April 17th, 2018 | Posted in: Brazilian Butt Lift |

There is no denying that butts have taken center stage in recent years. The desire for full derrières is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after body features. Many women who are not graced with their ideal backside are turning to plastic surgery to attain it. Whether you were born with naturally flat buttocks or aging has already begun to play its devious role in altering the fullness you once had, butt augmentation is an excellent option in gaining the full, curvy backside you desire.

Once you have decided that butt augmentation is for you, the next decision is to determine which technique is best suited for your desired outcome. Buttocks augmentation can be performed two different ways: Brazilian Butt Lift or butt implants. While both of these procedures will increase the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks, they tackle these issues in very different ways.

Brazilian Butt Lift

The Brazilian Butt Lift is already a household phrase. Even if you do not necessarily know the details of this procedure, it is fair to assume that you have at least heard of it and its ability to enhance the fullness of the buttocks. Brazilian Butt Lift surgery augments the buttocks through a two-step process. The first step makes use of liposuction in the abdomen, thighs, or back. The second step purifies this harvested fat and injects it into the buttocks to lift, shape, and enhance what is soon to be your favorite feature.

This procedure differs from other augmentation because of its use of the patient’s natural fat instead of foreign material, and while some of the fat cells may dissipate over the course of a few months, you will be left with a shapely, curvy, and confidence-building backside.

Butt Implants

Before the Brazilian Butt Lift gained international popularity, butt implants were the gold standard of butt augmentation and are still an excellent option to consider today. As you may expect, butt implants make use of solid, silicone implants inserted into the buttocks. Implants are placed through incisions made in the natural crease between the butt cheek and thigh to prevent visible scarring. Since there is no possibility of fat being absorbed, this technique offers a permanent solution. It’s also ideal for women who do not have enough excess fat on their body to borrow from.

What Is the Verdict?

When all is said and done, it comes down to personal preference; both will visibly enhance your buttocks to give you sensuous curves. The Brazilian Butt Lift often results in more subtle, natural-looking curves, while butt implants tend to create a more dramatic transformation.

When deciding the best route, it is important to take into consideration the rest of your body frame. Do you have excess fat in other areas of your body? Can that fat be put to good use? What extent of enhancement do you desire? Only you know what you are looking for in your transformation. However, the good news is whichever technique you decide to go with, you will not be disappointed in your results.
