A recent article in The Daily Mail described how a Miami woman spent five figures on a Brazilian butt lift to look like Kim Kardashian. Marlene Chinea says she failed to get the figure she wanted after performing more than 300 squats a day. She stopped working out and underwent the procedure, which involves injecting 4lbs of her own fat into her hindquarters. The story highlights how changing body ideals are leading some people to take extreme measures to live up to celebrities like the Kardashians and opt for buttock augmentation.
There’s never been a time when more people wanted a bigger butt. Buttock augmentation procedures are gaining popularity right now — more than 20,000 people underwent them in the year that the most recent statistics were kept, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The 20,000 figure represented an 86% increase from the previous year. If surgery isn’t for you, the 30-day squat challenge fad can help you achieve the results you want. So which is the best way to go? Build your butt or buy one?
Building the butt of your dreams
You can perform squats until you’re exhausted, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that will lead to the kind of change you desire. This is particularly true if you don’t take the proper dietary and nutritional steps to increase the size of your butt. Although squats are effective in shaping and toning the butt, you won’t achieve a perfect state unless you combine strength training, cardio exercises, and proper nutrition.
To achieve optimal results, it’s helpful to combine exercises that target this area. Compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and lunges are beneficial for developing the lower body. The butt can also be isolated with exercises like donkey kicks or glute kickbacks.
Don’t throw in the towel if your butt doesn’t instantly “pop” after a few training sessions. Genetics is a big factor for many people. Some are born with a luxurious booty, while others have to work hard to get it. Others may find that they can’t achieve their goals. Consistently follow your exercise regimen to ensure your muscles are toned, defined and lifted.
Buttock augmentation: Buying your ass
Do you know what the two most popular butt enhancements are? One is the butt augmentation procedure, which involves the placement of an implant through a small incision. The other is a fat transfer procedure, which involves the redistribution of fat taken from other parts of the body.
A good butt enhancement procedure involves reshaping the buttocks, rather than simply increasing the size. In fact, good surgeons insist that shape is more important than size. The same phenomenon is seen in breast surgery, where certain doctors are classified as “stuffers,” while others are “shapers.” It is always best to have a true artist like Dr. Antún performing these types of procedures. Look for a surgeon who carefully contours your buttocks rather than one who relies on simple size enhancement.
It is critical to understand that both size and shape are relative to each patient. A procedure that provides a great result for one individual may prove terrible for another. This highlights the fact that it is very important that you select an experienced surgeon with the necessary experience and training to perform your procedure successfully. Avoid those who use flashy discounts and advertisements to attract patients.
Buttock augmentation: Brazilian Butt Lift
Many people feel that Jennifer Lopez has achieved with the buttocks what Pamela Anderson has done with the breasts. In recent years, the buttock augmentation are taking center stage. It is their time to shine. Reshaping or augmenting the buttocks can improve their appearance throughout the gluteal region and lower back.
This procedure is performed through body liposuction, transferring fat to the buttocks to create a rounder, perkier buttocks. Not only can it reshape the buttocks, but it can also alter the appearance of the back and hips, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance and body contour.
What it implies
To begin, Dr. Antún will first contour the buttock area using liposuction to ensure that your buttocks are more prominent. Some common areas used for fat donation include the stomach, lower back, thighs, and waist.
The extracted fat will be purified before being reinjected into the buttocks. A special fat injection technique involves placing only the best donor fat for reinjection. This purified fat will then be injected into different layers of the buttocks to achieve a smoother, more natural appearance, ensuring that the fat graft has a better long-term survival rate.
Making your results last
If you do manage to get the results you want, you’ll want to make sure they last as long as possible. If you’ve found that your efforts at the gym paid off, you can maintain them by continuing the same diet and exercise routines that got you there.
Similarly, those who get great results from cosmetic procedures like the Brazilian butt lift should realize that their results will be temporary. About 30% of the fat used in the procedure will not survive the transfer process. Instead, it will be removed and excreted by your body. Any fat that survives the procedure will take its place along with the natural fat in the treatment area. If you gain weight, it will get bigger, while it will be smaller when you lose weight.
