Question

I have seen High Intensity Electromagnetic Therapy advertisements to build butt muscle to make it larger and firmer. I do not see it any where listed in real self. Is this a real procedure!

Geuris Cruz Quiroz, MD · Answer

Thank you so much for your question. A procedure that is not endorsed by the plastic surgery society I am sure cannot be safe or reliable. The only non-invasive procedure that can help you build firm muscles without a doubt would be an exercise routine, if you are looking for procedures like BBL you should keep in mind that a large amount of fat will be transferred and that you will need an exercise routine as well, to create a balance between muscles and fat in the area. When you want to perform non-invasive or invasive procedures, always look for professionals in the area who can assist you at the time of any doubt or complication of the procedure.

Hope this helps.

Hello KWAREHIME,
Thank you for your question about high-intensity electromagnetic therapy for building buttock muscle. This technology, which involves electrically stimulating the gluteus maximus muscle to induce contractions and potentially build muscle mass, has been explored by plastic surgeons for years.
While this technology has been around for over 50 years, its effectiveness in significantly building muscle mass for aesthetic purposes remains a subject of debate. It's often used in muscle rehabilitation, but when it comes to building body muscle mass, traditional exercises like squats and using the stairmaster are generally more effective. These exercises are known to build buttock muscle more efficiently than high-intensity electromagnetic therapy.
In conclusion, while high-intensity electromagnetic therapy is a real procedure and can be beneficial for certain applications, especially in rehabilitation, traditional physical exercises remain the most reliable method for building muscle mass in the buttocks for aesthetic improvement.
I hope this clarifies your query about high-intensity electromagnetic therapy and its effectiveness in building buttock muscle. Good luck with your fitness journey!
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

I suggest you stick with having consultations with those who have the most formal and authoritative training which are going to be board-certified plastic surgeons.
There are no nonsurgical options that give impressive results for gluteal augmentation or enhancement.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
