In recent years, large butts have grown in popularity (and in size). The size of people’s butts has increased with the rise in social media and body culture, particularly after Kim Kardashian’s fame, followed closely by Kylie Jenner’s success. The Kardashian family as well as many other famous celebrities and social media influencers are well-known for not only their big butts but cosmetic procedures in general, which has also opened doors for many other people to feel more comfortable with getting some extra work done to feel good about themselves. The number of non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures has increased exponentially in the United States over the past decade, as slowly but surely, many of the cosmetic procedure results that used to be attainable only through surgical intervention are now accomplishable through minimally and even noninvasive medical procedures. Dr. Schwarzburg is a New York-based expert in laser medicine and cosmetic surgery, particularly specializing in minimally invasive treatments at his cosmetic surgery center, Skinly Aesthetics, located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. He and many more cosmetic practitioners offer various minimally invasive treatments to allow their patients to forgo the hassle of surgical procedures. Surgical procedures can be just as effective but because they do require surgical intervention, they also have additional risks and downtime. Below is a brief description of minimally invasive treatments that can work as an alternative to a surgical butt lift, if you are looking to avoid surgery to get the booty that you want.
Since the 1960s, butt surgeries have been in existence and are growing (literally and metaphorically). After some trial and error, silicone breast implants were placed into the buttocks of patients, which turned out to be less flattering than originally planned. These implants were later converted to more suitable butt implants to make a more appropriate prosthetic. They were initially placed above the muscle, but surgeons had limited success. Submuscular gluteoplastia was developed and intramuscular butt implant designs were created. The implant was then placed under the muscle for a much more fitting and more attractive-looking butt implant. In the 1980s, fat grafting to your buttocks was popularized by Dr. Ivo Pitanguy (a Brazilian plastic surgeon) who created the Brazilian Butt Lift. This procedure involves the extraction of fat from another part of the body (typically the abdomen, arms, and thighs). The harvested fat is then injected into the buttocks for a larger and more lifted backside. While this procedure is still very popular, keep in mind that it does require surgical intervention in order to harvest the fat which is to be injected into the buttocks for your lift. You will need to recover from liposuction and the actual butt injection after your procedure, which can take up to two weeks. The Brazilian Butt Lift has some side effects and risks. While a BBL does come with an array of possible risks and side effects just like any other surgical procedure, it is a well-researched and very frequently administered treatment that is extremely popular to increase the size of a patient’s buttocks.

In 2004, the FDA approved a safer and minimally invasive version of the BBL, which was named the Sculptra Butt Lift. Sculptra injectable filler is made of Poly-l lactic acid, sterile liquid, and lidocaine. Sculptra, a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer, is naturally found in the human body, making it generally less invasive and at lower risk for infection treatment for a butt lift. The administering physician can mix the solution in different ways depending on the needs and desired outcome of the patient. The Sculptra buttlift works by stimulating your body’s collagen production. This extra collagen then wraps around any particles that the body would naturally break down, eventually growing the treatment area in 1.5-2 months. The usual dose is 8-12 vials per session, which varies from person to person depending on the result that the patient is trying to achieve, as well as the original starting point of the size of their buttocks. However, many people end up with up to 60 vials in a matter of months to increase their buttocks in size, since it takes 1 – 2 months to see results, making the entire process a gradual one. Side effects and risks associated with Sculptra are rare and easily treated. Side effects and risks include redness, swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Sculptra is also able to be injected into the skin in the face, including the cheeks, and under the eyes. It was initially used to fill in hollow areas on the faces of HIV AIDS-positive patients due to lipoatrophy in the facial tissue (loss or excess fat). The Sculptra butt lift was developed from this original treatment, as doctors established it to be a safe treatment to be used anywhere in the body to increase it in size gradually. Sculptra, a non-surgical and minimally invasive alternative to surgical butt augmentation, can last up to four years.
Sculptra by itself can produce amazing results, but it is often combined with treatments such as EMSculpt and CoolTone. These two treatments are very similar and are both tools that use electromagnetic technology, which contracts your muscles for you. It gives you the results of a weight training workout without the need to exercise and do squats. It involves an applicator that’s placed on the desired muscle groups, such as the abdomen, glutes and thighs. EMSculpt and CoolTone can increase your buttlift because they strengthen your glutes, which can tighten them and lift them. You may also find these treatments motivating to get to the gym. It might even make you want more.
Whether you want to go the surgical route and get a BBL or want to explore minimally invasive alternatives for your butt enhancement, the bottom line is to find a reputable physician who knows everything about the treatment to ensure that you get the best results and safest treatment possible.
