Buttock surgery is very popular in recent times, likely due to the Kardashians and their penchants for Brazilian butt lifts (BBL). As we get older the buttocks sag and the skin can become loose and wrinkly. A traditional buttock lift procedure involves removing a strip of skin and fat at the top of the buttock area to make them more firm and smoother.
A BBL typically involves the liposuction of fat from the tummy or thighs and injecting it into the buttocks to accentuate their curves and make them bigger. In this part of the world, it is not as popular as most women prefer to have smaller buttocks.
Vaser and Renuvion is another newer alternative to a buttock lift. Vaser uses ultrasonic power to liquefy fat and this can reduce the size of the buttocks. The excess skin is then tightened using the Renuvion machine via radiofrequency and the process occurs gradually over 3 months. For buttock lifts, they are all carried out under general anaesthetic and typically require an overnight stay in hospital
