How Is Butt Augmentation Performed?

Butt enhancement can be performed using one or a combination of the following methods:

Fat Transfer/Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) utilizes fat transfer to add volume to the buttocks. The fat transfer technique consists of three steps. First, excess fat is removed from one area of the body using liposuction techniques. The fat is then cleansed and prepared for injection. Lastly, the purified fat is gently and strategically injected into the buttocks.

This technique is popular because it offers a natural-looking augmentation and includes body contouring with liposuction. Patients must have sufficient excess fat in another area of their body for a butt augmentation with fat transfer.

Butt Implants

Butt augmentation using implants consists of inserting solid silicone butt implants to enhance the volume and shape of the buttocks. A small and inconspicuous incision is made just below the tailbone, and the implants are inserted inside the gluteus muscle. This technique offers dramatically fuller and rounder results that look and feel more toned and firm. Because the implants are inside the muscle, they will not droop or flip.

Composite Buttock Augmentation

This technique uses a combination of buttock implants and fat transfer (BBL) to achieve buttock projection, fuller laterals, and more voluminous hips. This is a new method for gluteal reshaping that seeks to use the best of both worlds: the reliable core projection of an implant combined with the natural appearance and feel of fat. Patients benefit from achieving more projection than attainable with fat transfer alone.

Butt Lift With Augmentation

With this procedure combination, the goal is to correct sagging in the buttocks area and add volume. A thong-type incision is used to lift the butt tissues and remove excess skin just above the buttocks. A local flap of the patient’s tissue, fat injections, or implants can be used to add butt volume. This technique is ideal for patients with evident skin and fat sagging in the buttocks.

How Should I Prepare for My Butt Augmentation?

Being properly prepared for your procedure can help you have a smooth and quick recovery with reduced risks.

Before your butt augmentation, you should:

Stop smoking for at least six weeks
Avoid medications and supplements that could thin the blood for at least two weeks
Arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home and assist you
- You will need assistance for at least the first 24 hours after your procedure
Do not eat or drink after midnight the day of your butt augmentation surgery
Be sure to bring all important documents and identification with you on the day of the procedure

At Agullo Plastic Surgery, tailored care begins with a full consultation to discuss the goals and options available.

Other Butt Augmentation Concerns

Is Butt Augmentation Painful?

During your procedure, general anesthesia will be used to ensure your comfort. Following the procedure, it is normal to experience some bruising, swelling, and soreness. These symptoms can usually be treated with over-the-counter pain medication.

What Can I Expect From Butt Augmentation Recovery?

Following the procedure, you will need to use compression garments and a special seat. You may experience some bruising and swelling, which will begin to subside after two weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities after two weeks, but Brazilian Butt Lift patients should continue to avoid putting pressure directly on the butt for several weeks. The swelling will continue to diminish over the next few months.

When Will I See My Butt Augmentation Results?

With all butt augmentation techniques, some swelling will obscure the final results of the procedure for a couple of weeks. Final results are usually visible about one month after the procedure. Brazilian Butt Lift patients will experience partial absorption of the grafted fat during the first few months, but the fat that remains after that point is generally permanent.

Will My Butt Augmentation Leave Scars?

The amount of scarring you experience following your butt augmentation will depend on the technique that you choose. Butt augmentation through fat transfer uses smaller incisions than augmentation with implants or with a lift. Dr. Agullo is always sure to put an effort toward placing and closing incisions with great care so they are discreet and heal well.

How Much Does Butt Augmentation Cost?

The cost of butt implant surgery starts at $9,500. The Brazilian Butt Lift cost with one liposuction site is approximately $7,500. Additional areas can be treated with liposuction for about $2,000 per area with this procedure. Butt lift surgery costs start at $9,000.

These butt augmentation prices represent the minimum cost of the procedures, including anesthesia and surgical facility fees, medical tests, garments, and recovery products. The cost of prescription medications, however, is not included. The cost of your butt augmentation surgery varies depending on the extent of your surgery.

During your consultation, you will be provided with the cost of your personalized butt augmentation procedure. Generally speaking, cosmetic plastic surgery is considered elective and is not covered by most insurance plans. All fees must be paid in full prior to the scheduled treatment. Refer to our plastic surgery cost page if you’d like to see the cost of other procedures.

What Are Some Frequently Asked Questions About Butt Augmentation?

Can I sit after my butt augmentation?

You won’t be able to sit down immediately after the procedure, and sitting on the buttocks should be avoided as much as possible for at least the first two weeks. This is especially important for patients who undergo the fat transfer technique for butt augmentation. You will be provided with a BBL pillow so that you can sit on your thighs and leave pressure off of the buttocks.

How long does the butt enhancement procedure take?

Butt augmentation surgery takes about two to three hours to complete, but time will vary depending on the technique used and if any other cosmetic surgeries are combined with the procedure.

How do I know which butt augmentation option is best for me?

During your consultation, you will get a chance to share your goals with Dr. Agullo, and after giving you an examination, he will be able to give you advice as to which option would be best for you.

Can butt augmentation help me get an hourglass shape?

These butt enhancement procedures will achieve an hourglass shape. Patients looking for an even smaller waist will often undergo tummy tuck surgery to slim the midsection with a triple plication internal corset and breast augmentation surgery to increase their breast size. This combination of procedures is ideal for getting the coveted hourglass body shape.

What procedures can I combine with my butt augmentation?

If you would like to combine procedures with your butt augmentation, be sure to mention your goals with Dr. Agullo so he can advise you on whether your procedures can be done together. Procedures that may pair well with your butt augmentation include a thigh lift or a lower body lift.

If I’m using fat transfer for my butt augmentation, can I also have other areas enhanced with the fat?

Yes! Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, can also be used to enhance and rejuvenate various other areas of the body. Options include fat transfer breast augmentation for a subtle increase in breast volume and facial fat transfer to fill wrinkles and hollows in the face. Fat can be used in almost all parts of the body, such as in the thighs to balance the buttock augmentation, the calves for more definition, and even the labia majora for a more youthful appearance.

Will buttock augmentation correct my cellulite?

While the buttock augmentation procedure may improve the appearance of cellulite, it doesn’t always correct it. In these cases, we use Cellfina® to break the bands that are pulling on the skin that create the unsightly divots. In some cases, Cellfina® can be performed at the same time as buttock augmentation. In other cases, Dr. Agullo will advise that you wait at least three months after the buttock augmentation procedure to undergo Cellfina® treatment.

What if I’m unhappy with the results of my butt augmentation?

While most patients are extremely happy with their results, there are some whose butt enhancement expectations were not met. As with all procedures, there is also a risk of complications with butt augmentation. Dr. Agullo is experienced in butt augmentation revision to improve the contours of your butt after your initial surgery if you’re dissatisfied with your results or experience complications.
