Buttock Augmentation - The Solution for a Full, Attractive Figure

Buttock augmentation is the optimal solution for those who want to quickly and effectively enhance their buttocks. With advancements in cosmetic technology, buttock augmentation procedures have become increasingly safe and effective.

What is Buttock Augmentation?

Buttock augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at improving the shape and size of the buttocks. By using augmentation materials such as autologous fat or implants, doctors can create a fuller, rounder, and more proportionate buttock area.

Buttock augmentation is particularly suitable for cases of sagging or flat buttocks, helping to lift and enhance the position of the buttocks. A full and attractive buttock will create a perfect body contour.

II/ Who Should Consider Buttock Augmentation?

Buttock augmentation is a popular cosmetic solution for improving the shape and size of the buttocks. Below are some cases where buttock augmentation should be considered:

• Individuals with small, flat, or disproportionate buttocks compared to other body parts.
• Those experiencing sagging buttocks or loss of skin elasticity due to pregnancy or sudden weight loss.
• People who desire fuller, more attractive buttocks.
• Those wanting to reshape their buttocks to become rounder and more balanced.

Note: Not everyone is suitable for buttock augmentation. For those under 18, individuals with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with blood clotting disorders, it is not recommended or should be carefully considered with a doctor before proceeding with buttock augmentation.

III/ Buttock Augmentation Methods

Buttock augmentation using autologous fat transfer and implants are two popular methods. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on individual needs.

1. Buttock Augmentation with Autologous Fat Transfer

This method improves the shape and size of the buttocks by taking excess fat from other parts of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, calves, etc.) and injecting it into the buttocks to create a fuller, more natural look. The fat is extracted, processed, and only the healthiest fat cells are selected for reinjection into the buttocks.

Advantages of autologous fat transfer, as pointed out by Dr. Richard Huy, include:

• Natural-looking fuller buttocks, as the body's own fat is used.
• Enhances the buttocks while simultaneously reducing unwanted fat in other areas.
• Very low risk of allergic reactions or rejection, since the body’s own fat cells are used.
• No visible scars, as the incisions for fat extraction and injection are small and located in discreet areas.

Disadvantages:

• Clients need to have a certain amount of excess fat to be harvested for the procedure.
• Fat transfer buttock augmentation cannot significantly increase buttock size.
• A portion of the transferred fat may be absorbed by the body over time.

Procedure for Buttock Augmentation with Autologous Fat Transfer:

• Step 1: Consultation with the doctor about the method, potential risks, recovery time, and costs.
• Step 2: A comprehensive health check to ensure the client is in good condition for the fat transfer procedure.
• Step 3: General anesthesia or local anesthesia will be administered depending on the scope of the procedure and the complexity of fat extraction.
• Step 4: The doctor will use specialized tools to extract excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. The harvested fat is processed through a centrifuge to remove dead cells and impurities.
• Step 5: The doctor will make small incisions in the buttock area to inject the fat and shape the buttocks.
• Step 6: The incisions will be carefully sutured with cosmetic stitches.
• Step 7: The client will rest in the clinic for observation, receive post-procedure care instructions, and schedule follow-up appointments.

2. Buttock Augmentation with Implants

Buttock augmentation with implants is a procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks by placing artificial implants inside the buttocks. These implants come in various shapes and sizes, helping to create fuller, rounder, and more attractive buttocks.

Advantages of Buttock Augmentation with Implants:

• Rapidly increases buttock size in a single surgery.
• Provides stable results since the implants are not absorbed by the body.
• A wide variety of implant types and sizes are available to suit different body shapes.

Disadvantages:

• The results may not appear as natural as with fat grafting.
• Although rare, complications such as infection, capsular contracture, or implant displacement can occur.

Procedure for Buttock Augmentation with Implants:

• Step 1: The doctor will perform a clinical examination to assess your health, take measurements of the buttocks area, and advise on the appropriate implant type.
• Step 2: The doctor will choose the size and shape of the implant and determine the placement location to ensure it is proportional to the body.
• Step 3: The patient will undergo anesthesia to alleviate pain during the implant surgery.
• Step 4: The doctor will create a space inside the gluteal muscles to place the implant.
• Step 5: The implant is inserted into the premade space and fixed in the desired position.
• Step 6: The incision will be closed with cosmetic sutures.
• Step 7: The buttocks will be bandaged to stabilize the area and reduce swelling. The patient will rest at the hospital, and the doctor will provide aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits.

IV/ Should You Choose Implants or Fat Grafting for Buttock Augmentation?

According to Dr. Richard Huy, choosing between implants and fat grafting depends heavily on the specific shape of the buttocks and the patient’s desires. For those who want a rapid size increase and long-lasting results, implants are a better option.

On the other hand, those looking for more natural results, with excess fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, and who want to both reduce fat and enhance their buttocks, may opt for fat grafting to improve their overall figure.

V/ Dr. Richard Huy’s Answers on Buttock Augmentation

1. Is Buttock Augmentation with Implants Dangerous?

Buttock augmentation with implants is not dangerous to health if performed correctly by an experienced and highly skilled cosmetic surgeon. A certified and experienced cosmetic surgeon will ensure that the implants are placed correctly, minimizing the risk of complications and achieving natural-looking results. Using high-quality implants, manufactured by reputable brands and medically approved, reduces the risk of rupture, leakage, or displacement.

However, clients should carefully consider their decision and seek consultation from an experienced doctor to ensure safety.

2. Is Fat Grafting for Buttock Augmentation Permanent?

Fat grafting for buttock augmentation does not provide permanent results, as the fat grafted into the buttocks will gradually be absorbed by the body over time. Typically, between 30% to 50% of the fat grafted may be absorbed by the body within a few months after surgery.

After the initial absorption phase, the remaining fat tends to stabilize, but not all fat cells will survive long-term. This means that the size and shape of the buttocks may change or decrease over time.

Whether choosing fat grafting or implants for buttock augmentation, it is important to understand the procedure, the potential risks, and the expected results. Researching thoroughly and selecting a reputable cosmetic clinic with skilled surgeons will provide the safest and most natural results for buttock augmentation.
