If you’re tired of feeling discomfort from your large buttocks or struggling to find clothes that fit you, then butt reduction surgery may be the solution you’re looking for!
Women often undergo buttock augmentation surgery not only to increase their butt size but also to reduce it. Not only do overly large buttocks appear abnormal and aesthetically unpleasant, but they may also lead to lower self-esteem in people.
What Is Butt Reduction Surgery?
Butt reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the size of the buttocks. Many men who have excess adipose tissue on their butt choose to get this surgery done because that excess fat makes their butt look more feminine and unattractive.
However, it’s gaining more popularity among women for achieving a more proportionate and contoured looking body or simply to get rid of the discomfort caused by large buttocks in daily life.
According to a survey done by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2020, almost 92% of cosmetic surgery patients in the U.S. were women, while only 8% were men.
This procedure works by removing extra fat and tissues from the buttock region and thus, balances out the shape of the body. Many patients also report increased comfort, confidence, and self-esteem after getting the surgery.
When it comes to the techniques used for butt reduction surgery, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but generally, it’s done either by Liposuction in Korea, which removes excess fat deposits or by excision, which removes both skin and fat to avoid saggy-looking skin after the removal of excess fat.
Reasons to Consider Butt Reduction Surgery
People consider butt reduction surgery for many reasons:
(1)Aesthetic preferences
Many individuals who have naturally large buttocks may choose to get this surgery done when they start overshadowing other parts of their body like the waist and legs.
Women may consider it if they want to achieve a proportionate body for aesthetic reasons, and men may get it done to achieve a more contoured-looking body and overall toned appearance, which might boost their confidence.
(2)Physical discomfort
People also choose to get this surgery done to reduce the physical discomfort caused by overly large buttocks, as it can put excess pressure on the lower back, which leads to back pain, hip strain, and postural issues over time.
In warm climates, extra fat in the buttocks may also create friction in the skin folds that results in rashes and irritation.
(3)Health Considerations
Some medical conditions like lipedema (excessive growth of fatty tissue) may cause abnormally large buttocks, which leads to musculoskeletal injuries, joint strain, etc.
Butt fat removal can help people with these problems and make physical activities easier for them.
(4) Challenges with clothing and daily activities
Many people who report difficulty fitting into standard clothing sizes due to large buttocks choose butt reduction surgery to deal with this as it can broaden wardrobe options for them, boost their self-esteem as well as make everyday movements like walking, running, or even sitting in chairs easier.
Types of Butt Reduction Techniques
(1)Liposuction
Liposuction is the most popular technique used in butt reduction surgery that removes fat from buttocks that didn’t respond to diet and exercise.
Korean surgeons use this method of placing a cannula (a slim tube) through minor cuts in the skin and moving it back and forth rapidly to loosen and break up the fat deposits.
The loosened fat is then suctioned out by a vacuum device, and the skin of the butt shrinks naturally and conforms to the new contour after fat removal. The type of liposuction technique, 5d liposculpture or fat grafting, is chosen by the surgeon according to the client’s need.
People with good skin elasticity with a desire for moderate reduction in the size of the buttocks are ideal candidates for this technique.
Buttock liposuction before and after photos often show a toned butt area without sagging skin. Slight discomfort, bruising, and swelling can be expected after this procedure, but it usually subsides over a few weeks.
(2)Excision
Another technique used in butt reduction surgery is the excision technique. It is an invasive method that not only removes the excess fat but also the sagging skin in the butt area.
People who have faced fluctuations in their weight due to any reason like aging, medical conditions, etc, and deal with loosened skin are usually considered for this method as liposuction alone can’t address their problem.
During the excision technique, when the surgeon makes incisions to remove the fat deposits, they make sure to remove the excess skin as well ensuring tightened tissues of the buttocks and hence creating a smooth and firm appearance of the buttocks. It takes longer to recover when the excision technique is used as it is more intensive than liposuction and more tissue manipulation is involved.
(3)Butt lift
A butt lift can be combined with buttock liposuction when both size reduction and contouring of the butt are required by the patient.
This combination not only reduces the size of the butt but also lifts and tightens the butt, which creates a firm buttock area.
After the fat removal by hip lipo or excision, the surgeon lifts the underlying tissue and tightens the muscles in the buttocks, resulting in a more sculpted look.
However, it takes the longest time to recover due to its extensive procedure.
The Procedure: What to Expect
(1)Pre-surgery preparations
Before undergoing a butt reduction surgery, the patient meets their surgeon, and different medical tests and evaluations are done.
The surgeon informs the client about the surgical process and instructions about how to prepare for the surgery.
Any questions the client may have regarding the surgery are also answered and risks and complications are discussed as well.
(2)Anesthesia
The first step of the procedure is placing the patient under anesthesia. Usually, general anesthesia is used in butt reduction surgery as it ensures a pain-free experience as the patient becomes unconscious under it.
A thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, current health condition, allergies, and potential risk factors is done by the surgeon before administering anesthesia.
(3)Process
The surgeon makes incisions in the targeted areas of the buttocks to insert a specialized thin tube called a cannula that moves to and fro rapidly and loosens and breaks up the fat deposits. That cannula is connected to a vacuum device that suctions out the fat from the body. At last, the excess skin is removed, and the incisions are sutured and closed by the surgeon.
If the buttock liposuction technique is used, only excess fat is removed. Suction-assisted liposuction requires injecting a tumescent solution into the region to limit bleeding and make the procedure more comfortable. Methods like laser-assisted liposuction or ultrasound-assisted liposuction have also revolutionized buttock reduction surgery. These technologies use ultrasound rays or laser technology to melt the fat inside the buttocks before suctioning it out.
If the excision technique is used, both fat and skin are removed through incisions.
If the patient requires a butt lift, then after the fat is suctioned out, the muscles of the buttocks are also lifted, as discussed above.
Incision Placement
The incisions made during the surgery are usually made under the natural curves of the butt area, upper buttocks, or lower back to minimize scarring. The exact location of the incision depends on the amount of fat and skin that needs to be removed, as well as the individual anatomy of the patient.
(4)Duration
The duration of the procedure typically ranges between two to four hours and depends on how complex the surgery is. Korean surgeons are highly skilled and thus get the work done in less time and also ensure the comfort of the patient.
(5)Post-surgical care
Once the surgery is done, the incisions are closed by sutures. As this process creates cavities where fat cells have been removed, it's crucial to compress the tissue following the procedure.
Patients are advised to wear a special compression garment for 5–6 weeks to help with this. The loosened tissue also needs ample time to heal, so strenuous exercise and heavy lifting that could strain the lower back muscles should be avoided.
(6)Recovery time and follow-up
The recovery time after the surgery varies depending on the technique used during the surgery. However, most patients need 3-4 weeks off from work and strenuous activities.
The bruising and swelling may go down completely after 2-3 months of the surgery. Patients are advised to avoid sitting for extended periods of time.
Regular follow-up appointments after buttock reduction are scheduled with the surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns of the patients.
