Booty Beauty Lift
There comes a time in everyone’s life when she or he looks in the mirror and realizes that physics is a very real and practical science.
Yes, gravity. We all expect to see our eyelids fall and jawlines sag, but that’s not the worst of it. The real shocker is that day when you turn around, fresh out of the shower, and catch in the corner of your eye... a dimpled, droopy ass.
We screamed.
I believe that a guttural "Oh, God!" - a primal, expressionistic howl - was our response.
So we were very happy to learn that Dr. Yan Trokel, a New York-based cosmetic surgeon, is now performing a "booty lift." (No, we haven’t had one- yet. If you hear of a freelance writer who held up a bank in Southern California, however, you’ll know who it was.)
The science
Basically the procedure enhances the appearance of "the buttock area" by not only lifting the sagging lower part of the tush, but also by resculpting the overall shape of your buns. This seemingly magical task is done with the use of filler - hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring agent in our bodies - resulting in a more prominent and pleasing backside contour.
While this is certainly a surgery elected by many 40-pluses, some young’uns are also joining in on the fun- either to simply get a better booty, or because of a sagging anatomical issue. Face it: few of us are born with ideal booties, and diet and exercise only go so far in creating the backside we truly want. This is especially true for the droopy effect in the lower side of the butt; in this case, men or women of any age can enhance the overall shape of the region through this procedure.
The surgery produces instantaneous results, takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, and is performed in the comfort of the surgeon’s office. Fortuitously enough, there’s no downtime with this procedure (unlike with liposuction) and virtually no recuperation is necessary. Patients can resume almost all daily activities post procedure, including sleeping and sitting on the backside, with the exception of sitting in a lounge position for a couple of days post-treatment.
What price beauty?
The cost of the lift ranges from $4,000-$6,000 depending on the amount of product needed for the procedure. Worth it? We’d go under in a heartbeat: the Structural Butt Lift/Augmentation (its proper name) not only lifts but also improves the overall structure of the region by resculpting it to a more rounded, fuller and pleasing contour.
According to Dr. Trokel, "This is a minimally invasive procedure that yields immediate and pleasing results with no anesthesia, incisions, needles, fat grafting, bruising, swelling or pain that is associated with surgical procedures. [People] now have the option to attain a more pleasing backside without going under a surgical knife. Most important, given the excellent results obtained, there is a huge ’immediate gratification factor.’ Many patients who have lived for years with sagging buttocks have the situation reversed in less than an hour and are exceedingly pleased by the results."
