Butt augmentation (or butt implants) is a general term that describes surgery to enhance the appearance of one's butt. Whether the desired effect is firmness, changed shape, or changed size, butt augmentation surgery can accomplish this. The surgery is generally simple, fast, and uncomplicated. Most plastic surgery practices will do it. It is unlikely to be covered by standard insurance unless it is being done to correct a defect or injury, but even then you should consult with your insurance provider first.
There are two types of buttock augmentation:
Implant surgery where an actual synthetic implant is added that changes the appearance of the area
And
Injections of substances that also change the fullness or shape. Substances injected include silicone.
Both of these procedures can also smooth wrinkles and reduce areas of cellulite. However, each is different and one may be more fitting for your unique needs and desires.
The most famous type of butt-modifying injections are Brazilian Butt Lifts. This procedure, also called fat injections, fat transfer, or fat grafting is exactly what those alternatives suggest. Often fat is removed from one of more areas, and redeposited in others to change the shape of the butt. This is a relatively natural process, as the fat is your own fat that taken from your butt or elsewhere.
Butt implants involve the surgical insertion of artificial implants into the buttocks that change either its size, shape, or proportion. These implants can give definition where there once was none and generally improve the appearance of the area.
People who go through butt augmentation surgery enhance both their appearance and their self-esteem and self-confidence. Butt implant and injection surgery have become increasingly popular for many women, and even some men.
As with any surgery, you must consider many factors, such as your overall health, the short- and long-term consequences of the surgery, the cost and benefits, etc. It is vital that you discuss this with your general medical practitioner, a qualified plastic surgeon, and your family.
