Buttocks Shaping

About The Treatment

Buttocks shaping surgery or treatment encompasses a variety of procedures designed to enhance the contour, size, and appearance of the buttocks. These procedures can be surgical or non-surgical, depending on the desired outcome and the patient's preferences. Here are the most common methods for buttocks shaping:

Surgical Procedures

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):

• Procedure:

  • Fat is harvested from other areas of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) through liposuction.

  • The fat is purified and then injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape.

• Benefits:

  • Provides natural-looking results using the patient's own fat.

  • Can also contour donor areas for an overall improved body shape.

    
    

• Risks:

  • Infection, fat embolism, and asymmetry.

Buttock Implants:

• Procedure:

  • Silicone implants are surgically placed in the buttocks to increase size and improve shape.

• Benefits:

  • Suitable for individuals with insufficient fat for a BBL.

  • Provides a significant increase in volume.

    
    

• Risks:

  • Infection, implant displacement, capsular contracture.

Buttock Lift (Gluteoplasty):

• Procedure:

  • Excess skin and tissue are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened.

  • Often combined with liposuction or fat grafting.

    
    

• Benefits:

  • Improves the shape and firmness of the buttocks, especially after significant weight loss.

    
    

• Risks:

  • Scarring, infection, changes in skin sensation.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Dermafiller Injection:

• Procedure:

  • Hyaluronic Acid fillers are injected into the buttocks to enhance the volume and shape.

• Benefits:

  • Minimally invasive with no downtime.

    
    

• Risks:

  • Swelling, bruising, lumps, or nodules under the skin.

Radiofrequency (RF) and tightening Treatments:

• Procedure:

  • Devices that use radiofrequency or ultrasound energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production.

• Benefits:

  • Non-invasive with minimal discomfort.

  • Can improve skin texture and mild sagging.

    
    

• Risks:

  • Temporary redness or swelling.

Factors to Consider

Candidate Suitability:

• Patients should be in good overall health, with realistic expectations.

• Non-smokers are preferred due to better healing and reduced risk of complications.

Recovery and Aftercare:

• Surgical procedures typically require a few weeks of recovery, during which patients must avoid sitting directly on their buttocks and follow specific aftercare instructions.

• Non-surgical treatments usually involve minimal downtime and gradual improvement over multiple sessions.

Risks and Complications:

• Surgical area will be photographed and marked.
