Buttocks augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that increases the buttocks while remolding the torso. The procedure is divided into two steps. First, the surgeon performs a traditional liposuction to remove fat located in areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips or thighs. The extracted fat is subjected to an optimization process by which the fat is purified. Second, the surgeon redistributes the fat directly to the buttocks by injections.

 

Buttock augmentation is ideal for those who do not feel comfortable with their shape and wish to obtain the figure they’ve always dreamed of having. The ideal patient is someone who has fat in unwanted areas and wishes to redistribute it in a better way. Patients who wish to undergo a fat transfer procedure must be in a state of overall good health.

 

Fat transfer provides excellent results. The curves resulting from a fat transfer look and feel natural due to the fact that the body is molded using the patient’s own fat. This is a procedure designed to sculpt the perfect body by increasing the volume of the buttocks as well as removing unwanted fat.

 

The fat transfer procedure begins with performing liposuction under general anesthesia. The doctor will make incisions in the designated areas in order to introduce the cannula; the instrument responsible for the suction of the fat. Once this is done, the fat will pass through the optimization process until it is deemed ready to be redistributed to the buttocks. For this, the surgeon will make incisions to insert the optimized fat, a process that is also aided by the cannula. The surgeon will, at the same time, go on with the molding of the buttocks in order to achieve the desired result. Only small incisions that don’t leave scars will be made.

 

Buttock augmentation does not require hospitalization (it is an outpatient procedure) so the patient will be able to go home once they have recovered from the anesthesia. It is very important to follow all medical recommendations for BBL at all times in order to ensure a quick and successful recovery. It is recommended to have the place of recovery prepared in advanced to be able to find everything easily once the required rest period has begun.

Smoking is not recommended (for one month before and after surgery), as doing so brings risks during recovery. Anticoagulant drugs are also advised to avoid because they heightens the risk of bleeding. 

The patient should not sit at all in the first 15 days after the surgery and must sleep lying flat on his or her stomach during these first days. Then, between days 15 and 30 of recovery, he or she should use a special cushion to sit. Another important factor in the recovery process is the use of compression garment, which should be at all times for the first month, 12 hours a day during the second month and 4 hours a day for the third month.
