- Buttock augmentation
There are two types of buttock augmentation:
* The lifting of the buttocks.
* The surgical enlargement of the
buttocks through the insertion of a moulded synthetic implant or through the use of substances such aselastomer .Brazilian butt lift
The most common type of shape-modifying injections to the bottom is the "Brazilian butt lift", although the procedure is also called fat injections,
fat transfer , or fat grafting. It usually consists of a combination ofliposuction around the buttocks and many injections of fat into the buttocks. The fat is harvested by liposuction from the patient's buttocks, abdomen or elsewhere. The fat is processed and purified before it is reinjected. Depending on the amount of augmentation needed, the patient may need to undergo a significant number of injections, which are made at various sites and depths in the buttocks.Implants
Buttock implants are "stronger than
breast implant s" and made of anelastomer that cannot leak. Implants are placed using a small incision atop of the muscles above the sitting area and below the surroundingfascia to secure them. A previous technique of intermuscular augmentation only augmented the upper third of the buttocks whereas implants can address the entire area. The incisionscar will normally heal such that it is barely visible by approximately one year after surgery.In some countries, it is permissible for buttock augmentation to be done using beads of
acrylic glass that are injected in much the same way as fat obtained by liposuction.Transgender
Surgical buttock augmentation is sometimes performed on transsexual and
transgender women who wish to have more feminine buttocks. Genetically women's bodies typically have a more pronounced curve of the hips than transgender women, so the goal is to create a more feminine body shape. This type of surgery is sometimes also referred to as "hip augmentation" [ [http://www.citypaper.net/articles/041698/mi.gayclubs.shtml Outrageous ] ] or "hip enlargement" [ [http://www.genderandhealth.ca/en/modules/sexandsexuality/gss-transgendered-issues-03.jsp Male-to-Female Transsexuals ] ] . This surgery may take the place of the usage ofhip and buttock padding .References
