Buttocks Augmentation

Description

With the growing trend to have more balanced, full buttocks, butt augmentation procedures are one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures today. Butt augmentation, also known as butt implants, is the enhancement of the buttocks through either invasive or non-invasive options. Implants are inserted with a soft but strong implant called elastomer. Unlike with breast implants, elastomer doesn't leak. Also available, fat grafting procedures. Fat is taken from other parts of the body (abdomen, flanks, hips, lower back or thighs), purified and preserved, then injected into the buttocks. Although less permanent, fat grafting is growing in popularity. There are many doctor's who specialize in buttocks augmentation, so be selective.

Procedure Length

About one to three hours.

Side Effects

Discomfort, soreness, moderate pain, swelling, bruising, and temporary loss in sensitivity.

Recovery

Though you may sit down gently immediately following the procedure, it is wise to refrain from working for about two weeks. Normal activities can resume after three weeks. Medication may assist in reducing pain.

Risks

Bleeding, nerve damage and loss in sensitivity, asymmetrical results and reshaping buttocks.

Results

Depending on the procedure, the results may last many months to many years. If fat grafting is chosen, revisits may be necessary.
