fat donor harvest sites due to a thin body frame. They are also used in rare cases where a BBL procedure has not produced adequate buttock augmentation and fat Read More…
Buttock augmentation has become the fastest growing cosmetic body procedure over the past five years. While the us of fat injections (aka Brazilian But Lift) accounts for the majority of these buttock augmentation procedures, buttock implants also has a role for thinner patients who have inadequate fat stores for harvest. Just like fat grafting the Read More…
Background: Aesthetic buttock deformities consist of two types of undesired structural changes. Inadequate volume is the far more recognized buttock problem which can occur from either inadequate natural development (or natural development that one sees an inadequate) or from volume loss due to aging or weight loss. The other is tissue sag over the infragluteal Read More…
Buttock augmentation can be done by two different methods. The most popular method today is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), more generically known as fat injection buttock augmentation. It is popular because many people have excessive fat and this is a method of fat redistribution that creates improved body contours. Conversely buttock implants is less Read More…
Background: Buttock augmentation is most commonly done by fat injections. But when not enough fat is available for transfer, buttock implants must be used. While buttock implants have an historic mixed reputation when done by surgeons experienced in doing them and with intramuscular placement, they have a good success rate with a low incidence of Read More…
Background: Buttock augmentation is the fastest growing body contouring procedure in the U.S. which is primarily done by fat injections. Known as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) it is a natural procedure that has a coincidential body contouring effect from the liposuction areas. (primarily abdomen and flanks) When adequate fat is available this is the Read More…
Buttock augmentation has become a procedure today that almost rivals that in public interest and in procedures performed like that of breast augmentation. By far the most common method of buttock augmentation uses the patient’s own fat as an injectable technique known as the Brazilian Butt Lift. (BBL) But not everyone is a candidate for Read More…
Buttock augmentation has gained tremendous popularity as a surgical procedure in just the past decade. This has largely been due to the use of fat injections for buttock augmentation, an approach that offers a diametric effect with enlargement of one body area (injection site) and reduction of many other body areas (liposuction harvest) during the Read More…
The use of implants is one effective method for buttock augmentation. It is far surpassed by fat injections (aka Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL) in number of buttock enhancements done, however, due to the appeal and usual availability of adequate fat to harvest to do the procedure. The exact numbers are not known but I would Read More…
Buttock implants today are becoming increasingly done using the intramuscular technique. While this implant is better long-term due to an increased well vascularized soft tissue cover, it is not complication free. It is still exposed to potential infection, hematoma and seromas like the subfascial implant location…although at a much lower rate. But the one complication Read More…
