With advancements in surgical techniques and the availability of skilled practitioners, butt augmentation procedures can deliver natural-looking outcomes. Implants can be customized to fit the patient's body shape, while fat grafting allows for the use of the individual's own fat, yielding results that blend seamlessly with the rest of the body. The benefits of butt augmentation can vary depending on the individual's goals and the specific method chosen. Here are some potential advantages:

• Achieves a fuller, rounder shape

• Reduces sagging skin

• Lifts and tightens the buttocks

• Addresses volume loss due to aging or weight loss

• Improves body proportions

• Produces results when diet and exercise don’t work

• Provides a natural look

• Effective for both men and women

Women and men all across the United States meet with Dr. Mesbahi to gain more information about butt augmentation. Ideal candidates meet the following criteria:

• Are in good overall health
• Have great skin elasticity
• Wish for a more curvaceous or fuller backside
• Have lost size due to major weight loss or age
• Are not candidates for fat transfer procedures

Mesbahi Plastic Surgery provides a variety of implant sizes and shapes to meet your expectations. Typically, we use solid, silicone elastomer implants as they provide the most natural appearance. All of this information will be discussed during your initial consultation with Dr. Mesbahi. During this time, he will be able to help you choose the implants that best complement your individual shape. On the day of your surgery, small incisions will be strategically created within the natural fold of the backside and your selected implants will be securely attached. The incisions will then be closed and bandaged. Butt augmentation with implants is usually performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, and therefore, does not require an overnight stay in the hospital.

Butt augmentation with a lift uses excision and tightening techniques to alter the shape and projection of the buttocks instead of implants. Even though a lift can help you achieve a firmer form, it does not increase the size of the buttocks. A butt lift is considered an outpatient procedure that is performed under general anesthesia. To start, an incision is made under the natural crease of your buttocks and loose skin will be removed. The remaining tissue is tightened, and the muscles are then elevated to a higher position. Liposuction may also be incorporated to remove small pockets of fat. Once this process is complete, your incisions will be closed and you will be monitored for a short time and then released to go home. The surgery generally takes about two hours to complete. 

After your procedure, it is not uncommon to feel minor pain and experience swelling and bruising for several days. Drains are often placed and will need to remain in place for a week to allow blood and fluid to empty properly for optimal healing. In most cases, normal activities can be resumed within 2 – 3 weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least six weeks. Dr. Mesbahi is a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon so patients are often excited to find that scars are nearly invisible. Since the incisions are made within the folds of the buttocks, you can feel even more confident in your bikinis and shorts knowing that your scars aren't noticeable to the naked eye. 

Can I also get implants during a butt lift procedure?
Yes. Many of our patients decide to enhance their buttocks with both implants and a lift. If you are concerned about sagging skin, then a lift may be best, but if you wish to increase the size of your buttocks, then implants are ideal. If you'd like to address both sagging skin and volume, then a combination procedure can be performed. During your initial visit with Dr. Mesbahi, be sure to talk to him about all of your cosmetic goals so he can build a custom butt augmentation plan that suits your needs.

What is the difference between a butt augmentation with implants and a Brazilian butt lift?
Butt augmentation with implants uses silicone devices to increase volume while a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses a fat transfer to enhance your shape. Ideal candidates for a Brazilian butt lift have a sufficient amount of fat in their thighs, abdomen, or flanks for the transfer. If you do not have enough fat, butt augmentation with implants may be your best option.

Do butt implants last longer than a fat transfer?
During your consultation, the pros and cons of implants and a fat transfer will be explained by Dr. Mesbahi so you can decide which one is right, depending on your needs and goals. He will explain how you can maintain the outcomes of implants or a fat transfer so you can choose which option better fits your lifestyle.

Will weight gain affect my results?
Yes. Any amount of significant weight gain may negatively impact the appearance of your buttocks. Dr. Mesbahi suggests that you maintain a balanced diet and exercise routine to preserve the results of your butt augmentation.

How soon will I see results after butt augmentation?
Initial results from butt augmentation are typically visible soon after the procedure, but swelling may obscure the final outcome for several weeks. Full results are generally noticeable within 3 _ 6 months, and Dr. Mesbahi will monitor your progress during follow-up visits.

Will there be visible scars after butt augmentation?
Scarring from butt augmentation is typically minimal. Implant-based butt augmentation involves incisions that are strategically placed in natural creases or hidden areas of the buttocks to minimize visibility. Dr. Mesbahi uses advanced techniques to reduce scarring and provide the most natural-looking results.
