What Is Buttock Augmentation?
Buttock augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase volume and improve contour through fat transfer or implants. This procedure is ideal for individuals who want to add definition or correct asymmetry that cannot be achieved through exercise alone. Depending on your body type and goals, either a BBL or silicone implants may be recommended.
Types of Buttock Augmentation Procedures
- Fat Grafting
Fat grafting enhances the buttocks using fat harvested from other areas of the body through liposuction. The purified fat is then injected into specific regions of the buttocks to create a fuller shape while also improving overall body proportions.
- Butt Implants Surgery
For those without sufficient donor fat or who prefer more dramatic enhancement, silicone implants provide an alternative solution by adding volume through surgically placed prosthetics within the gluteal muscles.
Benefits of Buttock Augmentation
- Uses natural fat (BBL) or silicone implants to enhance volume
- Improves body proportions by adding shape and definition
- Produces long-term improvements when weight remains stable
- Requires smaller incisions for fat grafting and well-placed incisions for implants
- Provides a firmer, fuller appearance with a natural feel
Am I a Good Candidate for Buttock Augmentation?
Candidates should meet these criteria:
- In good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes
- Desire for increased volume or improved symmetry
- Have enough donor fat available for BBL OR prefer implant-based enhancement
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your goals and determine the best approach for procedures like BBLs and gluteal enhancements, ensuring results that align with your needs.
Butt Augmentation: What to Expect
Butt augmentation surgery can help you fit into jeans better and achieve a more balanced and attractive body. Dr. Shah will discuss your goals and options and help you choose the best procedure. You can contact Dr. Shah today to schedule a consultation and learn more about butt augmentation and butt lift surgery.
Butt Augmentation Techniques:
There are two ways to increase your butt size and shape with a butt augmentation procedure: fat grafting and implants. Both methods add volume and create a firmer and smoother butt. Dr. Shah performs the surgery in an accredited outpatient facility in Columbus, Ohio. The surgery takes about three to four hours.
Fat Grafting for Butt Augmentation
Fat grafting is a safe and natural way to augment your butt. Dr. Shah uses liposuction to remove fat from other areas of your body and injects it into your butt. This also improves your overall shape by reducing unwanted fat. The fat grafting is done through small incisions that leave minimal scars. The body may absorb some of the injected fat, so you may need a second procedure to achieve your desired fullness.
Implants for Butt Augmentation
Implants are another option for butt augmentation. Dr. Shah inserts silicone implants into your butt through incisions hidden in the crease. Implants suit people with low body fat or who want a more defined and dramatic result. Implants are permanent and do not change shape or size over time.
Butt Augmentation Recovery
After butt augmentation surgery, you will need about a week to rest before going back to work. Our plastic surgery team in Ohio will guide you through recovery and provide pain medication for the first few days. You will also need to wear a compression garment for six weeks to help your butt heal and reduce swelling. You will be able to sit down after the surgery, but it will take four to six weeks to feel normal again. Implants will take up to six months to settle and show the final result.
Butt augmentation surgery, like any surgery, has some risks and complications. These include infection, bleeding, implant malposition, size dissatisfaction, and scarring. These are rare and can be minimized by choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon like Dr. Shah.
Cost of Butt Augmentation
The cost of butt augmentation surgery depends on several factors, such as anesthesia, hospital, garments, medications, tests, surgeon’s fees, and techniques. Dr. Shah will give you an estimate of the cost during your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
WILL I BE ABLE TO SIT IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY BUTT AUGMENTATION?
Yes, you can carefully sit after your butt augmentation surgery. However, because it is important that the buttock implants stay in place after surgery, it is important to minimize the amount of time sitting. That is why sitting is okay for the bathroom and other necessities. For all other activities, avoiding sitting for about one week is better.
WILL I NEED TO WEAR A COMPRESSION GARMENT AFTER MY BUTT AUGMENTATION?
Yes, to help keep the implants in place, you will need to wear a compression garment for about a month.
CAN I BREAK MY BUTT IMPLANT?
No, the implant is composed of solid silicone, which cannot break.
IS A BUTT IMPLANT SAFE?
Yes, butt implants are completely safe and approved by the FDA. They are made of a solid silicone elastomer, which differs significantly from the silicone gel implants used for breast procedures. Because they are solid, they cannot break or leak.
CAN BUTTOCK IMPLANTS BURST OR LEAK?
A buttock implant is very different from a breast implant. Breast implants are made from silicone gel. This means that they are like jello on the inside. A buttock implant is called a “solid Elastomer” which means that it cannot leak or burst. Even if it cracks, it is like a gummy bear so it will be fine.
WILL IT BE UNCOMFORTABLE SITTING ON MY IMPLANT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?
It sounds crazy, but you do not sit on your buttock implants. In fact, if you take your hands and place them under you when you are sitting, and then stand up, you will find that your hands are under your thighs. That is why when we put implants in the buttocks, you will be very comfortable when you are sitting.
