According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, buttock augmentation is a trending surgical procedure. In fact, according to their statistics, more than 3,465 women and 274 men underwent this procedure on 2013 and every year this number increases. Likewise, although it is a very common procedure in people of all ages, most people who undergo a buttock augmentation are between 30 and 39 years.
There are different ways and procedures to perform a buttock augmentation according to the patient's needs (please follow the link to read on Buttock Lift/Augmentation). However, nowadays the most common procedure is the Brazilian buttock augmentation.
Brazilian buttock augmentation, also called but lift, is defined by experts as the surgical procedure that consists in transferring pocessed fat from other parts of the patient's body to the buttocks to increase their fullness, roundness and improve their projection.
In general terms, a good candidate for a Brazilian buttock augmentation is a patient with a good general health condition who dislikes the roundness or general shape of his/her buttock, thinks that his/her buttock is asymmetric or even he/she thinks that his/her buttock is too small for the rest of the body structures.
Likewise, people who feel that their clothes don't fit properly due to the size of their buttocks can recover their self-confidence by undergoing a Brazilian buttock augmentation.
The male Brazilian buttock augmentation is the procedure destined to improve the volume and shape of the male buttock. In some cases, a man can get the buttock that he desires with exercise, but in other cases no matter how many exercises he does, the buttock remains small in relation with the rest of the body and he needs to undergo this procedure to obtain the aspect that he desires.
This procedure is also recommended for those men who need to recover their self-confidence and want to look better when using pants, jeans or swimming trunks. Due to the popularity of this procedure, the specialists have designed male buttock implants to be used in those cases that fat transfer is not enough to achieve the desired results.
Among the main benefits of Brazilian Buttock augmentation is the fact that during the procedure the plastic surgeon uses the patient's fat tissue (obtained from donor sites) to increase the buttocks volume and not implants, so the final aspect of the new buttocks is more natural.
Likewise, the Brazilian buttock augmentation has the advantage that the plastic surgeon can obtain (according to the patient) the fat tissue from the abdomen, so he/she can improve the appearance and harmony between the waist and the hip-buttocks of the patient.
Finally, as the material used as filler is the patient's processed fat tissue, the patient will have no risk of experiencing an implant rejection, which is an uncommon but dangerous side effect of traditional buttock augmentation.
Before undergo a Brazilian buttock augmentation, the surgeon will discuss the technique with the patient and will choose the best way of treatment to achieve the best results. The plastic surgeon always considers the natural buttock shape and size, the parts of the body that can be used as fat tissue donors, the patient's skin quality and elasticity, the presence of saggy skin, among others.
The patient will be under general or local anesthesia during liposuction to obtain the fat tissue that will be used as graft (according to the extension of the area that will be treated) and under local anesthesia or sedation when the processed fat will be re-injected in the buttocks to avoid any pain or discomfort in any of the steps of the procedure.
It is performed as an outpatient surgery and usually takes between 90 minutes and 4 hours. However, its duration depends on the amount of fat tissue that will be removed and re-injected and only a qualified plastic surgeon can determine it.
The plastic surgeon can use different types of liposuction to later process and purify the removed fat tissue and fill special syringes that can inject the fat into the buttock muscle in different areas and depths to create a natural buttock contour.
It is important to know that, in some cases, part of the fat tissue that was injected is reabsorbed by the body, so the patient might need additional injections to achieve the desired size, shape, and contour of the buttocks.
After a Brazilian buttock augmentation, the patient might experience some bruising, swelling, and mild pain the first days. If the pain cannot be controlled with prescribed painkillers the patient must call the doctor.
During the recovery process of a Brazilian buttock augmentation, the patient must avoid sitting on his/her buttock as much as possible for the first two weeks to guarantee a proper vascularization of the injected fat tissue. Likewise, the patient must sleep on his/her abdomen to avoid the excess of pressure on the buttocks.
The recovery process after a Brazilian buttock augmentation is shorter than traditional buttock augmentation (2 weeks after the procedure).
The cost of a Brazilian buttock augmentation will vary according to the number of parts of the body that will be used as fat donors, the amount of fat that will be reinjected, the technique used to perform the liposuction or fat extraction, the use of certain implants, the need for additional procedures, the patient's general health condition and desires, among others.
