Brazilian Butt Lift Versus Gluteal Implants? Which Lasts Longer

My midsection is my problem area whether I loose weight or not; I will still have a larger upper portion as compared to my lower half.I'm wanting to enhance my derrier as well as adding more width to my hips. I'm seriously considering some type of buttock agumentation, but I'm torn between the Brazilian Butt Lift or implants. I have been told that the BBL doesn't have a lasting effect vs implants, and would like to know which one would benefit me.

The Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective technique that can improve the contour of your bottom and create a beautiful result.

But, when it is done right, whatever fat survives should be there forever. I have seen patients of mine 8-10 years after... more

Brazilian Butt Lift Results are Long Lasting and Natural

Hi there- When performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with a lot of experience doing the procedure, the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift should be long lasting/permanent, and so for good candidates this would represent a better option than implants, which do not feel or look as natural and will need to be replaced from time to time.

Implants or Brazilian Butt Lift

The best way to determine which procedure is best for you would be to schedule a consult with board certified plastic surgeon. Both procedures can be long lasting. Fat augmentation can be long lasting if your weight remains stable. Implants never change but the tissue surrounding the implant can change through fluctuating weight. Dr. ES
