Buttock augmentation is one of the most popular aesthetic treatment trends of the last decade. The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is an extremely popular procedure for augmentation and aims to shape the buttocks by obtaining fat from other areas of the body through liposuction and reinjecting it into the lower back and loins.
However, it has become a controversial procedure due to high reports of complication rates and the highest death rate of all cosmetic surgery procedures. Dermal fillers can be a suitable alternative for patients seeking to enhance this area. However, the search for alternative methods has recently led to hyaluronic acid (HA) based products being designed specifically for buttock enhancement.
Non-surgical butt injections involve injectables that are used to add subtle volume to the back-side, build collagen, and help overall skin integrity/elasticity and smooth cellulite. There are many different types of injectables providers may use, but at Dermax our injectors typically use the following:
Macrolite Pro, which is a type of injectable that is of often composed of hyaluronic acid is injected beneath the skin to create a fuller and more youthful appearance. Macrolite Pro provides natural results that last up to 14-20 months in most clients.
CHArmacy, which is a dermal filler made of calcium-based microspheres helps to restore subtle volume immediately, while also stimulating collagen. CHArmacy does provide results after one treatment and also stimulates collagen, even after the product is fully absorbed by the body. Results last 12 - 18 mouths after full correction.

There are three most popular shapes for butt lift. These shapes are the curvy, upside-down heart and rounded bubble. The shape you choose should be discussed with you physician to determine if it is the best shape for your body.
If you have more of a square shape (no hips) an upside-down heart shape is more suitable. An upside-down heart shape will add definition to your hips and also curve your buttocks.
If you are V-shaped a rounded bubble shape butt lift will give you the right definition. For V-shaped body types a curvy approach is best. A curvy approach will enhance the hips more giving you the right definition.

Minimally Invasive: One of the main advantages of buttock fillers is that they are minimally invasive. The procedure involves only a few injections, which means less trauma to the body compared to surgical methods.
More safety: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body. Combined with the round tip of the micro-cannula, this treatment minimizes side effects and pain compared to surgical treatments.
Fewer side effects: Injections in the buttocks area with the adapted micro-cannulas allow a quick healing of the body with little trauma. Swelling or bruising may occur, but the single point of entry provided by the cannula minimizes the risk of infection. In comparison, injection with a needle requires several days of healing because the injection technique used requires several entry points. The latter is painful and increases the risk of infection. Also, micro-cannula injections in the buttocks area avoid the need for painkillers or any antibiotic or corticosteroid treatment.
Possible adjustments: The injection procedure and the quantity injected can be adjusted according to the patient’s needs.
Reversibility: In case of patient dissatisfaction, hyaluronic acid can be easily dissolved by hyaluronidase injections.
Temporary Effects: For those hesitant about permanent changes, buttock fillers provide a temporary solution. The effects usually last between one to two years, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolic factors.
Buttock fillers offer a promising alternative for those seeking to enhance their buttocks without undergoing surgery. With benefits such as minimal invasiveness, customizable results, and quick recovery, they have become a popular choice in the field of aesthetic medicine. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is essential to weigh the benefits against the potential risks and to choose a qualified practitioner to ensure the best possible outcome.
