During buttock augmentation, the type of anesthesia used typically depends on the specific technique and extent of the procedure.

However, your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, individual needs, and preferences to determine the most suitable anesthesia option for you. They will discuss this with you during your consultation, providing you with detailed information and addressing any concerns you may have.

Can I get a buttock lift without implants or fat transfer?
Yes, it is possible to undergo a buttock lift without implants or fat transfer. A buttock lift, also known as a gluteal lift, focuses on reshaping and tightening the buttocks by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissues. This procedure can help achieve a more lifted and youthful appearance without the use of implants or fat transfer. During a consultation, your plastic surgeon will assess your specific needs and goals, guiding you towards the most suitable treatment option.

What is the difference between a traditional butt lift and buttock augmentation?
When it comes to enhancing the appearance of your buttocks, it’s essential to understand the difference between a traditional butt lift and buttock augmentation. A traditional butt lift primarily focuses on lifting and reshaping sagging or drooping buttocks by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues. On the other hand, buttock augmentation aims to enhance the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks using implants or fat transfer techniques to add volume and create a more shapely appearance. During a consultation, your surgeon will assess your unique needs and goals, guiding you towards the most suitable procedure for achieving your desired results.

Will I have drains after buttock augmentation surgery?
In most cases, drains are not necessary after buttock augmentation surgery. However, every patient’s situation is unique, and your plastic surgeon will determine the need for drains based on factors such as the extent of the surgery and your individual healing process. They will provide you with specific instructions regarding drains and post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Can buttock augmentation correct sagging or drooping buttocks?
Buttock augmentation can improve the shape and volume of the buttocks but may not directly address significant sagging or drooping. In cases where there is excess skin or significant sagging, a combination of procedures such as a buttock lift or thigh lift may be more appropriate to achieve the desired results. It is essential to have a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns and goals and determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Following buttock augmentation surgery, it is typically recommended to avoid direct pressure on the buttocks while sleeping for the first few weeks. This often involves sleeping on your side or stomach and using pillows or cushions to support and elevate the buttocks.
