For women who are dissatisfied with having a flat backside, a butt lift can be an appealing option. However, there are exercises that are said to help individuals maximize and reshape their glutes. These exercise movements may provide individuals with greater firmness, but will not produce the same contouring results that plastic surgery is capable of:
Deep Squats
Old school? Yes. Effective? You bet. The deep squat is one of the most underrated lower body exercises there is. Here’s how it’s done: Stand with your feet just a little more than a shoulder width apart, and prop an exercise bar (or if you need to be resourceful, a weighted pole or broom) behind the neck on the shoulders. Holding the bar, squat down as far as you can. Picturing your butt touching the ground may help, but make sure your knees don’t go over your feet. Slowly raise back up, making sure your glutes are doing the work. Do 10 repetitions.
Scorpion Kicks
For scorpion kicks, start by placing the bar in front of your body. Bending 45 degrees at the waist with your butt sticking out, stand with one leg and kick the other leg straight back as if you are trying to kick yourself in the back of the head. Remember, you can use the bar for balance, or if you are using a household item for a bar you may be able to do this facing a wall instead (and using the wall for balance). Do 10 repetitions with each leg.
Step Ups
You’re familiar with the phrase “feel the burn,” right? Step ups will make you feel it in the glutes, right where you want it. It requires a flat exercise bench; if you’re improvising at home, it can be done in front of stairs, but you will need to skip at least one step. Stand in front of the bench or step, keep one leg on the ground and placing the other foot on the bench or step. Push yourself up to a standing position on top of the bench or on the other step, without letting the originally grounded foot touch it. Slowly lower yourself back down. You just completed one repetition! Repeat for 10 repetitions on each leg, and enjoy the burn; that means it’s working!
Despite the efficacy of these exercises, many women still opt to undergo butt lift surgery as a means of complementing their butt exercise efforts. If this interests you, further information is available on the Texas Institute of Functional Medicine (TIFM) website for a butt lift near Highland Park, Texas.
In recent years, there have been many technique and technological advances in techniques and technology in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery. The combination of liposuction and fat transfer, which helps to create a more streamlined, feminine figure, is among the newer methods of enhancement. When performed together, the extracted fat suctioned during liposuction (which used to be discarded as waste) is harvested and injected into the face, breasts, and/or buttocks.
The use of the patient’s own tissue ensures that there is no rejection or adverse reaction to the treated area(s). Patients who wish to add subtle volume to their breasts or buttocks may benefit from a better-contoured shape through the fat transfer technique following liposuction. In addition, patients often feel more at ease using their own fat cells rather than having a foreign object inserted into their bodies, such as silicone implants. Furthermore, it is said that the fat tissue removed consists of stem cells that can be used in healing and repairing viral organs and other damaged tissues. A StemSource Cell Banks in Texas is now the home to the country’s stem and regenerative cells that have been suctioned from patients.
If you are in the Miami area and interested in fat transfer procedures, board certified plastic surgeon Constantino G. Mendieta, M.D., F.A.C.S. can be of great service. He can perform liposuction, breast augmentation, and buttock enhancement with the use of fat transfer at his practice.
