If your buttocks are small, flat, saggy, or uneven, you can overcome this condition by undergoing a butt lift procedure. Two popular butt lift procedures are the traditional butt lift and the Brazilian butt lift. Many patients don’t know the difference between the two. In this article, we will discuss the major differences between them and what specific aesthetic flaws can they address.
The traditional butt lift surgery treats sagginess in the buttocks. There are many factors like aging, weight changes, pregnancy, and genetics that can make the butt look saggy. The butt lift procedure treats the condition by removing the excess skin from the buttocks, and tightening the muscles and tissues in the area. On the other hand, the Brazilian butt lift is a treatment for small and uneven booties. It involves the use of your own body fat to add projection to and enhance your behind.
The butt lift procedure
If your buttocks have become loose and saggy as a result of aging, gravity, weight loss, or genetics, you may qualify for the butt lift surgery, also known as “traditional butt lift”. The procedure makes the buttocks firmer, tighter, and shapelier by surgically excising the excess skin, tightening the butt muscles and tissues, in addition to re-draping and repositioning the skin to make it look youthful. The butt lift is an effective procedure to restore the youthfulness of your buttocks.
The surgery can be custom tailored to your requirements and needs. The butt lift can be performed as a single procedure, or it can be combined with other surgeries like buttock implants. Since the size of your butt will drastically decrease after the butt lift, you may consider combining the butt implants procedure with it. That would involve the placing of silicone butt implants inside of your buttocks, so they appear fuller, firmer, and sexier.
The surgery, which is performed under general anesthesia, starts with the placing of an incision on the butt. In the second step, the surgeon will use the incision to surgically excise the thin layer of excess, hanging skin from your backside. If the surgeon deems it necessary, any excess tissue and fat will also be removed. Furthermore, the doctor will tighten the underlying gluteal muscles, so the butt appears firmer. He will then form sutures within the tissue to help your improved butt stay in their raised position.
There are some people who need only an upper butt lift. Then there are others who require butterfly butt lift or the lower butt lift. The former is a comprehensive intervention that involves placing of the incision on the upper part of your butt. This option is good for you if you have excessively sagged buttocks. On the other hand, the latter is used to treat mild to moderate butt sagging. It involves placing of an incision in the lower fold of your butts, running upward. Meanwhile, the butterfly butt lift involves placing of an incision in the middle of the butt crease running up and outward. It simply tightens any saggy butt tissue but will not contour your whole backside.
Brazilian butt lift
The Brazilian butt lift is a popular butt contouring procedure in the US. Each year, tens of thousands of women undergo the Brazilian butt lift to add projection to and enhance their rear ends. Unlike the traditional butt lift that involves excision of skin, tissue, and fat from the booties, the Brazilian butt lift involves the use of your own body fat to make your butt appear bigger, fuller, and aesthetically pleasant. If your butt is small, flat, poorly contoured, and mildly saggy or uneven, you may qualify for the Brazilian butt lift.
In order to qualify for the Brazilian butt lift, which is also known as the “autologous fat transfer”, you need to have the required amount of excess, unwanted fat in your body. If you lack extra fat in your body, you will not qualify for the procedure.
In the first step of the surgery, the doctor will place incisions on the fat donor areas and remove the excess fat deposits via liposuction. The common areas that store fat include the abdomen, sides, thighs, upper back, and love handles. During the liposuction, a small cannula is inserted in the target area through a tiny incision. The cannula is attached to a suction pump. After freeing the fat cells from the surrounding tissues via manual motions of the cannula, or through laser or power technologies, they will be suctioned out via a syringe or suction pump.
The fat removed from the body is then processed and purified, after which it is injected in the buttocks with a special syringe. The surgeon will inject the fat in several hundreds of locations on your buttocks to achieve the desired butt size and shape. After the procedure, your booties will look bigger, toned, and voluptuous.
However, if you want to increase your butt size substantially, you should go for the butt implants surgery instead of the Brazilian butt lift. The BBL will only add mild to moderate projection to your buttocks.
Conclusion
There are many people who do not see the difference between the butt lift and the Brazilian butt lift. While both procedures may sound like the same thing, they are totally different interventions. The butt lift is a surgical method to treat saggy buttocks. The procedure involves surgical removal of the excess or loose skin, fat, and tissue from your backside, in addition to the tightening of the gluteal muscles.
On the other hand, the Brazilian butt lift treats smaller, flatter, or poorly shaped booties. The procedure involves the use of liposuction to remove excess fat from different areas of your body and inject the harvested fat into the buttocks. After the surgery, your butt will appear bigger and sexier.
