Surgical vs. Non-surgical Butt Lift Comparison

 

A butt lift adds volume and heft to a patient’s behind. The effects of these powerful procedures cannot be denied, which has made them quite popular in recent years for those looking to enhance the appearance of their butts.

 

However, many people are unfamiliar with the fact that there are multiple types of butt lifts. Those that are performed surgically offer very different results than those that are done non-surgically.

 

Surgical vs. Non-surgical Butt Lift Comparison

If you're interested in receiving this type of treatment but are unsure which type would ultimately benefit you, here’s an overview that compares and contrasts these two approaches to a butt lift.

 

The General Benefits of A Butt Lift

 

There are many benefits that come along with both types of butt lifts. Some of the most commonly reported ones include:

 

• Significantly enhanced curves
• A more attractive, youthful, and aesthetically pleasing appearance
• A more balanced set of physical proportions
• A rectified solution to flat, sagging, or uneven butt cheek sizes
• Greatly enhanced curves

 

These are the types of benefits that are available to patients who receive either type of butt lift. Many of these benefits will last for quite a long time.

 

BBL Procedure

 

A BBL, or Brazilian butt lift, is a surgical procedure where a physician transfers fat from one area of the body where there is excess fat to the butt.

 

A BBL is renowned for its ability to produce very “natural-looking” results. These results appear this way due to the fact that the enhancements being made are done with the body’s own fat and not with silicon implants. The latter tend to appear more artificial.

 

BBL’s can take some time to fully produce their full effects. Many patients will need to wait approximately 3-6 months to enjoy the full results of their procedure.

 

Brazilian butt lifts offer stunning results but come with their own set of complications. This is the case with most major surgical procedures. In the case of a BBL, you will have to endure a significant recovery period, as well as follow the post-surgical instructions of your physician.

 

Brazilian butt lifts can also be somewhat hazardous due to the possibility of a condition known as fat embolism. This is where errant fat accidentally gets into the bloodstream. Although rare when the procedure is performed by a trained physician, it can quickly become a medical emergency.

 

Non-Surgical Butt Lift

 

A non-surgical butt lift utilizes dermal fillers rather than fat injections to produce it’s results. Aside from tese types of fillers, there are several other varieties of non-surgical options. Some of the primary ones include:

 

• Sculpsure: Sculpsure is a name for a type of noninvasive body contouring. A Sculpsure treatment can modify the fat presence in the butt, moving it from areas where we don’t want it to be to ones where we do. Sculpsure has the added advantage of producing results that show themselves in a short period of time: 6-12 weeks.
• Radiesse: Radiesse is another type of dermal filler that is administered once every 4 weeks. Results are often seen after the first 2 treatments. Radiesse results are often perceived after about 5 years. Radiesse is admired for its quick-acting results.
• Vacuum Therapy: This type of therapy uses a type of safe suctioning of the skin and fat of the butt. This suctioning is combined with ultrasound waves that break down the fat deposits of the butt and stimulate collagen and elastin production.

 

Knowing the options that are available is just half of the process to making a decision about your own procedure. The next step is deciding which one will be best for your personal situation.

 

Which One Is Right For Me?

 

Determining which kind of procedure is best for you is a complex process. Much is determined by your set of personal preferences, as well as the advice administered by your physician regarding your personal situation.

 

You’ll be able to talk with your physician about which type of procedure would work best for you in your pre-surgical consultation. This will be scheduled by you with your doctor prior to receiving any kind of medical treatment.
