Procedure Details
Preparation:
Before butt augmentation surgery, specific preparations are necessary, including:
Quitting smoking at least six weeks before the surgery.
Discontinuing medications that increase bleeding.
Before Surgery:
All three types of butt augmentation surgeries may involve general anesthesia. Antibiotics may be administered to prevent infection.
During Surgery:
The surgical duration varies for each type:
Butt Implants: Incisions are made, and implants are inserted inside or below the muscle.
EVL - Buttock Fat Grafting: Fat is extracted via liposuction and grafted into the subcutaneous tissue using EVL, ensuring a natural and safe outcome.
Butt Lift: Excess skin is removed through incisions in the lower back, hips, or below the buttocks.
After Surgery:
Post-surgery, patients will need to:
Wait at least 24 to 48 hours before showering.
Use a pillow for sitting and sleep on their stomach.
Potentially use surgical drains and wear compression garments.
Medications:
Patients may need to take antibiotics, pain medication, medicine to prevent blood clots, and stool softeners.

Butt augmentation enhances the appearance of the buttocks, providing a rounder and more youthful shape. Each procedure has unique benefits:

Build-up of fluid (seroma) or blood under the skin (hematoma).

Frequently Questions Asked
Who are the right candidates for buttock augmentation?
Any woman who desires a curvaceous body can undergo this surgery. Patients who have undergone massive weight loss are also prime candidates for this procedure.
Males looking for a more defined and an athletic looking buttock can also check out this surgery.
Is this the same as the Brazilian Butt Lift(BBL)?
No, BBL is a surgery where fat was injected into the muscles in the buttock, which has been linked to severe complications, including deaths. Instead, we use a safer technique known as EVL - Expansion Vibration Liposculpting, where fat is grafted into the subcutaneous tissue, ensuring equally gratifying results without the associated risks.
Will this surgery make my butt significantly bigger?
Not necessarily. It depends on your goals. If you only want a change in shape or filling of certain areas, the procedure can be customized accordingly.
