Butt Augmentation
Buttock Augmentation in Los Angeles & Las Vegas
Men and women who are unhappy with the appearance of their buttocks may benefit from cosmetic surgery including augmention of the buttocks. There are two methods to achieve a fuller buttock contour – implants, fat injections or a combination of the two.
If implants are used for augmentation, they may be placed underneath the gluteal muscles through a small incision in the crease in the buttocks. Buttock implants are not at all like the implants used for breasts. Instead of a silicone shell filled with sterile saline or gel, buttock implants are made of soft but solid silicone molded into appropriate shapes and available in a number of sizes and shapes.
If fat injections are selected for a buttock augmentation, your procedure will begin with removal of your own fat, using a suction device or syringe, from a selected donor site. Usually, a combination of several donor sites is needed to provide sufficient fat. Common sites include the abdomen, waist, hips, flanks, and thighs. After being processed, the fat is injected into the buttocks. Because a certain amount of the injected fat will be resorbed, an overcorrection may be necessary in the fat injection areas. This means that your initial results may likely appear greater than you desire, but with the aim of achieving a final result that meets your expectations.

Cost of BBL Surgery

Given you’ll be spending a lot of money to get the butt of your dreams, it’s best to have your BBL done by a professional you can trust.

What Factors Affect the Costs of Getting a BBL?
- Combining Cosmetic Procedures
Some people prefer having multiple cosmetic procedures done simultaneously to drive down costs, and also to save on time. If you’re having a BBL done alongside liposuction or other procedures, this will affect your overall costs tremendously.
- Amount of Fat Transfer
How big do you want to go? The volume of the buttocks you’re aiming for will impact your cost as it will determine how much fat you need to be transferred.
Gone are the days where less is more when it comes to one’s derriere. Thanks to the influence of curvy celebrities like Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian, a lot of people have aspired to have a fuller butt. Hence, Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) have become a popular request among cosmetic procedures. Basically, BBL uses a combination of liposuction and fat-grafting, resulting in added volume, defined curves, and a lift.
