Hello Tashavvv, I appreciate your questions! I would recommend you getting a VASER Liposuction with fat transfer to the hips and buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). BBL is proven to be a safer procedure in comparison with implants. In fact, patients who have implants can experience pain and infection, and have trouble sitting on their buttocks for a longer period of time. Moreover, implant patients are more likely to develop seromas (lumps caused by an accumulation of serum within the tissue), and experience dehiscence and capsular contracture. Also, since BBL utilizes autologous fat (fat from your own body), the chance of allergic reactions to foreign substances, such as dermal fillers and implants, are reduced and the results are longer lasting. Recovery is also better with buttocks augmentation with fat grafting. BBL’s patients can usually return to work one week after surgery, as opposed to those who receive buttock and/or hips implants and would need at least two weeks to resume their regular activities. One of the main considerations when evaluating a patients’ candidacy for BBL surgery is whether they have enough fat stored in their body so the surgeon can harvest enough fat cells to use during the fat transfer phase. For patients with insufficient fat deposits, the doctor may advice weight gain before the BBL to qualify for the procedure. Set up an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to assess your candidacy for BBL surgery based on your age, skin laxity, health status, BMI and body shape, among other factors. Truthfully yours, Dr. De La Cruz.
