All you have to know about buttock augmentation with implants

What are the risk for a buttock augmentation with prostheses procedure?

Buttock augmentation with prostheses is a surgical procedure that carries certain risks and potential complications, as with any surgical procedure.

Some of the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure include:

• Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection at the incision site.
• Hematoma: Hematoma is a collection of blood outside of the blood vessels, it can happen after the surgery and can cause pain and swelling.
• Implant rupture or displacement: The implant may rupture or shift out of position, requiring revision surgery.
• Numbness: There is a risk of temporary or permanent numbness in the areas around the incision site.
• Asymmetry: The buttocks may not be symmetrical after the surgery.
• Unsatisfactory results: The patient may be unhappy with the results of the surgery.
• Scarring: There is a risk of unsightly scarring at the incision site.
• Blood clots: Blood clots can form in the legs and travel to the lungs, this is a serious condition that can be life-threatening.

It’s important to discuss the potential risks and complications with a board-certified plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure. A qualified and experienced surgeon, who follows the guidelines and protocols, can help minimize the risk of complications, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Buttock augmentation by prostheses or by fat injection?

Buttock augmentation can be achieved through two main methods: prostheses or fat injection (Brazilian Butt Lift).

Buttock augmentation with prostheses is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of silicone implants to add volume and shape to the buttocks. This procedure is typically chosen by people who have a flat or sagging buttocks, or those who want to achieve a more curvaceous and youthful appearance.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) also known as Fat injection to the buttocks, is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs, and injecting it into the buttocks. This procedure is typically chosen by people who have enough fat in other areas of their body that can be used for the transfer and want a more natural look.

Both of these procedures have their own advantages and disadvantages. It’s important to discuss with a certified plastic surgeon to determine which option is best for you based on your individual circumstances and goals.

Prostheses offer a more predictable result, and the volume can be controlled. However, it may feel less natural and the implant can be felt or seen. With BBL, the result is more natural looking, but the volume may be less predictable and the procedure carries the risk of fat necrosis (death of fat cells).

It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that the surgery is not a weight loss solution but rather a way of adding volume to the buttocks.

It’s also important to keep in mind that the results may vary from one individual to another and the surgeon’s experience and skills play a major role in the final outcome.

When to opt for prostheses for a buttock augmentation?

Buttock augmentation with prostheses is typically an option for individuals who are looking to enhance the shape, size, and overall appearance of their buttocks, but have not achieved the desired results through diet and exercise.

It may be a suitable option for people who have:

• Flat or sagging buttocks: People who have a flat or sagging buttocks may choose this procedure to add volume and shape to their buttocks.
• A desire for a more curvaceous and youthful appearance: People who want to achieve a more curvaceous and youthful appearance may choose this procedure.
• A lack of fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): People who do not have enough fat for a BBL may choose this procedure.
• An asymmetrical buttocks: People who have asymmetrical buttocks may choose this procedure to achieve a more symmetrical shape.

It’s important to note that not everyone is a suitable candidate for buttock augmentation with prostheses. The procedure is typically not recommended for individuals who are overweight, have a history of scarring, or have a bleeding disorder.

It’s also important to have realistic expectations and understand that the surgery is not a weight loss solution but rather a way of adding volume to the buttocks.

What results should I expect after butt enhancement?

The results of butt enhancement surgery will depend on the specific procedure you have chosen, as well as your individual anatomy and the skill of the surgeon.

After a buttock augmentation with prostheses, patients can expect to see a significant increase in the size and shape of their buttocks, which can provide a more curvaceous and youthful appearance. The results of the surgery are generally permanent, but it’s important to note that the implants may need to be replaced or removed over time due to complications or dissatisfaction.

After a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), patients can expect to see an increase in the size and shape of their buttocks, as well as a reduction in the size of the area from where the fat was taken. The results of the surgery can be more natural looking but the volume may be less predictable and the procedure carries the risk of fat necrosis (death of fat cells).

It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that the surgery is not a weight loss solution but rather a way of adding volume to the buttocks. Additionally, the final results may take several weeks to months to be fully visible as the swelling subsides.

It’s also important to keep in mind that the results may vary from one individual to another and the surgeon’s experience and skills play a major role in the final outcome.

It’s important to follow the surgeon’s instructions for postoperative care and recovery to ensure the best possible outcome and to have realistic expectations.
