If you feel your bottom is small and deflated, butt augmentation through body sculpting may be the solution. Two of the most popular butt augmentation options are the BBL (or Brazilian Butt Lift) and butt implants.

Many confuse the Brazilian butt lift with other augmentation procedures such as butt implants. Butt implants are silicone-filled products placed deep within the tissue of each buttock, while the Brazilian butt lift is a fat transfer procedure.

Core Aesthetics New York focuses on a selection of Signature Procedures, such as our Athletic BBL, enabling us to offer our patients a high level of expertise and experience. Our selection of body contouring procedures lets you show off the curvy, contoured look that best suits your lifestyle and emphasizes your alluring femininity in all the right ways.

What is a BBL?

The Brazilian butt lift procedure starts with liposuction of a donor body site, such as the:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Thighs
  • Back

The fat removed from these areas is injected into the hips and buttocks to improve shape and projection. Because not all injected fat cells will survive long-term, you should minimize the time you sit or put direct pressure on the grafted fat during recovery. After month three, this risk dops, and between months three to six, you should see your refined and curvy final results.

Our Athletic BBL at Core Aesthetics New York provides natural-looking yet noticeable enhancement, boosting your self-confidence while expanding your wardrobe choices. This procedure perfectly complements your fitness-oriented lifestyle and gets the most out of your workouts. 

What are Butt Implants?

Butt implants are artificial devices that are surgically placed into the buttocks through an incision between the cheeks to create volume and enhance the shape of the buttocks. Silicone is the most popular material for butt implants, and the procedure is sometimes combined with fat grafting for maximum results. It takes up to four weeks to recover from buttock surgery.

Implants primarily provide volume, which injections and fat grafting can’t do alone, and are preferable for patients with little fat to inject for a Brazilian butt lift. Liposuction is sometimes used in buttock augmentation procedures to remove excess fat in certain areas of the buttocks, achieving maximum contouring. You may qualify for liposuction with butt implants if you have excess fat on the site, such as from weight loss or aging.

Should I Choose a BBL or Butt Implants?

The goal for both butt augmentation procedures is to give patients the look and shape of their butt that they want, and both give long-term and dramatic results. A BBL is a modern method for smoother, shapelier, and more natural results. Butt implants give rounder and fuller results and offer more shape and size. 

Butt augmentation with implants is a more invasive procedure with larger incisions that require more downtime. A BBL has the added benefit of liposuction in another area. When choosing between a BBL or butt implant for augmentation, consider your personal goals and body type, and work with Core Aesthetics to determine your best option.
