Over time, changes in your weight, pregnancy, age, and genetics can alter the shape, size, and appearance of your buttocks. Butt lift procedures, like those performed at the Glendale Luxbae medical spa, are designed to restore or enhance this appearance so you can look your best. Depending on your needs, the treatments may involve implants, injections, or even surgery. Some of these procedures are designed to smooth your skin, others to lift sagging buttocks, and others to add volume. If you are considering making a change to your butt, here are five procedures you should know about.
Butt Injections
Butt injections are growing more popular by the day due to their convenient, non-surgical approach to butt enhancement. These augmenting treatments target the volume of your butt to make it larger. Usually, your provider injects material into your buttocks to make them plumper. Depending on the treatment, this could be a filler, loose silicone, or fat from another part of your body. Butt injections are minimally invasive, making them an excellent alternative to surgery and other butt procedures. But because of the concerns surrounding materials like silicone, it is important to have them done by a certified provider who follows strict safety standards. It is also important to note that butt injections, especially those involving dermal fillers, wear off after 6 to 12 months.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The BBL is the most popular butt augmentation procedure. It uses fat obtained from another part of your body – usually the thighs, lower abdomen, or hips – to change the shape and size of your buttocks. Essentially, your provider performs liposuction to extract the fat and inject it into your buttocks. Consequently, you need sufficient excess fat in your body to qualify for this procedure. BBL does not treat sagging skin, so you also need skin elasticity. Sometimes, your surgeon will combine your BBL with silicone butt implants for more natural-looking results.
Butt Augmentation (Implants)
Speaking of which, butt implants are another way to add volume to your buttocks or improve their shape. This treatment adds to the roundness and projection of your butt to make it appear larger. It uses silicone implants, which are inserted through surgery below your tissue. Unlike butt injections, which use loose silicone, butt augmentation involves the surgical placement of solid silicone implants. Your provider will usually make incisions between your butt cheeks, and you will need about 4 weeks of recovery. This treatment is a great option for patients without a lot of body fat.
Butt Lift Surgery
A butt lift surgery does not add volume to your buttocks. Instead, it removes sagging skin and excess tissue and tightens your buttocks to improve their appearance. The surgery also smooths out wrinkled or dimpled skin. During the treatment, your surgeon makes an incision on top or below your buttocks and removes excess tissue before closing the incisions. This is the most invasive butt procedure.
Sculptra Butt Lift
The last procedure, the Sculptra butt lift, is an injection treatment. It involves the introduction of the Sculptra filler into the soft tissue of your butt and requires little to no recovery time. Typically, the initial injection adds some volume and stimulates collagen production over the following weeks to increase the volume further.
