Let’s be honest – you may not have the perseverance to do squats all day, but does that stop you from wanting a well-defined rear? Well, clearly not!

As a truly non-surgical procedure, the Dermal filler Butt Lift, which  is  popular abroad, is slowing garnering popularity in India.

A Dermal filler is a great option for those who desire a fuller and shapelier buttocks enhancement.  Especially if you have unable to achieve it because  of inadequate fat. However, fillers are not US-FDA approved for butts yet and hence are used as an off label indication by the medical practictioners.

The most striking difference between the Dermal filler Butt Lift and the Brazilian Butt Lift is that Dermal filler injection is a non-surgical procedure and there is no down time involved. Dermal filler Butt Lift requires only simple and painless injections under the skin during a quick 30-minute treatment. It is a great alternative to the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure for leaner patients that don't have quite enough extra fat to transfer. Dermal filler works over time, gradually thickening the skin up to four times, thereby adding a visible volume increasing effect to the buttocks area.

At their core, Brazilian Butt Lift and Dermal filler Butt Lift are designed to do two different things. A Brazilian Butt Lift can generate enhanced effects, where as a Dermal filler  butt Lift can create a subtle but important impact. As such, the two procedures use different approaches and Dermal filler is used if someone has inadequate fat to transfer yet wants to add volume to the butt area.

During a Brazilian Butt Lift, the first step is liposuction. Fat is removed from a target area with excess fat. The removed fat is then injected into the buttocks. The results are long lasting and, often, quite bold.

A Dermal filler Butt Lift does not require liposuction because the injected material is the dermal collagen stimulator rather than a fat graft. The advantage here is that there is no need for even minimally invasive surgery, and therefore no anesthetic is required. The results tend to be gradual and subtle, with no recovery needed. Dermal filler requires several treatments generally one month apart and results improve over time. The results will generally last two to three years. This makes Dermal filler Butt Lift is  ideal for patients who want natural results, don't have time for recovery, or don't have areas of fat large enough to perform liposuction.Benefits: No anesthetic injections are necessary.

Wonderful for lean patients desiring a fuller, shapelier behind.

Short recovery time. Subtle and natural looking results Limited interruption to your daily life Procedure can be accomplished in as little as 30 minutes.

Provides a subtle lift and volume to the buttocks area.
