Butt Enhancement San Diego

Why Consider Butt Enhancement in San Diego?

There are many reasons to consider a buttock enhancement at Divino Plastic Surgery in San Diego. You may want to change the contour of your posterior just as you can reshape other parts of the body. If you were born with a flat or boxy rear, or if you feel your butt is just too small to look good in and out of clothing, a buttock enhancement might be the procedure for you. You may also be a good candidate if you feel that your rear is too large or if it has a relatively normal size and shape but has lost its fullness over the years due to the effects of age and gravity. Each person’s backside is unique, and each patient has individual goals for their looks.

What are the Types of Buttock Enhancement Procedures?

• Brazilian Butt Lift
• Traditional Buttocks Lift
• Butt Implants

Brazilian Butt Lift

The Brazilian butt lift is a very versatile procedure to transform the look and shape of the gluteal area by removing your existing fat from one area and transferring that fat to the buttock area to create an enhanced butt. This procedure can be used to change the buttocks any way the patient wants. It helps increase the harmony of the buttocks to the waist ratio and their projection to the desired proportion.

Traditional Buttocks Lift

The traditional excisional buttock lifting techniques can solve a wide range of problems associated with significant deformity of the buttocks in addition to removal of excess skin. In this particular procedure, reshaping is performed by rearranging the buttock’s soft tissue in such a way that it will have a better projection and will anchor the soft tissue to help achieve long lasting results.

Butt Implants

Performing buttock implants is an additional option that mainly increases the buttock‘s projection but does not necessarily shape the hips. Buttock implants are typically combined with other procedures like liposuction and fat transfer to achieve the best results. However, like the fat transfer used on the Brazilian butt lift, patients with a significant flabby buttock and excess skin will not be well served with this procedure. There are buttock implants of different forms and shapes to meet the specific needs of each patient. Dr. Chacon uses his expertise and years of experience in order to create a beautiful buttock.

Benefits of Butt Augmentation

Patients who have butt augmentation enjoy several benefits, including:

• Having a bigger, rounder, younger-looking buttocks
• Achieving nicer proportions by making the abdomen look smaller in comparison
• Filling out pants or a swimsuit more easily
• Reducing excess fat deposits from another area of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs)
• Minimizing cellulite by expanding the volume of the buttocks

Creating Your Preferred Butt Shape

Butt augmentation is most common for patients who have a V-shaped (inverted) or square-shaped butt cheeks due to genetic factors. However, people of all sizes and shapes can benefit from adding more volume to their buttocks.

During a consultation, you will share your preferred butt shape and proportions so that the results correspond with your aesthetic goals. Most often, patients request a bubble butt (with round, full cheeks) or an upside-down heart shape to better correspond with shapes that are considered most attractive. Some patients simply want a curvier butt to enhance their hourglass figure. With a specific implant shape or carefully molded fat, the experts at Divino Plastic Surgery can fulfill your goals.

Buttock Enhancement Recovery

The recovery process and instruction will vary slightly depending on the procedure or combinations of procedures used to enhance your buttocks. It is very important to wear a specialized compression garment during recovery. These garments are necessary to provide support and reduce movement in the buttocks area. Heavy exercise should be avoided during recovery for the first several weeks so as not to disrupt your result. If the recovery is going well, weight-training exercises that do not directly affect the buttocks area may be permitted.

For the first two weeks of recovery, butt enhancement patients should avoid putting direct pressure on the buttocks for longer than a few minutes at a time. During this time, you may sit only when absolutely necessary, using a very soft cushion or donut-shaped pillow to avoid putting pressure on the buttocks. Position yourself on your belly or side when resting in order to keep from putting pressure on your buttocks. Patients should take light walks beginning with the first night following surgery to reduce the risk of developing blood clots in the legs.

Most patients are able to return to work during week two or three of their recovery, depending on the degree of activity. A soft cushion should still be used when sitting at work if necessary. Continue to avoid sitting on your backside. Patients should focus more on weight training than aerobic activity during this time to allow the new buttock shape to stabilize and heal.

During the fourth and fifth weeks after surgery, patients should continue to use a cushion if sitting for prolonged periods. More intense activities can be performed, such as elliptical and fast-paced walking. Patients can enjoy time at the beach or pool and swim if desired.

Butt Augmentation Results

Buttock enhancement is generally considered permanent because results last indefinitely. With Brazilian butt lift, the fat transferred to your backside has a high survival rate since your body recognizes and adopts its own fat in its new location. The key to long-lasting results is to maintain a steady weight: gaining or losing a significant amount of weight can alter the contours achieved with the procedure.

Buttock implants are very durable and can also last a lifetime. If so desired, implants can be safely removed and replaced (or simply removed) in the future.
