BUTT AUGMENTATION
Butt Augmentation Surgery in Mumbai
Butt augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the use of implants, fat grafting, or a combination of both to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. The procedure is sometimes referred to as a “Brazilian butt lift,” although this term can also refer specifically to the use of fat grafting to augment the buttocks.
In an implant-based butt augmentation, the surgeon places silicone implants into the buttocks to add volume and enhance the shape of the buttocks. Fat grafting involves removing fat from another part of the patient’s body, such as the thighs or abdomen, and injecting it into the buttocks to increase their size and improve their shape.
Ask the Surgeon
Like any surgical procedure, butt augmentation comes with risks, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia-related complications. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon before deciding whether it is right for you.
What are the types of butt augmentation?
Butt augmentation consists of three types:
- Butt implants: Your plastic surgeon inserts silicone implants into your butt to create a fuller shape.
- Brazilian butt lift (BBL): Your plastic surgeon removes fat from one part of your body (liposuction) and injects it into your butt for added volume.
- Butt lift: Your plastic surgeon removes excess skin to lift your butt for a smoother, more toned appearance.
Who is a good candidate for butt augmentation?

What happens before butt augmentation surgery?

What happens during butt augmentation surgery?
Butt augmentation surgery can take two hours or longer. Each butt augmentation surgery involves a different technique:
- Butt implants: Your surgeon makes an incision at the top or bottom of your butt, then inserts the implants inside or below your muscle.
- BBL: Your plastic surgeon removes unwanted fat by liposuction from one or several parts of your body, such as your stomach, hips or back. Then, they inject that fat into areas of your butt, below your skin.
- Butt lift: To pull up excess skin, your plastic surgeon makes an incision in your lower back or hips or below your butt cheeks. Your surgeon then closes the incision with stitches or another technique.
What happens after butt augmentation surgery?
After butt augmentation surgery, you may need to:
- Wait to shower for 24 to 48 hours.
- Sit on a pillow and sleep on your stomach.
- Wear compression garments.
RISKS / BENEFITS
What are the benefits of butt augmentation?
Butt augmentation changes the appearance of your butt, creating a rounder, more youthful shape. Each procedure has different benefits. For example:
- Butt implants are a long-term way to create a shapelier butt for people who don’t have enough fat on their bodies for BBL.
- BBL removes unwanted fat from other parts of your body and has a natural look and feel.
- Butt lifts permanently remove extra loose skin that exercise can’t tighten and create a smoother, less wrinkled surface.
RECOVERY
What is the recovery time for butt augmentation?
Butt augmentation has a long recovery. You may not be able to sleep or sit directly on your butt for up to several weeks. It typically takes a few months to a year to heal completely.
When can I get back to work and other activities?
You may need to wait several weeks to a month before returning to work. It may take more time before you can exercise or perform other strenuous activities.
