Plastic Surgery Buyers Guide

Maybe it was J-Lo. Or perhaps it was simply one of those cultural phenomenons that move too quickly to keep up with, but suddenly during the 21st century, women decided they wanted a rounder, more pronounced derriere. While Sir Mix-A-Lot rapped that he liked big butts, and he could not lie, during the 1980s, there was very little that could be done about getting a rounder rear without changing your diet for the worse. The key was to make it sexy and appealing. Then came buttocks augmentation, and women of the world have been rejoicing since.

Since 2003, buttock augmentation has been one of the fastest growing plastic surgical procedures in the country.  According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there was a 162% change in the numbers of people getting buttock augmentation between 2000 and 2008. It was one of the few procedures to see its numbers go up rather than down with the economic troubles the country has seen.

Those who seek out buttock augmentation are most likely women who feel their buttocks are less well-developed or flatter than they’d like. Some of these women have undergone breast augmentation and are looking for ways to fill out their lower body as they have their breasts. While buttock implants have been popular, one of the most popular buttock augmentation procedures these days is the Brazilian butt lift.

The Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift procedure does more than simply fill out the buttocks. It’s a firmer, fitter butt using your own fat cells. Because of this, the Brazilian butt lift is also known as autologous buttock augmentation. There are several benefits over butt implants with the Brazilian butt lift procedure, including:

Less operative time Less discomfort and pain post-operatively Recuperation time is minimal Patients will benefit from modified liposuction done at donor sites

Those seeking the Brazilian butt lift must have enough fat cells to donate for the procedure, ideally more than two. The fat is generally taken from the abdomen, love handle area, or lower back. It is then purified to get the best cells before it is re-injected into each buttock to the desired size.

The end result is a firmer, fuller, and younger looking rear that will complement your figure.
