Buttock Augmentation From Consultation To Recuperation

Lately, buttocks augmentation has become a serious trend. These days, I am finding that beauty is measured more with a lady's booty than anything else. The media is preoccupied with voluptuous perky buttocks, A.K.A. “Booty Beauty.” I covered all the illegal injectable materials used as alternative approaches for butt augmentations in our February issue of Your Health “Beware Butt Augmentation.” Allow me to address, the “Natural Buttock Augmentation.” A natural buttocks augmentation, or “Brazilian butt lift” is a surgical procedure that involves liposuction combined with fat transfer into the buttocks. When aggressive, regional liposuction is performed along with the fat transfer, the procedure becomes the safest and most reliable method for achieving good, measurable, long lasting results. The liposuction portion of the buttocks augmentation procedure is the crucial aspect of the procedure. First and foremost, it is performed using standard liposuction techniques and not ultrasound or laser-assisted. This will ensure the viability of the harvested fat. It is also generally performed on particular areas that compete for attention in the buttocks region. It can do wonders to enhance the appearance of the buttocks. The foundation of all Brazilian butt lifts is the dramatic re-establishment of central fullness. This is achieved by careful planning of areas of liposuction and areas of augmentation. The secret lies in liposuction of the flanks, but most importantly the gluteus V shelf, which I refer to as the “fanny pack.” This area, the sacral area immediately above the buttock crease, is what sculpts and defines the curve that extends from the top of the buttock. The extent of liposuction and amount of fat placement varies from surgeon to surgeon. A great result in the Brazilian butt lift is the combination of optimal viable harvested adipose tissue placed near the upper half of the buttocks and the patient's preference area. This will produce a visible ledge on the buttocks with a soft texture. The procedure can produce dramatic results. All it takes is a few simple steps.

Consultation Meet your doctor. You and your plastic surgeon will be able to determine whether buttock augmentation is right for you. Patients often have a preferred area for their planned liposuction and have a particular, ideal buttock shape in mind. While in a standing position, you and your doctor will be able to look in the mirror. At that point you may decide what areas of liposuction you want and where you want fat to be placed for a fully satisfying outcome. To accomplish a smoother silhouette, your surgeon may still recommend additional areas of liposuction for optimal sculpturing results. You are not considered a candidate for a Brazilian butt lift if you have unrealistic expectations or a medical history that does not permit you to have elective surgery.

Surgery On the morning of your surgery, you will be asked to refrain from eating or drinking as part of anesthesia requirements. Your surgeon will address any questions you might have and mark your operative site for the planned surgical procedure while you are in standing position. Your anesthesiologist will describe the anesthesia process and address any question you might have. Your surgery may take 2-3 hours under anesthesia. Different surgeons and surgical facilities use different anesthesia methods, yet a Brazilian Buttlift can be performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, in which case the patient can breathe independently during the entire operation. This is the preferred method since it is more comfortable.Once the surgery is completed, an abdominal binder (like a corset) is placed to provide a slight compression to the liposuction area and the patient is transferred to a short stay in the recovery room. Patients usually go home within an hour of recovery.

Recuperation You will be discharged to a family member or a care-giver with all your proper medication to begin your recuperation process. Your surgeon will give your care-giver your discharge instructions. Other instructions include absolutely no cigarette smoking. Smoking will prevent your healing and beautiful transformation. You are encouraged to walk to the bathroom and around your house, and a follow up postoperative visit will be scheduled for the next day. It is also recommended that the binder be worn for a minimum of two weeks after surgery. An ideal recuperation period for a buttock augmentation is one week to ten days or an average of seven working days. Some patients can resume their work even earlier provided they do not exert physical activity during the healing period. Finally, it is recommended that you resume your normal physical activities gradually in order to avoid any complications.

Only your board-certified plastic surgeon can give you the buttock augmentation you desire, using your own fat in a safe and effective procedures. Call Luxxery today for your complimentary consultation with Dr. Hakki.
