GET A SHAPELY AND FULL BUTT WITH BUTT AUGMENTATION
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 with you and help you choose the best procedure for you. You can contact Dr. Shah today to schedule a consultation and learn more about butt augmentation and butt lift surgery.
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. Some of the injected fat may be absorbed by the body, 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 are suitable for people who have low body fat or want a more defined and dramatic result. Implants are permanent and do not change shape or size over time.
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 for bathroom and other necessities, sitting is fine. For all other activities, it is better to avoid sitting for about one week.
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 made 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 is very different 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.
BUTT AUGMENTATION RECOVERY AND COST
After butt augmentation surgery, you will need about a week to rest before going back to work. Our staff will guide you through the recovery process and provide you with 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.
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.
