Using existing buttock tissue to reshape and lift
Body Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation) Brisbane
To perform a hybrid butt lift, Dr Justin Perron uses existing tissue and skin to reshape and lift your buttocks.
To complete the procedure, Dr Perron will make an incision along the lower back—from hip to hip. Excess skin below the incision is pulled up which lifts the buttocks. Any extra skin and fat are then used to create a ‘pillow’, which acts as the volume for the buttocks. Fat injections are then used in the ‘safe zone’ to shape the buttock and achieve the desired look.
The average Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation) takes approximately two to three hours to complete under a general anaesthetic
Want to enhance the size and shape of your buttocks but not sure what your options are? Here is why you should consider a hybrid butt lift.
This surgery is ideal as part of a body contouring treatment plan following significant weight loss. Many patients who have finally reached a healthy weight notice a loss of fullness in the buttocks. A Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation)helps remove excess fat and sagging skin to achieve a more natural buttock shape. Some fat grafting may be incorporated into the procedure if a very specific result needs to be achieved.
Dr Justin Perron is a Canadian born, Australian trained plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgeon. He offers the Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation) for patients in and around Brisbane as a safer alternative to a Brazilian butt lift. If you would like to know more about a Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation)and why it’s better than a Brazilian butt lift, contact Dr Justin Perron today.
Before a Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation)can be considered, patients should be in good health – this is the same for any type of cosmetic surgery procedure. In terms of your weight, it’s best to achieve your goal weight prior to surgery. By being in better shape before surgery, it will enhance your results and ensure a smoother recovery.
A Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation)can take up to five hours and will require a general anaesthetic. Once the incisions are made and the skin lifted, the incisions will be closed using sutures and a compression garment will be applied. Patients may need to spend a night in hospital but Dr Perron will advise you accordingly after your surgery. Drains may need to be inserted to remove any fluid, but these will be removed several days later. The compression garment, on the other hand, will need to be worn for several weeks to achieve the best outcome.
Patients will need to spend several days at home to recover after a butt lift. It will also be necessary to avoid strenuous exercise for at least a month, particularly if it impacts your lower body. Pain and swelling can be managed with medication and by wearing the necessary compression garment. Recovery will take patience and the final results of your procedure will only be visible after several months. To maintain these results, it’s essential for patients to lead a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise.
When it comes to enhancing the buttocks, a Brazilian butt lift (buttock fat grafting) is one of the other options that patients can consider. To complete this procedure, fat is removed from one area of the body and transferred to the buttocks to achieve a perkier shape.
This procedure can cost up to $15,000. The Brazilian Butt Lift has a reputation for being an unsafe procedure, when performed by untrained or unqualified doctors. It’s extremely important to understand the risks associated with such a difficult surgery, Dr Perron is confident that both the Hybrid Butt Lift (buttock autoaugmentation) and Brazilian Butt Lift (buttock fat grafting) can both be performed safely, to improve the appearance of their buttocks.
Another option is having gel or silicone implants inserted into the buttocks. While this procedure was once quite common, more and more patients that underwent this surgery experienced implant ruptures or displacement. This creates a lumpy, undesirable appearance. Fixing a ruptured implant can be difficult and often results in a lack of symmetry. Plus, it means having to schedule a second surgery.
There is no way to determine an exact cost for this surgery because every patient has very specific requirements. A price range for this procedure is approximately $9,000 – $12,000. During your consultation, Dr Perron will be able to provide you with a better idea of the cost once an examination has been performed, and other factors such as hospital and anaesthetist fees have been considered. Since this is cosmetic surgery, Medicare and private health insurance providers will not cover the costs, unless there is a medical reason for the procedure.
Figures listed are Surgeon’s fees only. Other fees might include: Anaesthetic fees, Hospital fees, Garment fee’s, Implant/ Prosthesis fee’s, Assist fee’s. All patients are different and require different treatment approaches, therefore, price ranges have been provided. However, an accurate individualised quote will be provided to the patient after an in depth consultation with Dr Perron is completed.
Since an incision will be required to lift the skin and create the new buttock shape, some scarring will be present after surgery. Every step will be taken to minimise scarring though and Dr Perron will provide you with scar management instructions after surgery. For one, keeping the incisions out of direct sunlight until they’re fully healed can keep scars lighter.
As with all surgical procedures, there is some degree of risk involved. Along with the usual side effects, which includes bruising, swelling and discomfort, there are a few other risks associated with a hybrid butt lift, including:
Dr Perron will take you through all of the potential risks associated with this procedure and what will be done to minimise them. You will also receive an antibiotic after surgery that will help prevent any potential infections.
Please be advised that all procedures carry risks, therefore, we encourage patients to consult with their regular GP and Qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon before considering surgery. Find more information here.
Yes, a butt lift is very often included in a lower body lift (circumfirential lipoabdominoplasty), which also focuses on the abdomen and thighs. Keep in mind that adding extra procedures will increase time in surgery and can affect both the cost and recovery period required. One benefit of undergoing all procedures at once is that only one recovery period will be required.
