Gluteoplasty vs. Implants: What You Should Know
If you are considering a gluteoplasty, meaning any procedure to increase the buttock's size, you may have also come across the idea of butt implants and the BBL in your research. Although the two procedures are sometimes considered the same, there is an essential difference between them.
BBL uses the body's own fat, which is taken from another part of the body, while butt implants use silicone or saline implants. Many women prefer the BBL procedure over butt implants when picking a gluteoplasty for the following reasons.
BBL Results Look and Feel Natural
In a Brazilian butt lift, liposuction removes unwanted fat from areas such as the hips, waist, or thighs. This fat is injected into the buttocks to create a natural-looking result. Because the procedure uses your fat, you don't have to worry about the limitation of motion that sometimes occurs with implants.
There's a Higher Risk of Complications with Implants
When it comes to movement, buttock implants can move. When the buttocks move, it can prevent them from existing naturally with the rest of the body.
With an implant, there is also a small risk of capsular contracture, in which the implant becomes rigid due to scar tissue that forms around the implant. If complications occur during the insertion of the buttock implant, revision surgery is required.
Women of all Body Types Can Get A BBL
A common misconception is that thin women are not good candidates for a Brazilian buttock lift. Finding the right fat to take from other parts of the body can be much easier than some people think.
Sometimes there is so much fat in areas like the lower back and hips that even skinny women can achieve excellent BBL results. Still, know that there is a natural limitation for very thing women seeking a significant augmentation.
