Ageing is something that takes it toll on the entire body, whether it’s wrinkles appearing around your eyes and mouth or your skin starting to sag. For the buttocks in particular, not exercising enough, being sat down for prolonged periods and yo-yo dieting also don’t help the ageing process and take their own toll on the skin, muscles and internal tissues. What this means is that your buttocks start to hold and accumulate more fat, cellulite starts to appear, you retain more water and your skin appears looser, altogether resulting in sagging or droopy buttocks and imperfect skin. Thankfully, there are options available to treat this such as the non-surgical Brazilian butt lift which uses a combination of HIFU and fat freezing technologies to improve the appearance of the buttocks.
What exactly causes the appearance of sagging buttocks?
There’s a lot of things that can cause your rear end to look soft or saggy, such as;
- A general lack of exercise, but more specifically lack of exercise of the gluteus maximus
- Over eating or excessive calorie intake
- Being sat down for a prolonged period of time (sorry office workers)
- The bodys natural ageing process
- Losing or gaining weight, which can leave you with excess skin
- Liposuction is also responsible for leaving excess skin which can worsen the appearance of the buttocks
What exercises can help improve the appearance of the buttocks?
The main muscle in your rear end, the gluteus maximus, is probably the only muscle that you can’t get too much of and the bigger the muscle is, the nicer the shape of your bum is. There are many exercises that are good for improving the appearance of your rear end from the inside out, such as;
- Squats – carrying out squats whilst holding dumbbells is a really good way to build the gluteus maximus but they also build up the quads at the same time, which can lead to bulkier thighs (which aren’t the goal).
- Deadlifting – deadlifts whilst holding a barbell actually isolate the gluteus maximus much more than squats do, but for those who are less experienced they can be more dangerous
- One-legged squats – these place a lot of emphasis on the butt without targeting the quads, helping to improve the appearance without bulking our your thighs.
- Donkey kicks – performing donkey kicks with ankle weights is a perfect exercise that target the muscles In the butt without targeting your other muscles.
The downside to all of these though is that while they will help you to fight fat and build the muscle beneath the skin, they don’t actually do anything to improve the appearance of the skin or cellulite found on the bum.
This is where the non-surgical Brazilian butt lift comes in to save the day, as it can effectively combat the appearance of cellulite on the surface of the skin whilst simultaneously tightening and repairing the skin at a foundation level.
How does a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift work?
The non-surgical Brazilian butt lift works by combining two forms of technology, HIFU and fat freezing, to combat the appearance of cellulite and improve the appearance of the skin. The HIFU treatment is performed to target the deeper structures of the skin at a cellular level by causing a thermal reaction in the cells. This reaction destroys the fat cells from the inside out and tightens the skin around it by stimulating the healing processes of the body and the new production of collagen. The fat freezing treatment does the complete opposite and cools the fat cells to a point where they can no longer function, causing them to die and be expelled by the body using its natural methods.
By remodeling, repositioning and removing the fat cells within the skin whilst tightening the skin on the outside, the body is able to drastically improve the appearance of the buttocks without the need to resort to expensive and potentially risky surgery.
What is the surgical variation of the Brazilian butt lift?
The standard Brazilian butt lift is a very aesthetically pleasing procedure, but it also comes with the most risk and is actually known as the surgical cosmetic procedure with the highest mortality rate. During a Brazilian butt lift surgery, fat from another area of the body is transferred to the buttocks which does improve the shape of the bum, but it is only temporary. After 2-3 years following the treatment, the transferred fat starts to accumulate and only worsens the appearance of sagging, leaving you where you started (but with more fat there).
With good aftercare and the routine following of a permanent and strict diet and exercise regime, the results of a Brazilian butt lift can last anywhere up to 15 years but for the vast majority of patients, they’ll be lucky for their results to make it that far.
How long will it take to see results afterwards?
After undergoing a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift, you’ll start to see results instantly and these will only grow more noticeable over time as the body adapts and changes naturally to the fat being expelled and the skin becoming tighter. If you want to achieve greater results, then opting for a course of butt lift treatments may be the best option to go for, but whether you opt for one or an entire course, the way the treatment works means that the results will appear gradually over time so are more natural in appearance.
