Comparing Butt Augmentation Options For Residents in Philadelphia

In recent years, Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL) have been criticized for the number of complications fueled by the procedure's rapid popularity and unscrupulous surgeons. Studies have shown that these safety problems are partly due to improper and unsafe injection methods. Fortunately, most licensed plastic surgeons today know the best injection procedures to avoid these complications. Additionally, there are several variants of the BBL that can now guarantee patients with optimal results.

Traditional Liposuction-Based Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL)

A Brazilian butt lift appropriately performed by an experienced plastic surgeon is a safe and effective procedure. While the techniques used are still invasive, results should be predictable and, for the most part, safe.

A traditional liposuction-based BBL involves taking fat from another part of the body, such as the waist, hips, back, or thighs, and injecting healthy fat cells into the back of the body to create the desired fullness. 

Patients considering this procedure should have a sufficient amount of excess fat for transfer; otherwise, a better alternative is recommended. The treatment gives a more natural-looking result because the patient uses fat.

Compared to silicone implants, a BBL has a significantly lower rejection rate because no foreign bodies are introduced into the body. In addition, patients can achieve a slimmer shape that complements their enhanced buttocks because fat is removed from unwanted areas.

A Butt Lift With Sculptra

Injectable technology has given us various fillers with different use cases. Sculptra is a procedure chosen by several patients because it is non-surgical and requires almost no downtime, so most patients resume normal activities shortly after injections.

After injections with Sculptra, you will see an immediate improvement in buttocks and contours and a gradual, cumulative improvement in skin firmness and shape. Yet, it's important to note that these results are subtle and not dramatic.

Sculptra consists of poly-L-lactic acid, which promotes collagen growth in the skin, leading to these ever-improving results. A set of injections lasts about two years; two injection sessions are recommended for most patients. However, you decide how often and when to return for 

additional treatments, so you control the extent of your buttock lift.
