BUTTOCK SCULPTING — A SAFER ALTERNATIVE TO BBL

Fat injection into the buttocks (BBL) has become increasingly popular in recent years.
The procedure was originally developed in South America and was designed to increase the size and shape of the buttocks. The BBL became very popular in the United States, however recently the safety of the procedure has been brought into question by the medical community. It has been found the buttock fat augmentation has the highest mortality rate of any cosmetic procedure, the mortality rate is 1 person in 3000!

Several years ago, Dr. Vitolo pioneered the development of a safer alternative to BBL that would give the appearance of a rounder, more defined buttocks without the need to inject fat, BUTTOCK SCULPTING!

WHO’S A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BUTTOCK SCULPTING?

Almost anyone who is a good candidate for liposuction could have the shape of their buttocks improved with buttock sculpting. This procedure does not actually make the buttocks larger, but it defines the buttocks to make them look perkier and rounder. Since it does not involve injecting fat into the body it is a safer procedure with the same risk factors as regular liposuction.

Any person who is concerned about the risk of fat injections into the buttocks, but still wants the benefits of a rounder, perkier buttock is a candidate for this procedure which offers a safer alternative.

DR. VITOLO’S APPROACH TO Buttock Sculpting:

Fat injection to the buttocks is designed to make the buttocks larger by injecting large amounts of harvested fat into the tissues of the buttocks. Dr. Vitolo’s buttock sculpting procedure does not make the buttocks larger, it makes the buttocks look larger and better than before.

How is that possible, without adding volume to the buttocks? Simple, Dr. Vitolo’s technique for buttock sculpting reduces the size of the surrounding fat areas by sculpting these tissues, with his external ultrasonic-assisted liposculpture (EUAL) technique to reduce their volume and that lets the natural size of the buttocks stand out and look larger. He re-contours the “love handles”, the “saddlebags”, the inner thigh, and the back of the thigh under the buttock crease. He then adds the final touch to give the buttocks definition, re-contouring the buttock crease! Most women have a lower buttock crease that is flat and that makes the buttocks look wide. Dr. Vitolo re-shapes the buttock crease, by curving it upward around the buttock, and sculpts the fat underneath the crease to give a round shape to the buttocks. This creates a round, perky look to the buttocks.

Another benefit of this procedure is that the patient does not have to avoid sitting for fear of damaging the grafted fat, and does not have to wear special garments for a long time after surgery!

This procedure is quicker than the long operative time of fat grafting and the blood loss is much less than fat grafting which further reduces the risk. A huge additional benefit is that the patient has the fat removed from the “love handles” and “saddlebags” thus resulting in an overall improvement in the whole shape of the body.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?

After the buttock sculpting procedure, the areas sculpted are shaped with the use of a special foam tape that keeps the shape during the initial healing and the patient is placed in a regular liposuction garment. After two days the patient removes these tapes herself in a shower or bath and replaces the garment for two days. There is minimal discomfort and the average patient can return to work or normal activities on the third day after the procedure.
If a patient has the procedure on Friday, most patients return to work on Monday.

WHAT RESULTS WILL I SEE?*

As soon as the tapes are removed the patient can see the initial results of the procedure. In a few days, the normal post-operative swelling resolves and more definition is seen. As with any liposuction procedure, the final result is seen as the skin shrinks and the swelling resolves in a month or two, but during this time the shape of the buttocks and the body are much improved.
