What is a Buttock Augmentation?

Buttock augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the butt. This may involve a fat transfer procedure, also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, or the use of implants. Both implants and Brazilian Butt Lift can effectively enhance the backside, each with their own benefits that our doctors will go over with you.

Who can Benefit from a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The buttock augmentation can benefit anyone who wants to enhance their backside and address the following concerns:

•         A naturally small or flat butt
•         Volume loss in the buttocks due to age, weight loss, or pregnancy
•         Misshapen buttocks
•         A butt that is disproportionate to the rest of the body

Those who want to receive the slimming benefits of liposuction can benefit from the Brazilian Butt Lift, taking excess fat from another area of the body like the abdomen or thighs, and using it to add volume to the buttocks. This can also be added to a larger procedure like the mommy makeover to restore your pre-baby body. Those who want a more dramatic enhancement might choose the buttock augmentation with implants, using silicone implants to add fullness to the backside. Drs Horowitz and Nichter can help you choose the right technique for you during your consultation.

Preparing for Brazilian Butt Lift

You will receive a packet with instructions to prepare for your surgery. In the two weeks before your operation, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as ibuprofen, Motrin, Vitamin E, omega 3s, and flaxseed oil, which can increase the risk of bleeding.

A week before surgery, you will fill your prescriptions and complete any required lab testing, as well as arrange for a ride to and from the surgery center. Apply the scopolamine patch the day before surgery. The patch stays on for three days to aid in decreasing nausea from medications and anesthesia. Do not intake food or water after midnight if your procedure involves general anesthesia.

How is the Buttock Augmentation Performed?

Your buttock augmentation procedure will depend on the techniques used and may involve:

Brazilian Butt Lift

During the Brazilian Butt Lift, excess fat is taken from a donor site like the abdomen or thighs using liposuction techniques. The fat cells are then processed in a centrifuge to remove impurities. The purified fat cells are then placed in the buttocks using tiny incisions. A small number of fat cells will be placed in several areas of the buttocks to ensure even distribution and natural-looking results.

Butt Implants

If butt implants are used, incisions will be made in the natural creases of the buttocks. Through these incisions, a silicone implant can be placed, adding volume and definition. Implants can be customized in shape and size to help you achieve your desired result.

Recovery After Brazilian Butt Lift

Your recovery after buttock augmentation will depend on the techniques being used. After Brazilian Butt Lift, it is extremely important not to put any pressure on the buttocks. This means absolutely no sitting or lying on your back for several weeks. Putting pressure on the buttocks too soon could cause some fat cells to die, affecting your final results. If you have implants, this will also require no sitting for several weeks to keep the tension off of your incisions. Patients can typically resume normal activities after about one month, and more strenuous exercise can be resumed after two months. Dr. Nichter or Dr. Horowitz will provide you with detailed recovery instructions that should be followed closely for satisfying results.

Brazilian Butt Lift Results

Once swelling and bruising have diminished after your buttock augmentation, you’ll begin to see the results of your procedure. After a Brazilian Butt Lift, it is normal and expected for some fat cells to die and be eliminated by the body, but the fat cells that are remaining after several weeks are typically there to stay. Those who had implants placed notice an increase in volume right away and can enjoy their true results once the swelling has completely diminished. The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift are long-lasting, and the use of implants is typically permanent.

Brazilian Buttock Lift FAQs

How much does BBL surgery cost in Newport Beach?

The cost of BBL surgery varies considerably across the United States. The average price ranges from $2,275 to $10,850, according to RealSelf.com. The surgeon’s level of experience, choice of anesthesia, and extent of liposuction are all factors that can impact the final cost. Pacific Center Plastic Surgery offers several types of financing options.

Is BBL surgery safe?

Brazilian Butt Lift has a slightly higher risk than other elective cosmetic procedures. Thus, it is critical to trust a board-certified Newport Beach plastic surgeon such as our team of highly trained physicians at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery for your procedure.

Most individuals who are pre-screened for contraindications and follow all instructions can expect a safe recovery without adverse risks. At PCPS, we routinely follow up with each BBL surgery patient to ensure the fat graft is healing without complication. Our board-certified doctors are there for you every step of the way to monitor your progress and make sure you look and feel great after your procedure.

Is BBL surgery permanent?

Brazilian Butt Lift is considered a “semi-permanent” procedure. If you undergo a fat transfer BBL, your procedure will last as long as your fat cells stay the same size. They will still grow and shrink like normal, depending on your diet and exercise habits. If you choose to have implants, they will stay the same size, but will need to be replaced about every 15 years.
