Many people today are in favor of curvier hour-glass body shapes, and this includes a rounder, fuller buttocks. If you’re not naturally blessed with a plumper backside, you may be considering all your options for achieving one. Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) have grown in popularity because of this, but you may personally have reservations about receiving this procedure. That’s okay—you should never undergo a surgery you’re not completely comfortable with. If you’re looking to try out a nonsurgical alternative to a BBL first, you’ve got a few options to choose from.
Sculptra or Radiesse Injections
With a traditional Brazilian butt lift procedure, fat is harvested through a series of small entry points and then injected into the buttocks. This surgery is already minimally invasive, but some people may want an even less invasive approach. Or, you may be okay with a BBL but don’t have enough fat to transfer. For these reasons and more, you can have a filler like Sculptra or Radiesse used for your BBL. Both of these fillers can provide you with similar results as a traditional Brazilian butt lift. And since there are less incisions from not needing to harvest any fat, the recovery period is a bit shorter and easier than with a BBL.
Skin Tightening
You may be able to improve the appearance of your derrière by having skin tightening treatments done. As we age, we tend to produce less collagen, which makes the skin lose elasticity. So, if you were once proud of your assets but now feel like your behind is ‘saggy’, you may only need to undergo a skin-tightening procedure to get that plump appearance once again. Some skin-tightening treatments, like Renuvion, are minimally invasive, requiring only one or two small incisions.
Targeted Exercises
If you’ve never received any sort of procedure—even a minimally invasive one—then you may be extra cautious about having incisions made or using anesthesia. While there’s nothing to be afraid of with these procedures, it’s still your decision what to do with your body. A totally surgery-free alternative to a BBL is to perform targeted exercises that provide a firmer and more shapely buttocks. You can start incorporating movements like squats, lunches, hip thrusts, kickbacks, and numerous others into your workout routine to gradually achieve your desired results.
