In recent years, buttock augmentation has become increasingly popular as more individuals seek to achieve a fuller, more contoured appearance. Among the various methods available, butt injections using fillers have emerged as a popular, non-surgical option.
Butt injections, also known as dermal fillers, are a cosmetic procedure that uses injections to add volume or shape to the buttocks. The most common fillers used are hyaluronic acid (HA) and Macrolite Pro. The goal of these injections is to create a natural-looking enhancement that complements the patient's existing curves.
Dermal fillers are injected into the skin by a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist. The exact ingredients vary by brand, but they all work to help create volume in the skin. Some fillers, can also improve the body's natural collagen production.
The fact that butt injections don’t require anesthesia them apart from fat grafting or implants. You will notice a smoother and more contoured backside as soon as the procedure is done.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth the lines, and soften creases or enhance contours. For people who do not have enough fat to go for BBL or want an off-the-shelf alternative, butt fillers are another option for buttock enhancement. However, these fillers provide a less permanent result and are more expensive as they require maintenance treatment sessions to ensure their effects last a long time.
Using dermal fillers can prove to be a long as well as expensive treatment as 8-10 vials are needed before results are visible. In addition, dermal fillers are not a long-term solution. The results of a dermal filler lift only last for 12 - 18 months.
There isn’t much preparation needed for buttock augmentation with dermal fillers, but initial consultation is required. This allows the plastic surgeon or aesthetician to evaluate if the patient is qualified for the treatment. During the consultation, it’s also important to discuss the patient’s expected results to find out which treatment areas should be injected and how many vials of body filler injections are needed.
When the patient arrives on the day of the appointment, they’re asked to change into a hospital gown and then lay on their stomach. The injection site is sterilized to reduce the risk of infection before the filler is administered into the target areas, such as the buttocks and gluteal area.
The entire procedure only takes less than an hour to complete. The injection sites are bandaged after all butt lift injections are administered. Patients may change into their usual clothes and return home to rest after some aftercare reminders by the provider.
Hyaluronic acid treatment for the buttocks area in combination with the cozysculpt micro-cannula has many advantages, both for the aesthetic doctor and the patient. the advantages of fillers include:
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.
The results of your hyaluronic acid butt lift are immediate and require a minimal recovery period. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and intense heat for a couple of weeks after your treatment. During this time, the HA filler will continue to settle and add volume to your buttocks. Your resulting beautiful curves and perky backside can last for up to 12 - 18 months with occasional touch-ups.
