If you’re not happy with the size of your backside, then you’ve likely considered a cosmetic surgery procedure to improve your proportions, such as a Brazilian butt lift or butt implant. But which procedure is right for you? There are pros and cons to both types of butt enhancements, so let’s take a look at each of them.
Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs)
A Brazilian butt lift is essentially a fat transfer procedure. During a BBL, a cosmetic surgeon will harvest fat from one area of the body, such as the love handles or stomach, and then inject that fat into specific areas of the buttocks to change their size and shape.
There is a wide range of benefits to BBL surgery. For one, since a patient’s own fat is used to add volume, the results are more natural, especially when compared to butt implants. BBL surgery also has a fairly quick recovery time, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a week or two of the procedure. Furthermore, BBLs not only enhance the backside, but they can remove unwanted fat from a troublesome area like the stomach. That’s a win/win all around!
Butt Implants
Butt implants are silicone-filled artificial devices that are surgically inserted into the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder bottom. These implants come in all shapes, sizes, and textures, and are typically the go-to recommendation for individuals without enough donor fat for an effective Brazilian butt lift. Butt implants are considered permanent with a highly successful surgery rate. However, surgical complications can occur and the implants can move around, leading to an uneven look. What’s more, recovery is typically not as quick as BBL surgery.
Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Butt Implants: Which Should You Choose?
Ultimately, it’s up to you which butt augmentation option you choose. The increasing popularity of Brazilian butt lifts makes them an ideal option for most individuals. With little downtime and the added benefit of body contouring alongside the procedure, it’s a no-brainer for many people.
At Tampa Surgical Arts, we offer both Brazilian butt lifts and butt implants for our clients. What’s more, we’re even able to offer a BBL option for thin patients, called the skinny BBL. If you think your only buttock enhancement option is butt implants because you don’t have enough donor fat, that’s simply not the case. Skinny BBLs are perfect for individuals with body mass indexes (BMIs) under 25 and can enhance your backside for an improved look.
Your BBL surgery will be completed by our triple-board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Manik S. Bedi, who provides a compassionate, individualized approach to care. During your consult with him, he will tell you more about your buttock enhancement options, complete a physical exam to recommend the ideal procedure for you, and answer all of your questions. He spends ample time with each client because your comfort is our top priority.
