Learn More About Butt Augmentation Surgery
Butt Augmentation is a surgical procedure that modifies and enhances the shape and form of the buttocks. Butt Augmentation is becoming one of the most requested procedures. Because of aging, weight gain and loss, natural body proportions, deformities or injury, some individuals may wish to augment the appearance, size and shape of their buttocks.
Butt Augmentation
Outcomes & Results
Individuals considering butt augmentation to improve sagging skin enhance overall appearance or increase volume in the buttocks may identify the following challenges:
- Inability of dieting and exercise to improve the buttocks.
- Excessive accumulation of sagging or hanging skin following weight loss or aging.
- A lack of volume or ‘perkiness’ in the buttocks.
- A lack of shape in the buttocks.
- Buttock irregularity due to injury or deformity.
The overall outcomes and results of butt augmentation surgery are to improve the disproportionate areas in the hip to buttock aesthetics unit and, ultimately, to achieve the perfect shaped butt. For many individuals this shape can be the ultimate form of sexiness and is described as a buttock that is smaller on the top, flares to the sides and blends well with the thighs.
A Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat from other areas of your body to add volume and shape to the buttocks. A Brazilian Butt Lift does not, however, repair or remove excess sagging skin. Individuals who have lost a substantial amount of weight (over 100 pounds), and have excess sagging may require a traditional butt lift. Individuals who do not have adequate fat to transfer to the buttocks or are looking for a less invasive surgical procedure may benefit from butt implants.

Recovery
Recovery Process
The recovery time is dependent on the butt augmentation procedure chosen; however, you will be unable to sit down for some time following the procedure. The time limitation can be up to three weeks. In addition, butt augmentation surgeries often have recovering times of 2 – 8 weeks. If you work in a job that requires a lot of sitting, lifting or straining you may need to modify your duties in the weeks following the surgery.
Generally, post-operative instructions call for rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and recovery time. The surgical sites will be covered in bandages. Your surgeon will give you instructions on providing an optimal environment for wound healing.
You will not be able to sit or lay on your buttocks for up to three weeks. Your surgeon will give you a physical activity schedule for your recovery. You may need to wear a compression support garment.
As the body recuperates, the patient can expect some swelling, and discomfort. Medication can be prescribed to relieve any pain caused by the procedure.
The stitches will be removed shortly after the surgery depending on the procedure(s) involved. Your surgeon will give you instructions for follow-up appointments as necessary. Although there will be a slight scar it will become less prominent in about a year. Dr. Craft may recommend scar diminishing cream if scarring is a concern for you.
