What surgery makes your bum bigger?

The surgery that makes your bum bigger is called buttock augmentation or gluteal augmentation.

Understanding Buttock Augmentation

Buttock augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks. According to the information provided, there are a few primary methods used to achieve this:

• Fat Grafting (Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL): This technique involves taking fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and injecting it into the buttocks to increase volume and improve shape.
• Silicone Implants: Silicone implants are surgically placed within the buttocks to increase size and projection.
• Combination Techniques: In some cases, a combination of fat grafting and silicone implants may be used to achieve the desired results.

Types of Buttock Augmentation Procedures

Here's a more detailed breakdown of each method:

Fat Grafting (Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL)

1. Liposuction: Fat is harvested from areas of the body with excess fat using liposuction.
2. Fat Processing: The harvested fat is purified and prepared for injection.
3. Injection: The processed fat is then carefully injected into the buttocks to create the desired shape and size.

* **Advantages:** Uses the patient's own fat, resulting in a more natural look and feel. * **Disadvantages:** The results can be unpredictable as a percentage of the grafted fat may not survive, and multiple procedures may be needed.

Silicone Implants

1. Incisions: Incisions are made in the crease of the buttocks or other less noticeable areas.
2. Implant Placement: Silicone implants are inserted into pockets created in the muscle or under the fascia.
3. Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures.

• Advantages: Provides a more consistent and predictable increase in volume.
• Disadvantages: Requires surgery and may have a higher risk of complications such as implant displacement, infection, or capsular contracture.

Combination Approach

• In some cases surgeons may use a combination of both implants and fat grafting, for the best results.

Choosing the Right Procedure

The best procedure for an individual depends on several factors including:

• The desired size increase.
• Individual body shape.
• Personal preferences.
• The surgeon's recommendations.

It's essential to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to determine the most suitable option and understand the risks and benefits of each procedure.
