Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)
Buttock Augmentation New York, Butt Implants, Brazilian Butt Lift NY
Our buttock augmentation New York and Brazilian butt lift NY surgeons are among the busiest in Manhattan and Long Island these days! This is because buttock augmentation is one of the most requested procedures in our plastic surgery offices. With so much attention being given to the buttock area on television, the Internet, and in magazines it’s no wonder more women than ever before are turning to a butt lift for a sexier and more curvaceous backside.
For patients with small, flattened, boxy or sagging buttocks, a Brazilian butt lift can be something that enhances both their figure and their self-esteem. It can help them look and feel more beautiful, increasing their overall confidence which can positively affect many different areas of their lives. This can be achieved through a Brazilian butt lift using fat transfer or through the use of buttock implants. Aging, pregnancy and massive weight loss can be just some of the many factors that can leave a person with a sagging or flat bottom.
Best Candidates for Surgery at Our Buttock Augmentation New York and Brazilian Butt Lift NY Centers
Patients who are dissatisfied with their shape due to aging, genetics, lifestyle (sitting too much) and whose backside has not responded well to exercise are the best candidates for buttock augmentation using implants or fat transfer. Our Brazilian butt lift NY patients should be in good health and non-smokers. Patients who smoke will be asked to stop smoking at least two weeks prior to their procedure and to not smoke again afterward.
Most of our buttock augmentation New York patients are within 25 pounds of their ideal weight but this is not necessarily a requirement for being eligible for the procedure. Buttock augmentation patients who undergo the fat transfer (fat grafting) butt lift must have ample body fat in other areas of their body to be able to transfer enough fat into the buttocks for the procedure. If a patient does not have enough fat, buttock implants will be used.
How Surgery is Done by Our Buttock Augmentation New York and Brazilian Butt Lift NY Surgeons
Our patients are as unique in their shapes and sizes as they are in personality. Some want to have a reduction of fat in certain areas while others are looking to plump up a particular area of the buttocks with more volume. No matter what your areas of concern, our highly skilled Brazilian butt lift NY and buttock augmentation New York plastic surgeons can give you a beautiful backside with the option of several different procedures to choose from:
- Buttock Augmentation – In this procedure, the buttocks is enhanced with a rounder shape and curvier profile using silicone butt implants on either side of the derriere or by injecting the patient’s own fat into the areas of the buttocks that need enhancement. A fat transfer to the buttock from another part of the body is called a Brazilian Butt Lift. Our Brazilian butt lift NY surgeons perform hundreds of these procedures every year.
- Buttock Augmentation and Lift – Not only does the buttocks receive a rounder and more shapely contour through the use of either fat grafting (fat transfer) or butt implants, the area is also lifted by our buttock augmentation New York specialists to reverse the problem of buttock skin that sags and hangs loose. A butt lift involves removing a band of skin from the lower back in order to lift the buttocks into a more youthful shape and contour.
- Buttock Contouring – This minimally-invasive procedure involves using the SmartLipo laser-assisted liposuction technique to permanently remove unwanted fat and to tighten the skin. Buttock contouring can be especially effective for patients who are already happy with the projection and roundness of their buttocks but would like it to be more noticeable. They can achieve an even curvier, sexier shape when the thighs and lower back are sculpted using SmartLipo.
- Buttock Lift – A butt lift is for patients who are otherwise happy with the size and shape of their buttocks but who need to have the skin lifted up so the area doesn’t sag. This is especially popular for patients who are post-pregnancy or who have lost elasticity in their skin due to previously being overweight and from aging. A lift removes a band of skin from the lower back so that the buttocks can be lifted up into a higher position. For some patients with less severe sagging, SmartLipo laser liposuction can reshape the buttocks and tighten the skin.
- Buttock Reduction and Lift – At Advanced Cosmetic Surgery of New York, we try to use the least invasive methods for cosmetic enhancement wherever possible. With a buttock reduction procedure, often times we can achieve the patient’s goals through the use of minimally invasive SmartLipo laser liposuction. The SmartLipo laser melts away fat and removes it permanently while the heat from the laser tightens up the skin. In more severe cases of loose or sagging skin, additional lift may be requires through removing a band of skin from the lower back and lifting the buttocks into a higher position.
Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions to our Buttock Augmentation New York and Brazilian Butt Lift NY Surgeons:
- Is the surgery performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia?
- How long is the recovery time?
- Will I have to wear a compression garment?
- Is buttock augmentation, fat transfer, buttock reduction or Brazilian Butt Lift covered by insurance?
- How much do these procedures cost?
- How do I know which procedure(s) will give me the results I am looking for?
- How long do the results last?
Most of the time, this procedure is done using our unique method of local anesthesia. In some cases, however, the procedure is done under general anesthesia. In cases where only SmartLipo is to be done to the buttocks, local anesthesia is used. We have two AAAHC accredited surgical centers (buttock augmentation New York in Manhattan and Brazilian butt lift NY in Long Island) that help us to provide patients with a way to have their outpatient buttock procedure while being close enough to home afterward to begin resting right away.
Recovery after buttock implants typically takes up to three weeks for the discomfort to subside completely so patients can go back to work and sit comfortably in an office chair for an extended amount of time. For our Brazilian butt lift NY and fat transfer (fat grafting) patients, down time can be reduced by as much as a week. For SmartLipo-only patients, down time is only one to two days. Our buttock augmentation New York surgeons will advise you about physical activity and exercise restrictions during their pre-operative appointment.
Yes. A compression garment not only helps the healing process by reducing swelling in the area, but it helps minimize discomfort and holds the tissues in their new position. Our buttock augmentation New York surgeons require to wear a compression garment for several weeks after their procedure. The length of time depends upon which combination of treatments was performed.
No. Since there is no medical necessity relating to a health condition or disease, procedures performed by our Brazilian Butt Lift NY surgeons are considered to be cosmetic in nature and are not covered by insurance. If you need help financing the costs of your procedure, we can help you apply for CareCredit or other financing and we will work with you to arrive at a reasonable price that works within your budget constraints.
Our Brazilian butt lift procedure costs between $8,500 and $12,500. We accept CareCredit and several other cosmetic procedure financing and we are glad to work with you on the final cost of your buttock augmentation procedure to arrive at a price that you can manage.
Since each of our buttock augmentation New York patients is unique in their current situation as well as their aesthetic goals, the best way to determine which procedure will work for you is to come in for a free consultation with one of our Brazilian Butt Lift NY plastic surgeons.
Typically, over 80% of the fat that has been injected into the buttock area (or anywhere in the body) remains in its newly permanent area three months and beyond when the procedure was done. This is good news because many of our buttock augmentation New York patients are satisfied with the 80% that remains and do not feel that a second treatment is necessary.
