A rounded, firm and well-shaped posterior enhances a woman’s overall body contour and makes her look good in swimwear. Achieving this is possible with artificial butt implants or a Brazilian butt lift, the procedure that uses the woman’s own fat to enhance her buttocks. While many plastic surgeons in New York City offer both these options, the fat grafting method is becoming increasingly popular. There are many reasons why.
Women who have excess fat in areas such as the hips, thighs, and flanks are ideal candidates for the Brazilian butt augmentation. Fat tissues are moved from the donor site using minimally invasive liposuction techniques, and purified and processed. The fat grafts are then injected into specific areas in the buttocks so as to achieve the desired volume and contour. Proper placement of the fat is ensured with the use of advanced diagnostic imaging modalities. This procedure provides natural looking results as it uses the patient’s own fat. Moreover, the process of fat harvesting improves the hip-to-waist ratio while enhancing the shape of the derriere.
Another advantage of the fat transfer option is that it avoids the complications associated to implants such as implant rupture, implant displacement, fluid collection, and capsular conjecture. Implant surgery may require additional procedures to correct implant-related complications. Moreover, butt implants have to be replaced after a few years. There would be scars and results may not be as attractive and natural looking as with the Brazilian butt lift.
Gluteal augmentation also has a much shorter recovery time than the more invasive implant procedure and patients can get back to normal activity sooner. It is the ideal option for women who want to avoid having foreign material inserted into their bodies. In a professional NYC surgical practice, the treatment is performed under local anesthesia, reducing patient risks. There would only be minimal discomfort and only reduced chances of rejection as your own tissue is used.
