Brazilian Buttlift Vs Butt Augmentation

Today, there are various types of ‘butt lifts’ available, with the Brazilian butt lift being among the most favored. These procedures are also known as butt augmentations or gluteal augmentations. Recently, their popularity has surged due to their ability to enhance the body's overall shape. Buttocks-enhancing techniques may involve removing excess skin, tightening, liposuction, transferring fat from other body areas, and/or using butt implants. Numerous options exist to achieve your desired shape.

Why do individuals opt for butt lifts? These people typically fall into at least one of these categories:

1. seek to increase the size of their buttocks

2. are satisfied with the size but want to improve the shape of their buttocks

3. feel their body lacks proportion

4. notice their butt is ‘drooping’ with age

5. want to enhance body shape balance

6. believe added roundness and fullness will enhance their figure

7. desire a procedure that slims the waist while enlarging the buttocks (Brazilian butt lift)

Types of butt lifts

Butt implants or augmentation

Traditional implant surgery involves placing a gel silicone or water-filled device into each buttock, creating a full, rounded look. Gel silicone implants were once common, but if ruptured, the gel can leak, causing a lumpy, undesirable appearance, sometimes with infection or organ damage risks. Today, water-filled implants are more prevalent, as a rupture poses less danger. However, even though a water-based implant rupture is generally not hazardous, it remains a potential issue. Ruptures, though rare, can occur, especially from a hard fall or trauma to the buttocks, leading to drooping, asymmetry, and necessitating further surgery.

Newer type of butt implants: solid silicone

Currently, there is an option for butt implants using “solid silicone.” These implants maintain the benefits of traditional augmentation, with a significant improvement: solid silicone cannot rupture. Thus, using a solid silicone implant alleviates concerns associated with water-filled or gel silicone implants. However, butt implants always result in a scar, making them less appealing in many cases.

Brazilian butt lift

The Brazilian butt lift is an alternative to implants. This relatively recent procedure has quickly gained popularity due to its significant advantages when comparing a Brazilian butt lift vs butt augmentation with implants.

1. Firstly, a Brazilian butt lift does not require inserting a foreign object into your body. Instead, it uses your own fat for enhancement, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or body rejection.

2. Another key benefit is that while implants leave a scar, a Brazilian butt lift is done through injections, leaving almost no visible marks.

3. The procedure begins with the surgeon removing fat from another body area, resulting in a shapelier butt and a slimmer area like the abdomen or hips.

4. This type of butt lift is minimally invasive, often leading to shorter procedures, less downtime, and easier recovery for patients.
