Butt Augmentation Nj

Buttocks augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks. This can be achieved through various methods, including fat transfer (commonly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift), silicone implants, or non-surgical options like injectable fillers.

The primary methods for buttocks augmentation include:

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Involves liposuction to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks.

Buttock Implants: Surgical insertion of silicone implants to add volume and shape.

Non-Surgical Augmentation: Use of injectable fillers, such as Sculptra, to enhance buttock appearance without surgery.

When performed by Dr. Zubowski at The Robert Zubowski, MD Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, buttocks augmentation is generally safe. However, procedures like the BBL have been associated with higher risks, including fat embolism. Advancements in techniques and adherence to safety protocols have significantly improved outcomes.

Ideal candidates for a BBL are individuals with sufficient fat deposits in areas like the abdomen or thighs, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the results. Those with minimal body fat may be better suited for implants or non-surgical options.

Recovery varies based on the procedure:

BBL: Patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks. Full recovery typically takes up to eight weeks.

Non-Surgical: Minimal downtime, with most individuals returning to daily activities shortly after the procedure.

The longevity of results depends on the method:

BBL: Results can last several years, but some fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time.

Implants: Typically last 10-15 years, after which replacement may be necessary.

Non-Surgical: Results are temporary, often requiring maintenance treatments every couple of years.

Potential risks include infection, scarring, asymmetry, and in the case of BBL, fat embolism. Selecting Dr. Zubowski as your surgeon and following post-operative care instructions can minimize these risks.

Yes, many patients opt to combine buttocks augmentation with procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, or thigh lifts to achieve a more comprehensive body contouring effect.

Most surgeons recommend harvesting at least 500 to 1000 cc of fat per buttock, which typically requires liposuction from multiple areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. Patients with lower body fat may need to gain weight or consider alternative procedures such as implants.

Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activity and exercise for four to six weeks post-surgery. Light walking is encouraged early on to promote circulation and healing. Always get clearance from Dr. Zubowski before resuming your full workout routine.
