Patients seeking to improve the way their buttocks look often get confused about whether to go for a butt lift or butt augmentation with implants. This blog discusses both procedures to shed light on the different purposes they serve and help the readers in understanding which option meets their needs best.
Explaining Butt Lift Surgery
A butt lift, also known as lower back lift or gluteal lift, is a cosmetic procedure which is used to reshape the buttocks to make them look smooth, round, and attractive. The purpose of a butt lift in Dubai is to improve the appearance of sagging buttocks by reducing their dimples and loose skin.
It is important to mention that the butt lift in question is different from the Brazilian butt lift surgery as the latter aims to increase the size of your buttocks through liposuction and fat transfer, whereas the former involves the lifting of lower back skin to tone the buttocks. In simple words, a butt lift is about reshaping the buttocks, however, the Brazilian butt lift is concerned with resizing them.
Procedure
During a butt lift surgery, the Plastic Surgeon draws an incision on the lower back, hip, or underneath the gluteal fold to carry out the procedure. The skin is then separated from the underlying tissue and pulled back to achieve a lifting effect. Excess skin is also trimmed and unwanted fat is removed with the help of liposuction. Finally, the incisions are closed with the help of sutures and dressings are applied over the wound sites.
Expected Benefits
• Shapelier and toned buttocks
• Improved appearance of wrinkles and dimples
• Reduction of loose skin and associated sagging
• Firmer posterior that looks appealing
• Slightly enhanced shape of buttocks due to lifting
Explaining Butt Implants Placement
Butt augmentation with implants, also called gluteal augmentation, involves surgically placing artificial implants deep inside the buttocks to enhance their size, shape, volume, and contours. Butt augmentation is a largely permanent solution for improving the way your buttocks look without gaining any weight. The prostheses or implants are made of silicone, which is a soft yet firm plastic gel, encased in shells.
The results of butt augmentation with implant placement are reversible as the surgery adds significant volume to the posterior by introducing devices that can be removed later. The implants can be placed in the upper-half, middle, or lower-half of the buttocks depending on the needs of the patients.
Procedure
Plastic Surgeons perform butt augmentation by making incisions that are either at the top or bottom of the buttocks or in between the butt cheeks. First off, pockets are crafted to make room for the implants. Later, the butt implants are placed either over or under the gluteal muscle to increase the size. Finally, the cuts are sutured together. The incisions are smaller than the ones involved in a butt lift surgery and thus give somewhat scar-less results.
Expected Benefits
• Fuller and bigger buttocks
• Tightened and wrinkle-free skin
• Rounder buttocks with increased projection
• Overall an attractive figure
• Natural-looking results
Which Treatment Should I Choose?
The best way to find your answer is to consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in such procedure. This is so because an expert can identify your unique anatomy and needs to suggest the most suitable option. Generally:
• Patients who lack enough fat deposits to donate healthy cells for fat transfer can find solution in butt augmentation with implant introduction
• Patients experiencing severe skin inelasticity may consider a butt lift or combining butt lift with augmentation to achieve the desired results
• Patients with flat or small butts but without any loose skin make good candidate for butt augmentation with implant placement
• Patients with sufficient fat distribution but excess skin on the buttocks can easily obtain perkier buttocks with the help of butt lift alone
