Butt Lifting Aesthetics
Briefly, it is butt augmentation/lifting and shaping procedure.
They are surgeries in order to make attractive and round the sagging, flat and shapeless buttocks by performing augmentation and shaping procedures.
For this purpose, two reliable techniques are used. The first one is the butt augmentation/lifting procedure by using fat tissues obtained from the patient’s own cells by liposuction, and by shaping the buttocks with silicone prosthesis.
Advantages gained by butt aesthetics; younger, fit, energetic, sexy, round and shaped buttocks. The procedure is ideal especially in order to make thin the hips and waists for tight clothes and to provide contour, curve, volume and fold to the buttocks. Among the body folds, the most apparent and attractive waist region is buttock. This effect increases in the preference for summer clothing and tight jeans.
“10 questions and 10 answers about butt aesthetics”
1.Are silicone prostheses used in butt augmentation/lifting the same those used in the breast augmentation?
No. The preferred silicone implants for butt augmentation/lifting are more ellipsoid in order to the buttock shape more apparent.
2.Where are the prostheses placed? Are there scars after the surgery?
For butt aesthetics, the preferred placement of prostheses is the gluteus Maximus. This muscle is one of the strongest and thickest muscles in our body. In order to place a prosthesis in the surgery, the incision is in the place/area that both buttocks are joined. In 2-3 months after the surgery, the scars heal/recover and become indistinct. 2-3mm liposuction site also recovers/heals and becomes indistinct in the same time.
3.Could the butt shaping surgeries be combined with each other?
Ideal butt shaping surgeries provide projection and contour with prostheses to the buttocks, and are the contourplasty procedures in order to give shape to the surrounding tissues by liposuction. Waist cavity is made deep, excess fat clusters are extracted from hips and can be transferred to the prosthesis contours in order to give more aesthetic appearance. The dimples of Venus which has bilateral symmetry can occur in the waist area.
4.What is the duration of the operation? What are the most common challenges/difficulties during the recovery period?
Buttock aesthetic/surgery with buttock augmentation procedures should be performed in the general hospital under general anesthesia by a plastic surgeon. It is the most frequently difficulty that the patients do not lie on the buttocks for approximately 1 week after the surgery, which can take approximately 2.5 – 3 hours. The drains placed in the surgery are taken out the next day without being discharged. The most common problem in patients is sleeping position and stitches reopening. It is suggested that the early movement (before required period) causes this problem and the encounter probability is almost half. The patient can start to work, travel and do exercise after 2 weeks.
5.Can the butt augmentation/lifting procedures be performed only by fat tissues obtained from the patient?
The butt shaping/lifting procedures can be performed by transferring to the fat tissues obtained from the patient to the buttock area of the patient. It should be noted that the living rate of the transferred fat cells may vary between 50%-80%.
6.What is Brazilian butt? Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a procedure by transferring fat cells obtained from hips, abdomen, back area of the patient to the buttock area of the patient in order to tighten and lift the buttocks. The desired shape and contour can be provided by reshaping the aesthetic problems such as asymmetry, sagging, flatness with fat tissues. Patients should wear corset for 4-6 weeks and do not sit on the buttocks for 15 days.
7.Is it possible to return from butt aesthetic and augmentation procedures?
The fat which has been extracted by liposuction can be recovered after lipoplasty, Brazilian Butt lift procedures. The prostheses can be taken out in a short operation period.
8.If the patients gain weight after the surgery, does the buttock look bigger which is augmented by liposuction?
As long as the transferred fat cells are alive ( 50%-80%), the fat in the buttock may also grow, but this is effective/apparent when the patient gains a lot of weight. The weight gained is not only effective in the buttock area.
9.Are there any filling materials used for butt augmentation other than fat cells?
Unfortunately, there are many unsafe and unapproved filling materials on the market. The procedures which are performed by using these filling materials can cause vital risks such as emboli, do not provide permanent results and can cause wound infections, apse, and asymmetry.
10.Can fat cells extracted by vaser liposuction be used for butt augmentation/lifting aesthetics?
Many surgeons who have experience in this field have different opinions. We know that the working mechanism of Vaser liposuction is less traumatic and bleeding and more selective than other techniques. Although it is accepted that the selective and atraumatic approach of Vaser in the fat extraction has protector effect for living rate of fat cells, the results depend on the doctor/practitioner, and the preferred technique, and can vary from person to person.
