What are the treatment options for flaccid buttocks?
There are a few treatment options available to patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their flaccid buttocks and they are as follows:
Fat grafting: Fat grafting is a surgical procedure that can be used to add volume to the buttocks, which can help to improve the appearance of a sagging or drooping butt. The fat grafting is usually done using the patient's own fat, which is taken from another part of the body through liposuction. This fat, is then, purified and injected into the buttocks to give it volume and a fuller look.
The procedure usually takes about two hours to complete, and the results are typically long-lasting. There is also minimal downtime associated with fat grafting, as patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days.
Fillers: Fillers are a type of cosmetic injectable that can help to plump up and fill in areas of the face that have lost volume. This can help to create a more youthful appearance and can also be used to improve the look of other areas of the body, such as the buttocks.
It can be performed at the physician's office with minimal discomfort and downtime. The results are usually temporary, lasting anywhere from six months to a year, although some patients may see longer-lasting results. Your physician may suggest repeat treatments to maintain your results. The side effects of fillers are typically mild and temporary, such as bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection site.
Butt implants: Butt implants are a type of cosmetic surgery that involves inserting artificial implants into the buttocks to give them a fuller, more rounded appearance. The implants are usually made of silicone, and the surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Silicone implants are available in a variety of sizes, and the surgeon will select the size that best suits your body type and desired look.
The results of butt implants are usually permanent, although the implants may need to be replaced or removed at some point in the future if they leak or rupture. The patient can get back to regular activities within a few weeks, but it may take several months for the incisions to heal completely.
