Buttock Augmentation, more commonly referred to as a “Butt Lift”, uses implants, fat grafting or sometimes a combination of both to increase the size of your buttocks. A current popular procedure, referred to as a “Brazilian Butt Lift”, uses fat transferred from other areas of the body to naturally augment and shape the buttocks. This procedure can increase fullness and roundness of your buttock, improve the balance of your figure, and enhance your self-confidence. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and complications to be considered. Cosmetic surgery complications insurance from Aesthetisure was created to assist patients that have the unfortunate reality of sustaining potential complications.
Buttock Augmentation/Lift Considerations
The decision to have a Butt Lift is very personal. Should you elect to undergo this procedure and dependent on the technique your Board Certified surgeon recommends, the following are risks and complications to be considered:
- Your Butt Lift results will be immediately visible. However, dependent on the technique used, it could take up to a year to see the final result
- Incision lines are permanent, but will continue to fade over time
- Buttock augmentation surgery results are long lasting. However, due to aging and gravity, the initial size and shape of your buttock are subject to change. Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle will help you retain your new look longer
- Potential risks associated with Buttock Augmentation include, but are not limited to the following:
- Anesthesia Risks
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Nerve damage
- Scaring
- Pressure on your sciatic nerve
- Excessive blood loss
- DVT (deep vein thrombosis), cardiac and pulmonary complications
- Numbness and pain
- Asymmetry
- Stretch marks
- Possibility of revisional surgery
- Opening of the implant incisions, requiring removal
- Implant rupture
- Implant migration
To better understand the potential risks and complications associated with Buttock Augmentation/Lift, please consult with a Board Certified surgeon.
