The Brazilian butt lift is one of the most popular body contouring procedures around today and because it only uses the patient’s natural body fat, there is very little risk of complications.
If you are an ideal candidate for this procedure, you may be wondering what shape you should choose. To understand what changes need to be made to your buttocks, it helps to know more about the different shapes.
BBL Buttock Shapes
There are a few different factors that go into determining the shape of your buttocks, including the position of your hips, the amount of fatty tissue that’s currently present in the buttocks and the size of the muscles in this area. Buttock augmentation specialist from Melbourne, Dr Ritz, outlines the most common buttock shapes:
Round
Celebs like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez have what we call a round butt shape. This particular shape is most common among women with full hips and natural curves that can perfectly fill out a pair of jeans. It is possible to achieve this round shape using exercise alone but the Brazilian butt lift makes the process much easier. Plus, there’s the benefit of removing unwanted fat from the midsection just above the buttocks to create that hourglass figure.
Heart
This buttock shape can best be described as an upside down heart. In most cases, a narrow waistline will transition to full hips and a round butt. Because the hips are rounder, it forms sensuous curves without taking away from the fullness of the butt. A Brazilian butt lift can be used to enhance this shape or add more volume to create an even appearance.
A-Shape
Pear-shaped women who have a smaller chest and wider hips tend to have a-shape buttocks. A-shape buttocks also stem from a narrower waistline and wider hips. Again, a Brazilian butt lift can either be used to enhance this shape or add more volume. Women with this shape can really benefit from liposuction around the thigh area to create a beautiful silhouette.
Square
A square buttock has straight lines from the waist to the thighs but a Brazilian butt lift can be used to add some curves to the buttocks and the body’s profile. In most cases, it’s recommended that patients with a square butt trim excess fat away from the waistline.
V-Shape
The V-shape is more common in older women because fat distribution shifts from the butt to the abdomen. Basically, there are more curves above the buttocks than below the hips. Some sagging also occurs with age, which adds to this V-shape. During a Brazilian butt lift, fat is usually removed from the abdomen and placed on the cheeks to create a round shape.
Regardless of the shape of your buttocks, there are ways that a Brazilian butt lift can enhance one of your best features. Creating natural curves doesn’t require implants; all you need is some excess fat and the help of an experienced surgeon.
