Buttock Lift
With the help of buttock lift, buttocks are re-crafted and shape is enhanced, more fat is added if necessary or soared areas are removed as caused by aging. Buttock lift is performed by two ways, fat grafting or buttock implants.
Fat Grafting: In fat grafting procedure, fat is taken from other parts of the body by the method of liposuction and re-injected in the patient’s buttocks. The person that does not have sufficient fat to be grafted from other parts or need more muscular appearance is advised to use buttock implants. The fat could be taken from flanks, back, thighs, abdomen or arms. In this method, the fat which is newly transferred must get some blood circulation aka blood vascularity. Otherwise the tissues will die and absorbed by the body. For this reason, tiny fat droplets are injected near small blood vessels.
Buttock Implants: Buttock implants are also used for buttock augmentation. A solid silicone implant or a softer form of cohesive silicone, enclosed in bags may be used. With cohesive silicone implants, the results obtain are more natural and low risk of leakage is observed. With the solid form of silicone implants, the buttock becomes more firm and no risk of wear and tear is encountered. In both the cases, implants are placed between fascia (the connective tissue covering the muscle) and the muscle itself.

Patients that get fat grafting procedure may resume the normal activities after about 3 weeks. The buttock implant procedure take more curing time and care. These patients may need 2 to 3 months to completely return to normal life.
