Each person considering a buttocks enhancement procedure have their own needs and expectations. That is why it is important to explain the difference between the main types of this procedure.

· Brazilian butt lift (BBL)
The Brazilian buttock lift is the most popular cosmetic butt enhancement procedure, which is rapidly gaining in popularity. Often shortened to BBL, it is a fat grafting procedure that uses the excess fat of your own body to improve the fullness and contour of your buttocks.

Many people think that Brazilian butt lift is similar to the traditional butt lift (explained below) only because of the similar names they have, but in fact, they are two quite different procedures. A Brazilian butt lift involves extracting unwanted fat from other parts of your body, such as the love handles, thighs and abdomen through liposuction procedure and re-injecting it into the buttocks after purifying it using a centrifuge.

Depending on the surgeon’s techniques and your desired results, the number, depth and amount of injection is different, but as a whole, a greater number of smaller injections produces a better result. Also, since a great portion of the injected fat will be absorbed by the body over time, the surgeon injects as much fat as possible so that the final long-term result be still satisfactory for the patient.

· Traditional butt lift
The traditional butt lift surgery is aimed at removing the excess sagging skin of the buttocks in order to tighten the area. It is recommended for those people who have a droopy butt and want to get a tighter backside with a more youthful appearance. One important point is that a traditional butt does not improve the buttocks by adding volume to them. Rather, it enhances the shape of a person’s rears by removing and lifting up the droopy skin and tissue.

It is worth noting that a Brazilian buttock lift can be done at the same time as a traditional butt lift. It means that if you wish to get rid of the droopy skin of your derriere before getting it enlarged, you can have the two procedures combined in a single surgery appointment.

· Butt implants
The third type of buttocks enhancement procedure is augmentation with butt implants. These silicone implants are specially made to be implanted into the buttocks to make them fullers and shapelier. Butt implants are the best option for people who are unhappy with the size of their buttocks but do not have enough excess fat for a butt augmentation with fat grafting or Brazilian butt lift.

Because of the greater chance of developing complications in butt implants than Brazilian butt lift (including the possibility of malposition and infection), the latter is recommended for people with excessive fat deposits.

A traditional butt lift involves making incisions on the top of the bottom, hips, groin, or lower part of the buttocks to remove excess sagging skin, lifting up the buttocks and tightening the skin. The surgeon may also use liposuction on the so-called ‘gluteal fold’ (also called gluteal smile line) to remove the crease and create a better contour.

The incisions are then closed and stitched up and a drain may be placed to remove any excess fluid or blood. The surgical area is finally dressed and a compression garment or girdle is applied to minimize bruising and swelling and keep the buttocks in place to prevent any reshaping before complete healing.

A butt lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts 2-5 hours. Butt lift may be part of a more extensive procedure called lower body lift or belt lift, which involves removing excess skin and tightening the skin of the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks altogether.

Brazilian butt lift is a great option for people who want to have a bigger, rounder derriere without getting foreign objects into their body. BBL surgery is suitable for people who have enough fat deposits in other areas of their body. Although very thin people are not good candidates for BBL, fat stores can be found in many people even if they look slim.

Therefore, if you are too thin to be a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift, consider butt implants. Also, if you have a droopy butt, you had better opt for a butt lift to get your buttocks tightened up, though you can get a BBL at the same time to add volume to your derriere.

People should also have realistic expectations about the outcome of their surgery and their recovery. Be sure to have all your questions and doubts cleared up with your surgeon during the pre-op consultation.

Before opting for one of the above-mentioned butt enhancement surgeries, make sure to consult with a physician to discuss your goals and desires. Also, the most important factor in a successful plastic surgery procedure is a qualified surgeon, so choose your surgeon with great care.
