Do I Need Butt Implants or a Natural Butt Lift?

More and more people are becoming concerned with the appearance of their backsides – there are tons of fad workouts and infomercials aimed at helping you get a rounder and firmer butt.  But what do you do when no diet trend or new exercise routine helps you get a lifted backside? Cosmetic plastic surgery helps patients achieve the results they want. There are options available that you may have heard of – such as butt implants and the Brazilian butt lift.

Here’s what you need to know about each back-side-enhancing cosmetic treatment:

Brazilian Butt Lifts are Good for Sculpting and Lifting

What makes a Brazilian butt lift so natural is the use of your body’s own fat to help shape your backside. A plastic surgeon uses liposuction techniques to remove fat from other parts of your body, such as your midsection, and then purifies those cells to be injected into each side of your posterior.  While patients who are looking for both a leaner stomach and a rounder butt are perfect candidates for this treatment, there are instances where a Brazilian butt lift is not the recommended procedure.

Butt Implants are Better Choices for Patients who Don’t Have Fat Deposits

Patients who are generally lean are not ideal candidates for the Brazilian butt lift, as there are no areas of fat buildup to use as donor sites for re-injection.  In this instance, butt implants are typically the recommended course of action. Your cosmetic surgeon will help you pick the right size and shape of the implant to help you get a lifted and rounded appearance.  While Brazilian butt lifts use natural material to help firm your backside, it’s still possible to get a rounder butt without liposuction.
At Kung Plastic Surgery, we are happy to offer patients the benefits of natural butt lift treatment with the Brazilian butt lift. If you are interested in getting a rounder and firmer backside, we can help.

Even if you are not an ideal candidate for a natural butt lift, Dr. Kung will create a treatment plan that helps you achieve your desired results. Contact our office for your consultation or to speak to a member of our team about your cosmetic treatment options.

What’s Recovery Like after Getting Breast Implants?

The idea of undergoing surgery to help achieve your cosmetic goals can be intimidating, especially when you don’t know what to expect. If you’re considering breast augmentation, our office helps you get comfortable care by setting up the right expectations for post-surgical care.

During recovery from breast implant surgery, you can expect the following:

• When you leave the hospital after treatment (an overnight stay is typically not required) you’ll be wearing supporting dressings – usually gauze wrappings – that protect the incision site and support your breasts.
  
• You’ll experience swelling and discomfort after treatment, as with most surgical procedures, however these can be easily managed with over-the-counter medication. Speak to your plastic surgeon to find out which medications are recommended, as well as guidance for proper dosage.
• Support garments, like surgical bras, will need to be worn for several weeks to help promote natural healing and ensure ideal results.
• Be sure to keep the incision site clean and use any topical medication that is provided by your plastic surgeon.
• A period of rest is required immediately after surgery – about two days – to help you heal. After, make sure you limit physical activity for the next several weeks, delaying more strenuous activity (such as carrying or lifting heavy objects) for about six weeks.
• Post-treatment scarring can be minimal, depending on the site. These scars will become lighter and fainter over time. You can even use topical treatments to help fade scars, if necessary.
• Some women experience changes in sensitivity after treatment, but this is affected by the incision site, as well as the positioning of the implant. If you are concerned about visible scarring or breast sensitivity, talk to your doctor to go over options for placement.
