Through the years, society’s perception on beauty has changed. Back in the old days, women with full or voluptuous figures were seen as beautiful and fertile. In more recent years, the concept of beauty has taken the form of slimmer-bodied belles. Today, with people like Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian featuring in ‘sexiest woman’ polls, we seem to be going back to traditional ideals.
Even in early centuries, the male species have been found to be more attracted to females with a bigger and rounder butt. Unfortunately, not everybody has the genetics to meet this particular feature. It’s no wonder that several women have ventured to other procedures to help them achieve a curvier silhouette.
For some women, plastic surgery is an option to achieve what they were not naturally blessed with. A popular method of buttock augmentation surgery is the Brazilian Butt Lift.
What are the perks of this new trend?
The Brazilian butt lift surgery offers a more natural and personal take on achieving a bigger and rounder butt. This procedure focuses mainly on the upper quadrants of the butt, giving its overall shape a higher, fuller contour. To do this, fat grafts are taken from the patient, either by liposuction or micro fat injection technique. These fat grafts are then incorporated into several levels of the butt until the desired contour is achieved.
How does the fat graft work?
The droplets of fat used to shape the butt comes from the patient’s thighs, abdomen, or the butt itself. These are then injected into the butt, especially in places where they can get sufficient blood supply for their nourishment. The fat cells introduced need to survive until they receive blood supply and once that happens, the results are said to last for the patient’s lifetime. It has been found that at least 70% of the fat grafts survive in their new position.
Why is it better than using gluteal implants?
Gluteal implants may present complications years after the surgery because the implants, which are foreign to the patient’s body, may not incorporate well with the butt tissues. The use of silicone implants can look obviously fake – using your own fat gives a more natural look. With the Brazilian butt lift surgery, the fat grafts are long-term. Recovery is short, averaging 5 days, and the side effects are minimal and short-term.
