BUTT LIFT

ADD FULLNESS AND ENHANCE THE CONTOURS OF THE BUTTOCKS IN WESTFIELD, NJ

There are many factors that can contribute to a flat butt, such as normal aging, lifestyle choices, activities that cause you to sit for extended periods of time, weakened buttock muscles, genetics, and more. Heredity has a major impact on your skeletal structure and the way your body stores fat. That’s why, even if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and tone your muscles, you can still have a “flat” or shapeless butt that nothing seems to change. In recent years, however, a growing number of people are desiring larger butts and using plastic surgery to achieve this look. Moreover, the shape and proportions of the buttocks play a major role in the overall attractiveness of your body. A butt lift at NJ’s Burnett Plastic Surgery, also known as “BBL surgery,” is a procedure that involves the transfer of fat as a way of improving the contours of the buttocks.

WHAT IS A BUTT LIFT OR ENHANCEMENT VIA FAT GRAFTING?

Googling “BBL near me” will bring up plenty of information about the procedure, but the number of results can be overwhelming or daunting for patients who are new to the idea.

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) improves the appearance of the buttocks without the use of implants. Dr. Carlos Burnett uses liposuction to remove fat from another area of your body, then injects this fat into the butt area. The goal is to make the butt larger while slimming and contouring other areas of the body where the excess fat was taken.

To get a better idea of what to expect, you can view BBL before and after photos in our photo gallery. Our team can also explain more about BBL price, the procedure itself, and other details. If you hope to achieve more subtle curves, you may be interested in a skinny BBL.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION WITH FAT TRANSFER AND A TRADITIONAL BUTT LIFT?

Buttock augmentation, also known as a Brazilian butt lift, is not the same thing as a gluteal lift. A Brazilian butt lift is designed for enhancing the contour, size, and shape of the buttocks. It involves transferring fat from another area of the body to the buttocks as a way of improving roundness and projection. Although it’s called a “butt lift,” this procedure doesn’t involve removing excess skin and repositioning sagging tissue, like a facelift would.

A traditional butt lift or gluteal lift does focus on sagging skin on the buttocks due to weight fluctuations, aging, sun damage, pregnancy, or other causes. It includes the removal of excess skin and fat as a way of creating a smoother looking, more toned surface—but it will not make the buttocks bigger.

Some patients are interested in injections, such as Sculptra^® for the buttocks. Dr. Burnett does not perform these treatments for a variety of reasons.

WHICH COSMETIC SURGERY TECHNIQUES ENHANCE YOUR BODY SHAPE ASIDE FROM A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?

Burnett Plastic Surgery is well known for body contouring procedures, including combining a Brazilian butt lift with liposuction of the waist and flanks area to improve overall body shape. This can help you achieve a more hourglass-shaped figure.

We also offer a wide range of surgical procedures to sculpt other features, including treatments for the face, breasts, abdominal area, and more. A tummy tuck removes stretched skin, tightens weakened muscles, and reduces excess fat on the stomach area. For patients who want to add volume to the breasts for a more proportional, balanced figure, breast augmentation with implants is an option to consider. Liposuction can be done on its own for patients who simply want to reduce stubborn fat from select areas.

Patients who want to restore their pre-pregnancy body shape after having a baby or target several areas that may have been affected by weight fluctuations or aging may benefit from a Mommy Makeover. This includes a combination of surgical procedures that usually will consist of some type of breast surgery and a tummy tuck.

Patients who want to enhance the buttocks area may also be considering a non-surgical BBL such as BBL injections, also known as BBL fillers or a Sculptra^® BBL treatment. These options enhance the shape and curve of the butt with biostimulatory injections that kickstart the production of collagen in the skin, but the results are not as dramatic or noticeable. BBL implants are silicone objects that are placed in the buttocks to augment the area, but this strategy comes with more potential for complications. If you want added volume in your buttocks, discuss your goals with Dr. Burnett, who can give you the advice and guidance you need to safely get beautiful results.
